Bergedalsmalmen er 1,6 km lang fra Sagelva i vest til Bergedalsrabban i øst. Malmblotningene er best i de østre 600m strøklengde i den bratte nordskrenten til Bergedalsrabban. De vestre 800m strøklengde er malmen oppgitt til å være 20m bred i dagen, men tykkelsen er som vist nedenfor: Malm- Malmareal i profilet tykkelse 60m ned langs malmfallet M.o.h. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Profil 0 Sagelva 6m 360m2 140 Profil 160 Harahølet 13m 780m2 150 Profil 260 5m 300m2 150 Profil 360 Tørrbekken 10m 600m2 155 Profil 720 NØ f.
