Galåa skjerp består av en 7x4 m vannfylt synk i kanten av en myr, ikke langt fra hytteområde. Lengste akse er nord-sør. Det er ca. 300 kbm materiale på tippen. Det er igen blotninger av malmsonen langs synken eller i området forøvrig. Mineralisering sees i en ca. 10 kbm stor haug på tippen og består av slirer av kobberkis og magnetkis, typisk mm-cm tykke i kvartsrike soner. Ellers er det en del kloritt-sericittrike skifre på tipphaugen. Det er en rekke gamle skiferbrudd ellers i området.

Liten vannfylt grop/grøft, 6x1.5 m ca. 20 m mot sør for hovedskjerpet. Det er også et lite vannfylt hull 3 m videre mot sør. På den ubetydelige tippen er det litt rusten sericittisk skifer, samt noen små bite med kobberkis sammen med kvarts.
