Medium-scale carbonate-hosted asbestos deposit. The strata exposed in the area are mainly siliceous carbonate rocks of the Middle Proterozoic Wumishan Formation, but other Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks are also met. The intrusions in the area are predominantly basic rocks. At the external contact zones between the basic intrusions and dolomite, serpentinization and asbestos mineralization are widely seen. The orebodies are stratiform, lentoid and irregular in shape and are concordant to their host dolomites. Main alteration include serpentinization, carbonatization, silicification and alteration to tremolite, diopside and talc. No alteration zoning could be divided. It is believed that host rocks provided the ore-forming materials, magmatic intrusions provided some heat and hydrothermal fluids needed.
