System of short NW-SE trending hydrothermal quartz-carbonate veins with cinnabar as a main ore mineral. Ore mineralization is developed at the contact of amphibolites and strongly hydrothermally altered serpentinites (fuchsite-rich listvenites) of the Lower Paleozoic Klátov group and was explored by several shallow pits.
