Rocks in the Siniukhinskoe district occur within the contact aureole of the multiphase Sarakokshin granitoid massif, which has widely made the country rock hornfelsic but is not itself associated with any skarn-hosted mineralization. In the Veselyi mine area, Early Cambrian quartz porphyry and tuff intercalated with a massive limestone bed are overlain by a thick sequence of porphyritic basalts, also of Early Cambrian age.
