Description
Fra Orlihaugen kan en 0,6 m tykk mt-malm følges 320 m VSV-over. Lokalt er mektigheten 1-2 m, maksimalt 5 m. Tonnasje ned til 50 m dyp på den 200 m lange og 2 m mektige linsa blir med sp.v. 3,2: 15360 t. 100 m S for Orlihaugen, like syd for Østre Orlimyr, er en 70 m lang røskegrøft på tvers av strøkretningen med 7 stk. 0,6-2 m mektige mt-malmlag i en 80 m bred amfibolittrik sone som strekker seg ØNØ-over mot Røssliakollen. Det er boret 3 hull på tilsammen 157,2 m , derav 20 m i malm, i Orlihaugen. Boringen antas utført i 1912.
