The Gullsteinberget and Knøsberget kyanite quartzite deposits
;Norges geologiske undersøkelse;RAPPORT;NGU-rapport; No.2006.078
Abstract:
Confidential until 01.01.2009 The kyanite quartzite occurrences of Gullsteinberget and Knøsberget in Solør were mapped, sampled and analysed in order to determine the quality and distribution of potential quartz raw material. From the field mapping three potential bodies could be identified: (1) a 50 x 20 m, NE-SW striking body ca. 100 m ESE of the Gullsteinberget top, (2) a 50 x 40 m, NE-SW striking kyanite quartzite lens in the central part of the Gullsteinberget West target area and (3) a 50 x 10 m, NE-SW striking lens at Knøsberget. The average grain size of quartz is 0.5 to 1.3 mm at Gullsteinberget East (body 1), 0.5 – 1.0 mm at Gullsteinberget West (body 2) and 0.2 to 0.4 mm at Knøsberget (body 3). On the basis of these field observations a 400-kg sample were taken from body 2 for a processing test.

Norwegian kyanite quartzites - potential resources of high purity quartz?
;Norges geologiske undersøkelse;RAPPORT;NGU-rapport; No.2005.039;70 s. pages
Abstract:
Forkortet: This study represents an evaluation of Norwegian kyanite quartzite occurrences as potential deposits of high purity quartz raw material. Kyanite quartzites are rare fine-grained with 70 to 85 vol. % quartz and > 15 vol. % kyanite (Al2SiO5) which occur in Proterozoic supracrustal rock units. Kyanite quartzites form stratiform lens-shaped bodies, which can extend several kilometers.
