Epithermal porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold-silver deposits within a small fault-bounded volcanic basin that was intruded by Jurassic granites and an extensive Cretaceous volcanic suite controlled by a major NE-trending deep fault zone. In the center of the basin, dacitic porphyry occurs as a pipe-like intrusion, which is surrounded by dacitic volcanic breccia, tuff and lava. A system of circular and radial faults and fissures around the pipe is filled with veins and hydrothermal breccias.

The ore field is 14 km long and 4 km wide and contains six major deposits as well as numerous occurrences. It straddles the border between Shanghang and Wuping counties. Proven reserves of gold, silver, copper, and molybdenum exceed 400 tons, 6000 tons, 4.1 million tons, and 0.11 million tons, respectively.

Several deposits have been discovered within the ore field, including the Zijinshan high-sulfidation (HS) epithermal Au-Cu deposit, the Longjiangting and Wuziqilong transitional Cu deposits, the Luoboling porphyry Cu-Mo deposit, the Yueyang low-sulfidation (LS) epithermal Ag-polymetallic deposit, and some transitional Cuore sections (points). This ore field represents one of China’s super-large unified porphyry-epithermal metallogenic systems.
