The deposit is characterized by stratiform quartz vein-type and stockwork-type Sn mineralization, hosted within the surrounding sedimentary strata. Cassiterite typically exhibits euhedral to subhedral granular textures and is distributed as disseminations or bands within quartz veins. The controlled length of the ore body is about 170 m, with its northern end not yet pinched out, suggesting a potential extension of up to 350 m; the mineralized vein zone exceeds 20 m in width. Drilling has confirmed an ore body length of 170 m, and borehole ZK1301 intersected a mineralized zone with a true thickness of 52.73 m, revealing 7 tin ore layers; individual ore layers range in thickness from 0.83 m to 5.93 m, with a cumulative true thickness of 24.12 m and average grades of 0.05%–0.84% Sn and reserves of 11,600 t of Sn.
