Köppen climate type:
Several coal seams in this deposit contain large amounts of clay minerals and of böhmite (up to 13.1%), which was found to contain about 0.09% (w/w) of gallium. Hence, this deposit is considered an economic gallium deposit.
The structural morphology of the Heidaigou mining area is mainly controlled by the Jiaogeibu anticline located in the eastern part of the area. Most of the region belongs to the western wing of this anticline, which trends northeast and inclines southeast. The stratum has a gentle dip angle, with the overall stratum trending NE40°–55°, inclining southeast, and the dip angle is generally less than 10°. There are few faults in the area, with only a few small faults developed in the central–northern part. Overall, the structure of the entire area is quite regular, with both the fold axes and faults trending northeast. The fold axes incline from northeast to southwest, and the general structural situation of the bedrock in the exploration area is higher in the northeast and lower in the southwest. This pattern seems to control the regular variation of the strata and coal seams from northeast to southwest. The main coal-bearing formation, the Taiyuan Formation, tends to thicken gradually from northeast to southwest.
