The Tulaergen complex is a ∼ 800 m long mafic–ultramafic dyke and hosts the third largest Ni-Cu sulfide deposit (∼0.12 million tonnes Ni metal) in the Huangshan-Jingerquan metallogenic belt. It consists of lherzolite, websterite and gabbro from the center to the margin and several lenticular shaped Ni-Cu sulfide orebodies occur within the lherzolite.
