Tectonically, it belongs to the Sanjiang Block. Vapor-liquid two-phase fluid inclusions, CO2-bearing fluid inclusions, and daugh- ter-beating inclusions were identified in sulfide-rich quartz veins.

The δ^18O values of chalcopyrite- bearing quartz ranged from 4.96‰ to 5.86%0, with an average of 5.40%0. The δD values of ore-forming fluid in equilibrium with the sulfide-bearing quartz were from - 87‰ to - 107‰, with an average of - 97.86%0. These isotopic features indicate that the ore-forming fluid is a mixing fluid between magmatic fluid and meteoric water.
