The host rocks are represented by Upper Permian sandstones and, more rarely, siltstones. Mineralization is localized in five fault zones (Severnaya, Promezhutochnaya, Centralnaya, Yuzhnaya and Zimnyaya, length up to 1400 m) with concordant and cross quartz veins 0.1–5 m thick in the crest of the Dvoinaya anticline. Ore zones with a thickness of up to 32 m dip S-W, S and S-E at 30–50° to 70–80°. The reserves exceed 11 tons of gold with an average grade of 11.2 g/t Au.
