Tidsrom for undersøkelser og prøvedrift er antatt siden det vesentlige av dokumentasjonen mangler. Borhull merket "Saaki 131" er lagret på kjernelager i Sulitjelma. Ingen analyser fra boring eller annen prøvetaking er funnet. Stien, R. 1993.

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.
