Mt-malmen ved Murdalen nord for Seljeskogen er bare 0,5 m tykk og ligger i granat-biotitt-kvartsglimmerskifer med amfibolitt- og marmor-lag. Mineraliseringen kan følges noe i strøkretningen (veiskjæring opp til Billassula-Finnhaugen).

Abstract:
Rapporten er et svarbrev fra statsgeolog Arth. O Poulsen til Fylkesarbeidskontoret i Troms angående situasjonen ved det da nedlagte Salangsverket (jernmalmgruver med oppredningsverk). Av brevet framgår at Fylkeskartkontoret vil vite om undersøkelser/ kartleging av malmforekomstene ved verket kan utføres, men dette blir frarådet av statsgeolog Poulsen inntil savnet arkivmateriale (særlig karter) fra driftstiden er fremskaffet og vurdert.
