Forekomsten ligger 200 m sør for Majorplassen og det er drevet en ca. 3 m lang, 1.5 m bred og 1 m dyp grøft i nord-sør retning (020 grader). Det er en smal kvartsgang med breksjestruktur og krystaller. Det finnes kun enkelte aggregater av pyritt, ellers er det en del kullblende. Det er også røsket litt i gneisen 5 m mot øst. Bergarten her er en litt rusten kvarts-diorittisk gneis med 1-2 mm korn.
