Mineraliseringen har utgående i underkanten av et stup, 175 m.o.h., øst for Brannsletta, og vises som en 3 m mektig rustsone. Grovkornig massiv (lite foliert) amfibolitt, alternerende med finkornige partier, med noe granat og endel kvartsbånd, inneholder semimassiv til disseminasjon av magnetitt og litt svovelkis (svovelkis også på hårtynne sprekker) (prøve 01).
