Hydrothermal vein-type silver-antimony deposit, hosted in a sequence of Lower-Upper Jurassic tuffs, sandstones, terrigenous volcanic rocks and marine-clastic rocks, that are indruded by quartz porphyry dykes and Yanshanian andesitic basalt and acidic granitic stocks. The ore bodies are controlled by a series of NE-trending faults. The host strata contain bituminous organic matter that is anomalously enriched in both silver and antimony.
