Confined to contacts of a dolerite sill at the Basaevo complex and a small gabbro intrusion of the Khudolaz complex with silty sandstones, tuffs and basalts of the Biyagoda formation. Judging by the compositing debris in dumps, dikes of the Ulugurtau complex widely occur at the deposit area. It is the largest deposit with an area of 66 thousand m2, hosting an abandoned mine shaft, numerous ditches and bell pits.
