The exposed strata in the mining area of the Laoyingqing zinc deposit include the Middle Proterozoic Kunyang Group Huangcaoling Formation (Pt2h), the Heishantou Formation (Pt2hs), the Sinian Dengying Formation (Z2dn), and the Quaternary System (Q). Among them, the lower section of the Middle Proterozoic Kunyang Group Huangcaoling Formation (Pt2h1) is the main ore-bearing layer, and the lithology of this section is thin-to-medium- layered slate with a small amount of limestone and dolomite. There is no exposed magmatic rock in or around the mining area.
The controlled ore bodies are 302–371 m long and 3.10–3.56 m thick. The morphology of the ore bodies is irregular and locally swollen. The average thickness of the V1 ore body in a single engineering project is 3.56 m, with an average grade of 4.90%. The average thickness of the V2 ore body in a single engineering project is 3.10 m, with an average grade of 5.36%. In the V1 and V2 zinc ore bodies, it is estimated that the 332 and 333 types of zinc resources are 657,500 tons, the total amount of zinc metals is 32,992.55 tons, and the average grade of Zn is 5.02%. Among them, the amount of zinc resources of the 332 type is 328,600 tons, the amount of zinc metals is 15,916.40 tons, and the average grade of Zn is 4.84%; the amount of zinc resources of the 333 type is 328,900 tons, the amount of zinc metals is 17,076.15 tons, and the average grade of Zn is 5.19%.
