The regional stratigraphy, from oldest to newest, includes the Ordovician Huaniushan Group, Devonian Dundunshan Group, Carboniferous Hongliuyuan and Shibanshan Formations, Permian Shuangbaotang and Jinta Formations, and the Quaternary. The area features well-developed fault structures, predominantly nearly east–west and northeast trending, with the former being more prominent. These faults significantly influence regional stratigraphy, metamorphic deformation, and mineral distribution. Frequent magmatic intrusion activities occurred from the Ordovician to the Triassic, primarily forming bands or sheets. The lithology is complex, with outcrops ranging from ultrabasic to acidic rocks, predominantly intermediate-acidic types, which are closely linked to the genesis of various mineral types in the region.
