The ore occurrence is located on the shore of the White Sea. Structurally, it is located within a narrow graben-like synclinal fold, confined to the western wing of the Primorsky anticlinorium and composed of Archean metamorphic rocks: garnet, feldspar and monomineral amphibolites interbedded with biotite-amphibole, biotite and zoisite-biotite-amphibole gneisses.
