Minst 7 borhull finnes innenfor et begrenset område hvor Sal'ganjåkka og Miel'kejåkka renner sammen, 3.3 km SV for Suoluvuobmi Fjellstue. Ei mindre røskegrøft (3x0.5 m) finnes. Bergartene i området er tilnærmet flattliggende. Nederst opptrer minimum 0.5 m mektig svartskifer med varierende magnetkis og kobberkis mineralisering. Sulfidene danner årenettverk, breksjemalm og tynne laminer. Få kvartsganger (5-10 cm brede) med litt sulfid finnes også. Over svartskiferen følger middelskornet kvarts- og svovelkis-rik bergart som kan representere omdannet chert. Den er også ca. 0.5 m mektig og overlagres av fin- til middelskornet, homogen amfibolitt med noe disseminasjon av magnetkis nederst.
