Nevernes mt.-hem.malmfelt -------------------------------------- ligger i luftlinje 1,4 km SV for Nevernes kirke 360 m.o.h. i nordhellingen av Langfjell. Hovedforekomsten (vest for Kvernbekken), innenfor et 600 x100m stort område, består av 3 hovedmalm-lag for det meste 7-20 m tykke, men tett sammenfoldet innenfor 100 meters bredde. Strøket er overveiende N70°V med et generelt fall 40° mot sør. Selve feltet danner en 120 m bred hylle i dalsiden som er ganske myrlendt. I malmblotningene ser man både grovbladet hematittmalm og grovkornet ren magnetittmalm, og det er observert 10 cm granatfels. Man har ingen kjemiske malm-analyser, men gehalten anslås til: 35 - 40 % Fe-total og 10 % Fe-magn. Et overslag på brytbar malm i et 500 m langt og opptil 70 m dypt dagbrudd med gråberg/malm i forholdet 1/1 gir 3.9 mill. tonn ned til nivå 290. Med råmalmgehalt 37 % Fe-total og 10 % Fe-magn. er forholdet hem./mt.=73/27=2,7. Mineralogisk har forekomsten følgende sammensetning: 35,7 % hematitt, 13,8 % magnetitt, 28,8 % kvarts, 4,8 % epidot, 6,0 % kalkspat, 3,0 % kloritt, 3,2 % amfibol, 1,0 % oligoklas, 1,0 % biotitt, 1,0 % muskovitt, 1,3 % apatitt, 0,1 % granat, 0,1 % svovelkis.

Abstract:
(forkortet) The mining company A/S Rana Gruber has made extensive exploration of the iron ore deposits in Dunderlandsdalren under the leadership of mining engineer Worm Lund and. The field work comprises the following sections: Geodetic works and constructions of topographic maps. - Geology. - Exploration of the ore deposits by diamond drilling. - Exploration of the ground above the solid rocks (for foundation). The present paper gives and outline of the geology. Map 1 illustrates the main geological features of Rana. The sedimenatary rocks belong to the lower part of the sediments of the Caledonian mountain range. They are older than the fossil-bearing Sulitjelma-schists described by Th. Vogt, and are probably of lower Ordovician or Upper Cambrianage age. The most characterisitctic features in the western part of the area illustrate d in map 2 are the graeat folds in with axes striking E-W and dipping 10-20 W There are two anticlinededs seperated by syncline. The northern Bomfjell- anticline is superseded toward south by the Svanheim-syncline and this again by the Nevernes-Lasken anticline. Toward east the fold axes turn from E-W to NNE -SSW, while the pitch varies between NE and SW. The compression of the rocks is higher in the eastern parts than in the western ones.
