Replacement-style epithermal gold deposit, occurring in mafic volcanic rocks of the Yamansu Formation along the Kushui fault. The E-W-trending shear zone is composed of a series of mylonitized rocks. In addition, a set of NE- and NW-trending post-ore conjugate brittle faults is developed in this area. The major ore veins are located in the transition zone between intense and moderate ductile strain. Ore zones include magnetite- and sulphide-rich auriferous quartz veins and massive lenses, as well as barren quartz-carbonate or carbonate veins. The sulphide-rich veins occur either as large vein swarms or as fine stockworks in highly altered volcanic rock. The Matoutan deposit is located only 4 km east of the Kanggur deposit, and probably occurs along the same shear zone.
