Forekomsten er beskrevet bl.a. av prof. Th. Vogt, og prøvetatt bl.a. i 1949. Analyser i Sulitjelma Bergverk rapport nr. 533 200 001. Sonen består av kisimpregnasjon i serisittskifer. Utgående påvist i ca. 100 m lengde. Trolig samme stratigrafiske nivå som Jervasforekomsten i Sverige og Kong Oscar-sonen. Stien, R. 1993. Det finnes intet skjerp eller andre synlige arbeider utført på denne mineraliseringen. Det er vanskelig å se synlig kismineralisering, men en sone på 3-5 m mektighet i serisittskifer i vannkanten ved Balvatnet er kraftig rusten. Furuhaug, L. 1994.
