The bulk of the mineralization at the Polyarnoe deposit is localized in the apical part of the stock of intensely greisenized Li-bearing microcline–albite granite porphyry. The structure of the deposit is characterized by a quartz lens in the center and concentrically arranged quartz veins, lenses, and quartz–topaz–mica greisens.
Quartz veins and lenses have a flat dip; their thickness is up to 3 m, and their length is up to 250 m. Greisens form flat-lying or horizontal, isometric, or slightly elongated bodies up to 25–50 m thick. The predicted ore potential of the deposit is (in thousand tons): Sn—93.8, Li2O—117.5, Ta2O5—2.3, and Nb2O5—6.1.
