Det er en mineralisert sone oppe i en bratt åsside på nordsiden av Hellerfjelltjønna. Mineraliseringen ligger innenfor en langstrakt sone av sulfid-impregnerte muskovittgneisser som strekker seg fra Stangfjellet i nord til Hellerfjellet i sør, mer enn 20 km langs strøket. Det har tidligere vært gjort undersøkelser på tre lokaliteter innen denne sonen: Stangfjellet, Rognhaugbekken og Hellerfjellet. Kartleggingen i 2008-2009 resulterte i funn av ytterligere tre mineraliseringer: Avanbekken, Hellerfjelltjønna og Stangfjellet Sør. Det er rasfarlig oppe i den stupbratte skrenten/åsen og det er derfor vanskelig å se hvor mektig sonen er. Det er rast ut en rekke blokker bestående av kvarts-sericittskifer med svak pyrittimpregnasjon og noe sinkblende og blyglans i den østlige delen. Bærbar XRF viste opptil 1.50 % Zn og 5.68 % Pb. Det ble tatt en prøve til lab-analyse og denne gav 0.28 % Zn og 0.14 % Pb. Lengst i vest kommer en opp til sonen og der er den minst 10 meter mektig. Her ble det imidlertid ikke funnet sink eller bly med bærbar XRF. Sonen har en utstrekning på mer enn 300 meter langs strøket.

Abstract:
The Mofjell project commenced in 2008 as a cooperation between GEXCO Norge AS, the county administration of Nordland and NGU. As GEXCO faced financial difficulties the external funding ended in 2009. The project area included Mofjellet and the eastern part of Plurdalen, an area with a large potential for economic sulfide deposits with Zn, Cu, Pb, Ag and Au. NGU has focused on establishing the geological setting of the Mofjell Group and its relation to ore formation. Another very important goal has been to assess the potential for economic ore deposits in the area, including enrichment of precious metals. On the basis of lithological observations and geochemistry, the Mofjell Group consists of a largely bimodal volcanic-sedimentary assemblage formed in an island-arc to back-arc setting. The data also show that the proportion of felsic volcanic rocks is much higher than previously described. A bimodal volcanic suite mixed with sediments is a geological environment which is regarded as favorable for both rich and large sulfide deposits.
