Mellom Ospedalshøgda, Namdalen og Pinemyra er det flere jernmalmhorisonter tilknyttet amfibolitt. "Hovedskjerpet": (Ikke røsket.) Finkornet kvartsbåndet magnetitt-mineralisering (prøve 02) er delvis blottet og viser en antatt mektighet på rundt 20 m. Skjerp 2 ligger 150 - 200 m mot nord. Her er det prengt litt på enkelte steder. Sannsynligvis samme foldede malmhorisont som førstnevnte. Skjerp 1: Avrøsket litt av nok en malmhorisont (prøve 01). Antatt 5 - 10 m mektig. Foliasjonen er varierende pga. folding.
