A gold mine, located about 70 km NW of Tianlin.
Badu contains seven major orebodies with tabular shapes or veins.
The No. III to VII orebodies constitute 70% of gold resources and are mainly hosted in altered dolerites intersected by fault zones or occur along faulted contacts between dolerites and sedimentary strata. Estimated Au reserves of 35ย t
