Epithermal Pb-Zn-Cu-Au-Ag ore deposit. Part of the Băiuț-Văratec-Poiana Botizei metallogenetic field.

The Vratec ore deposit consists of 18 veins. The Pb-Zn-Cu>Au-Ag veins are hosted byTertiary sedimentary and igneous rocks. Three groups can be defined: north-western (TransLivia, Livia, Vratec, Radu-Vasile, Gheorghe, Ramur Livia and Maria veins), central (Ioan Vechi, Ioan Nou, Tereza, Alexandru and 200 veins), and south-eastern (350, Botiza II, Botiza I, Botiza III, Botiza IV and Borcut veins) ones. The veins belong to three fracture systems: NE-SW, ENE-WSW and NNE-SSW. Their length varies between 0.2 and 5.9 km, with an average of 0.9 to 1.5 km. The vein thickness varies between 0.2-0.3 to more than 5.5 m. The current height of the mineralized level is variable, from tens of meters in the case of less-developed veins, up to about 500 m.
