Kochhammerens mineralisering er antatt å være fortsettelsen av Jenny-sonen fra Furuhaugen. En prøvestoll er drevet inn, trolig i samme tidsrom som det var prøvedrift på Furuhaugen. Stien, R. 1993. Ved prøvetaking i 1994 ble forekomsten funnet på et noe annet sted enn Stiens plassering. Ialt tre stoller er drevet inn i hammeren i forskjellige nivå, og flere hundre m3 med tippmateriale ligger under hammeren (NO0338.01). Flere cm store svovelkiskrystaller. En dagskjæring i en kvartsgang på myra ca. 100 m nord for hammeren har druserom med fine bergkrystaller samt svovel- og kopperkismineralisering. Furuhaug, L. 1994.

Abstract:
The eugeoclinal rocks of the Sulitjelma region occup a large depression in the Norwegian Caldonodrd betwwen the Nasafjell tectonic window of Precambrian rocks in the south and the Tysfjord window in the north. The age of the rocks is thought to be Cambro-Silurian. The regionl metamophism is mainly in greenschist facies in the lower units, amphibolite facies in the Gasak Nappe and greenschist to amphibolite facies in the Fauske Nappe. Some of the largest sulphide deposits in Norway are located near Sulitjelma. The different types of mineralizations occurring in the region are briefly described.
