Hovedmalmen ligger i en ca. 700m lang og opptil 10-12m tykk svart hornblende-amfibolitt. Øst for Finnset-hølet er det sett 0,5m tykk malm, og i Kvernbekken-Finnsetbakken 2-5 m tykk magnetittimpregnasjon. En prøve fra hver av disse lokalitetene er analysert ved Norsk Jernverks lab. 1973: Sett tykkelse Fe-tot. Fe-magn.
