First time registered 1899. The southern part of the Nuovas gabbro is impregnated with sulphide at several locations, like here N of Pavelsnes. The two main pits 4-5 apart have produced some 2m3 on a ridge 225m above sea level. The gabbro is strongly weathered with a rusty and pitted surface, and seems locally tectonically domed. The entire exposed 10-15m of the ridge reveals traces to richly disseminated pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and Pentlandite. The mineralized part is exposed in an EW stretch of over 50m. The sulphides seems to be enriched in an EW running string or band. The gabbro itself is either banded or layered, with alternating coarser and finer grained bands. Disseminated pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pentlandite mineralization is fine to coarse grained and occurs both in medium to coarse grained gabbro (sample 03), as well as in particular in quartz-feldspar rich bands (sample 01,02). The lower pit in the N exposes a coarse grained pegmatite (quartz, K-feldspar, muscovite, biotite) with unknown extension. Also in the little lower situated parallel ridge 30-40m N (mineralization 1), pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pentlandite impregnated gabbro is exposed, locally with semi-massive ore (sample 04). (An EW-going creek runs just in front of this ridge.) About 700m ESE, at 250m a.s.l., mineralization 2, a number of outcrops occur in a covered slope on the north side of a hill, just near a creek. Here, a medium grained gabbro with pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, pentlandite dissemination occurs (sample 05).

	Abstract:
	I 1961 ble det bestemt å iverksette regionale malmundersøkelser over kyststrøket Vest-Finnmark - Nord-Troms. Som ledd i dette program søker en å lokalisere de malmforekomster og mineraliserte soner som måtte finnes i distriktet og på denne måte få avgrenset områder for mer detaljerte undersøkelser. Listen omfatter 180 anmeldinger av i alt 427 punkter.

Også i den litt lavereliggende, parallelle fjellryggen 30-40 m mot nord (mineralisering 1) er det blottet magnetkis-kobberkis-pentlanditt-impregnert gabbro, lokalt med semimassive partier (04). (Det renner en Ø-V-gående bekk rett nord for denne ryggen.)

Ca. 700 m mot ØSØ, 250 m.o.h.,mineralisering 2, er det enkelte blotninger i en overdekket skråning på nordsiden av en kolle, like ved en bekk. Her er det middelskornet gabbro med magnetkis-kobberkis-pentlanditt-disseminasjon (05).
