The ore bodies occur as veins and bedding, with NNE and SW extending. The ore bodies are inclined to southeast with the dip angle of
30° to 58°. The six major ore bodies are ranging from 88 m to 1553 m in length, and 2−35 m in width. Thefirst ore body is the largest one, with 1553 m long and about 12 m thick. The main economic composition of ore is spodumene, and the Li2O content is 0.40% to 3.60% with an average of 1.50%. The other associated economic components are Nb2O5(0.009%), Ta2O5(0.004%), BeO (0.04%), Rb2O(0.11%), and Sn (0.04%). The super large Sizemuzu deposit could contains Li2O prospecting resource over 0.5 Mt and Rb2O resource
over 3000 t.
