Magmatic-hydrothermal quartz vein-type gold deposit, hosted in granite and fine-grained diorite dykes related to the Mesozoic Sanguliu granite. It is associated with the Jurassic gneissic two-mica granites with gold reserves over 80 t. There are over 380 auriferous quartz veins at the Wulong deposit.

Over 460 auriferous quartz veins are developed in this area, with only 20% of them are economically mineralized. Dozens of high-grade veins outside the Wulong are privately exploited by local mine owners. These quartz veins are commonly 200 to 300 m long, 0.2 to 10 m wide. Major orebodies at Wulong are referred to as V4, V32, V65, V76, V80, V163. Among them, the No. 163 Vein is the largest, with an average gold grade at 6.28 g/t. It is over 1 km long, 0.5–11.6 m wide, strikes NW, and dip to SW at 65–70°.
Three mineralization stages have been identified at the Wulong gold deposit based on the field study, mineralogical assemblages, textures, and cross-cutting relationships observed in hand specimens and thin sections. Stage I is characterized by a few centimetres wide quartz + coarse grained pyrite veins. Stage II is the main gold mineralization stage and is characterized by 0.2–10 m wide quartz-polymetallic sulfide veins. CL image shows the quartz grains from this stage are relatively homogeneous. Quartz veins ores consist of quartz (90–95%), pyrite, pyrrhotite, gold, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, scheelite, bismuth, bismuthinite, hedleyite, calcite, sericite, monazite, etc. Gold is commonly coexisted with hedleyite, bismuth, bismuthinite. Stage III is characterized by several centimetres wide euhedral coarse grained calcite + quartz + pyrite.
