| Ørnehommen er en av de større gruvene i Knabenområdet og arbeidene består av flere stoller på ulike nivå (Bugge 1963). En av stollene skjærer malmsonen i Jelå-mineraliseringene. Området ble undersøkt og selskapet A/S Ørnehommens molybdengruber ble dannet i 1915. Produksjon startet året etter og fram til 1919 ble det produsert 6651 t malm med 0,2-0,23 % MoS2 som ble sendt til vaskeriet. Dette ga vel 13 t konsentrat med 70-75 % MoS2 (Holmsen 1961). Grovkornet molybdenglans mineralisering finnes i tynne pegmatittiske kvartsårer i porfyrisk granitt og disseminert i grå, kvartsrik granitt (Müller m.fl. 2015) |
