Pga. overdekke og gjengrodde røsker (4 stk.) er det ikke mulig å anslå malmarealet. Mineraliseringen er ikke blottet og prøver er tatt fra tippmaterialet (som også måtte graves fram). Finkornet massiv magnetitt veksler i bånd med en lys kalkspatmarmor. Endel muskovitt, kloritt og tremolitt opptrer også i malmen. Fra tippmaterialet ser en at de massive magnetittlag ofte har et tynt lag av muskovitt og kloritt i kontakt med sidestein. I hengen, noen meter over magnetittmineraliseringen, er det blottet glimmerskifer (prøve 04). Hovedforekomsten er to gjengrodde synker (groper) med 5m avstand. Prøve 01 er malmprøve fra tipp på dette sted.
