Forekomsten ligger i en skjæring i en skogsbilvei rett ovenfor jernbanebrua ved Fossland, 2,5 km fra Grong sentrum, kote 140. Mineraliseringen kan følges over 20 m i vegskjæringen og videre i vertikalretning i den bratte fjellveggen. Den består av svovelkis i massive bånd som er foldet og massiv til disseminert magnetkis i skifrig amfibolitt som er en slags sidebergart. Overgang til kvartskeratofyr sees i skjæringene mot nord. En dm-bred kvartsgang er noe sulfidmineralisert. Mineraliseringens orientering er ikke registrert. Tidligere skjerpearbeid antas å være tildekket av nyere vegfylling.

Abstract:

Ore occurences of the Grong area: In the period 1910-1918 a great number of ore occurences were discovered in the Grong area. The late state geologist Steinar Foslie mapped the area in the years 1922-1931. Foslie also mapped all claims and occurences and made special field investigations in a few cases. This book presents a survey of all occurences chiefly based on the field observations of Foslie. In addition the present author has done some field work in connection with the three large deposits, Joma, Skorovass, and Gjersvik. The map, Plate 1, shows the areal geology and the location of the occurrences, numbered from 1 to 131. the ore of the occurrences is chiefly pyrite. The larger occurrences also contain some chalcopyrite and sphalerite etc. and the smaller occurrences contain ither pure pyrite with some magnetite. The Joma deposit (No. 1), contains about 15.5 mill. tons of ore. The ore zone forms an arc and is situated within a thick series of greenstones (Fig. 1). The Skorovass mine (No. 2), contains about 7,5 mill. tons of ore. The deposit is situated in a greenstone complex (Fig. 7), and is immediately surrounded by asid tuffs of quartz keratophyric composition (Table 1).
