| Arealet er basert på overflatekartlegging og oversiktskartet som er presentert hos Priesemann og Krause (1985). For informasjon ellers, se Selvåg-forekomsten, hvis utstrekning utgjøres av mere detaljerte undersøkelser og malmberegninger utført av Elkem a/S på 1980-tallet. |

| Abstract: | |
| The Selvåg Fe-Ti-V deposit is hosted by the Eidet-Hovden layered intrusion situated within the Precambrian Lofoten-Vesterålen province. The igneous complex is of olivine-tholeiitic affinity and shows a strong iron-enrichment trend. The deposit lies within the upper ore horizon (UZc) of the layered series. Faulting has resulted in two separate heterogenous ore bodies characterized by strong modal layering. The ore consists of titanomagnetite with ulvøspinel and ilmenite lamellae, ilmenite and sulphides. The mode of titanomagnetic relative to ilmenite show little variation in their compositions. The northern ore body contains the most valuable ore reserves with 44 Mt probable ore with about 25 wt.% V. The southern lens is of minor economic importance. |
