The ore body, oriented nearly north–south, has a thickness ranging from 1 to 4 m and extends for 25 m. It exhibits a lenticular shape, with a thicker middle section that thins and then disappears at the two ends towards the north and south. After reaching a depth of 15 m, the ore body gradually pinches out. In the vertical section, the magmatic hydrothermal fluid gave rise to a substantial ore body near the contact zone with dolomite marble, subsequently migrating along the marble layer to form three distinct branches.
Tremolite is primarily found forming along the outer contact zone of the marble, which is closely associated with mineralization. Serpentine formation can be observed both in the outer contact zone and the altered marble bedding zone.
