The lower layer is the No. 1 orebody at the unconformity interface between the limestone (P2m) and Emeishan basalt (P3β1), which roughly coincides with the spatial distribution of structural alteration rock and is dominated by tectonites, such as limestone, tuff, and basalt. Furthermore, the orebody is 150~300 m long and 110~260 m wide. The upper layer is a No. 2 orebody in the second member of the Emeishan Basalt Formation (P3β2) basaltic breccia, which is the main ore-bearing horizon in the mining region and is 410 m long and 40~260 m wide. The orebody in the fold variation area is relatively thick, and the vertical distance between the two gold orebodies is 14~98 m.
