Mineraliseringen har utgående på et nes på østsiden av Niiberæppengåppi (vik), like ved sjøkanten. Der er det blottet en 20 m lang og 1 - 1.5 m mektig finkornig (i enkelte bånd grovkornig), skifrig, massiv magnetitt-mineralisering (prøve 01) med noe kvartsbånding. Den ligger i finkornig amfibolitt. Langs malmens liggkontakt er det lokalt kvartsutsondring med opptil 10 mm store granater. Mineraliseringen kiler ut mot NV før sjøkanten. Mot SØ forsvinner den under overdekket.
