| The Bømlo deposits are mesothermal gold-bearing quartz veins in shear zones in the Lykling ophiolite complex, frequently following the contacts of dolerite dykes. The veins and their chloritised and carbonatised wallrocks are characterized by the presence of coarse-grained native gold, giving spectacular hand specimens that are extracted today. Analyses of bulk samples are normally in the range of 2–5 g/t Au. A few, minor Cu-Zn and Fe-sulphide (‘vasskis’) occurrences are related to metabasalts and felsic metavolcanic rocks overlying the ophiolite complex |

| Abstract: | |
| I rapporten framlegges borlogger med analyseresultater fra diamantboringene (Pack-Sack) på Haugesundsgangen og Harald Haarfagres gang, (to av Lyklingområdets) gullførende kvarts/skiferganger. Rapporten framlegges som et tillegg til NGU-rapport nr. 1750/35A. Borkjernene viser at mineraliseringen stort sett kun er knyttet til selve kvarts/skifergangene. Følgelig er malmvolumet lavt og av begrenset økonomisk intresse. |

| Abstract: | |
| Forfatteren var sommeren 1994 engasjert av NGU for å gjøre et arbeid i Sunn- hordland i forbindelse med planlagt utgivelse av en publikasjon om Norges gullforekomster. Samtidig kunne Malmdatabasen gjøres ferdig for dette området. Rapporten beskriver resultatene av malmregistrering i Sunnhordland som om- fatter ca. 100 mineraliseringer. Disse er koordinatfestet og geologisk beskrevet. I tillegg er det gitt gruvehistoriske kommentarer av forekomstene og referanser. Resultatene fra denne rapport er innlagt i NGUs Malmdatabase. Rapporten gis av praktiske grunner ut i dansk språkform som den foreligger fra forfatter. |

| Abstract: | |
| Conclusion The Palaeozoic supracrustal rocks of the Sunnhordland area is an important metallogenic zone with gold-bearing quartz veins and massive sulfide mineralization especially Cu and Zn associated with Au and Ag. The gold mineralization in most of the quartz veins is of the mesothermal type. Wulff (1993) and Christensen (1994) concluded that most quartz veins on Bømlo are spatially related to the Sunnhordland Fault Zone (SFZ) or the Hardangerfjord Fault Zone (HFZ). The quartz veins at Vernøy and Hovdaneset is situated not far from SFZ or HFZ thus indicating a relationship. In summary this study has shown that far from all interesting mineralization has been found in the highly prospective Sunnhordland area. The most prospective areas is considered to be along SFZ and HFZ. |
