Mafic-ultramafic differentiated intrusion in Kansk’s Greenstone Belt.
Located in eastern Sayan.

Melonite is a palladoan bismuthian variety.

The Kingash massif is mapped in plan view as a large lens (3 × 0.7 km) elongated in the near-meridional direction and lies conformably with the structure of framework rocks. Its contacts with country rocks are tectonic. The massif is made up of ultramafic and gabbroic rocks with significant prevalence of the former in abundance.
