Mineraliseringen ligger i samme amfibolitt-øyegneissone som FI0301 Hirsajavri og Fi0300 Cabbalanjasoaivi. 10 m vest for bekken er det over 2 m mektighet i amfibolitten 4 - 5 dm-mektige rustne, kvartsbåndede magnetitt-mineraliseringer (prøve 01). Også på østsiden av bekken, inntil 10 m øst for den, finnes jernmalmhorisonter, 10 - 20 cm mektige, i en blandingssone av amfibolitt og sterkt deformert øyegneis.
