The Xiyu belt has a total strike of about 15°, a length of about 12 km and a width of 0.5–1 km. It is composed of 24 kimberlite bodies, of which 17 are of industrial grade and they can be divided into NNE-trending rock belt and NW-trending rock belt according to the distribution direction of the dikes. The industrial grade ranges from 204.16 mg/m3 to 24.96 mg/m3. The main lithology of the dikes is phlogopite-bearing porphyritic kimberlite. The rock mainly consists of porphyritic phlogopite kimberlite, kimberlite breccia, porphyritic magnesite kimberlite and fine-grained kimberlite.
