Is a continuation of the Bayan Khundii gold deposit; mapping indicates that quartz-illite alteration is continuous from Ulaan Southeast to Bayan Khundii. Gold mineralization encountered in drill core is associated with quartz-hematite ± adularia veins within wide zones of illite-altered and silicified lapilli tuffs with little to no sulfide minerals, thus resembling the adjacent Bayan Khundii deposit.
