Ca. 700 m NØ for Namdalen opptrer to parallelle malmhorisonter bestående av malm av Bjørnevannstype (vel 30 % Fe magn.) i glimmergneis. Den sørligste er avblottet med noen grunne røskegrøfter på toppen av en kolle. Malmen er den vanlige, finkornig og kvartsbåndet. Mektigheten synes å ligge rundt 5 - 6 m (dårlig blottet).
