Den gamle gruveveien kan følges opp fra Elistua ved Snarumselva opp til Svartfjell koboltgruve som ligger på toppen av åsen Svartfjellet. Det er her drevet to dype skjæringer over en total lengde på ca. 220 m i nord-nør retning. Den nordlige skjæringen er ca. 120 m lang, mens den sørlige er ca. 90 m lang. Det er 7-8 m langt parti mellom skjæringene hvor det ikke er drevet. Den sørligste skjæringen er den dypeste og er minst 50 m dyp i en strosse i øst. Dette er verifisert ved at en stoll går inn i skjæringen på 50 meters dyp. Den er drevet inn 125 m mot SØ og minst 50 m lenger ned en dagoverflaten ved sørenden av skjæringen. Det går også en stoll inn fra nord inn i den nordlige skjæringen. Den går inn 30 m under dagoverflaten ved nordenden av denne skjæringen. Begge disse stollene er fyrsatte. Co-Cu-As mineraliseringene finnes disseminert og i tynne striper i glimmerførende, kvartsittisk bergart og i amfibolitt, som dels er albittisert. Den mineraliserte sonen er 1-2 m bred. I nordenden av den sørlige skjæringen opptrer en gjennomskjærende pegmatittiske ganger som også fører noe molybdenglans.

Inngangen til stollen er i brattskråningen sør for dagskjæringene. Stollen har ca. retning 330º og er ca. 120 m lang. Lengst nord ender den i et ras som antagelig er tilknyttet bunnen av den sørlige dagskjæringen. To mindre tverrslag er drevet mot vest inne i stollen. Sonen følger en kvartsittisk bergart som dels er glimmerførende. Den mineraliserte sonen er opptil 2 m bred, og de rikeste sulfidmineraliseringene ser ut til å opptre i glimmerrike soner i kvartsitten.
