The Shinyemi skarn deposit occurs in lower Paleozoic limestone close to Mesozoic felsic intrusives in the Taebaegsan area. Phlogopite occurring in the zinc-lead orebody is dated at 75 Ma. Thus the mineralization is related to the late Cretaceous Bulgugsa magmatic activity. The age is close to that of the No.2 Yeonhwa zinclead deposit, but slightly younger than the age of the Sangdong tungsten deposit.
