Relativt rik finkornig kvartsbåndet magnetitt-mineralisering (prøve 01) er blottet ett sted 30 m sør for et lite vann, og vest for vann 150 m.o.h. Den er steiltstående med retning ØNØ-VSV, mens regionalt i området stryker bergartene ca. 270°/60°. Det er kompassutslag over et større overdekt område rundt mineraliseringen. Enten er malmhorisonten komplekst foldet, eller det opptrer flere parallellsoner. I blotninger i området rundt mineraliseringen er det mest lys, finkornig gneis og noe amfibolitt, samt middels- til grovkornig gabbro i en blotning.
