The exploration at Tuanshanbei started in the 1980s, and reserves of 12.03 t gold were initially reported during the 1990s to 2000s. Since 2009, average annual gold production from Tuanshanbei has been 1.5 t, and approximately 80 t gold is now suggested as the remaining resource in the deposit. Gold orebodies are EW-WNWโ€“, NW-, and NE-NNEโ€“striking, and several ore-bearing veins are hosted in granodiorite and are crosscut by diabase dikes. The Tuanshanbei gold mineralization is predominantly hosted within the Neoproterozoic Lengjiaxi metasedimentary rock sequence and, to a lesser degree, in the ca. 437 Ma Tuanshanbei intrusion. Two generations of gold-bearing veins at the Tuanshanbei deposit, which are also observed throughout much of the Liuyang-Liling ore field. The first-generation veins are subhorizontal to shallowly dipping and east-west to west-northwest striking, whereas the second-generation veins are moderately to steeply dipping with a northwest trend and moderately dipping with a northeast/north-northeast trend.
