Mineraliseringen ligger i en liten bekk ca. 500 m sør for elva fra Bjørkvatnet, og ca. 500 m fra dennes utløp fra vannet, i sørkant av myrdrag ved kote 520. Fire små skjerp langs den samme sonen over en lengde på 250 m er registrert av Grongprosjektet i 1969 (Logn 1971). Mineraliseringen er en båndet jernformasjon som består av vekslende oksid- og sulfidfacies. Massiv, finkornet magnetitt i lag som er mindre enn 1 m mektig med varierende mengder disseminert pyritt, dels pyritt i striper, dominerer. I forekomstlokaliteten finnes også en få dm-mektig semi-massiv pyritt sone. Varierende mengde disseminert pyritt finnes også i omvandlet, bleket grønnstein langs denne sonen. Magnetittførende chert, blåkvarts, er også observert. Jernformasjonen ligger tektonostratigrafisk under mørk, Fe-Ti rik grønnstein og over lys grønnstein. Jernformasjonen opptrer trolig på samme stratigrafiske nivå som andre jernformasjoner øst og nord for Bjørkvatnet. Porfyriske ganger som er tilknyttet en større granodioritt på Sæterlifjellet i sør gjennomskjærer jernformasjon.

Abstract:
Ore occurences of the Grong area: In the period 1910-1918 a great number of ore occurences were discovered in the Grong area. The late state geologist Steinar Foslie mapped the area in the years 1922-1931. Foslie also mapped all claims and occurences and made special field investigations in a few cases. This book presents a survey of all occurences chiefly based on the field observations of Foslie. In addition the present author has done some field work in connection with the three large deposits, Joma, Skorovass, and Gjersvik. The map, Plate 1, shows the areal geology and the location of the occurrences, numbered from 1 to 131. the ore of the occurrences is chiefly pyrite. The larger occurrences also contain some chalcopyrite and sphalerite etc. and the smaller occurrences contain ither pure pyrite with some magnetite. The Joma deposit (No. 1), contains about 15.5 mill. tons of ore. The ore zone forms an arc and is situated within a thick series of greenstones (Fig. 1). The Skorovass mine (No. 2), contains about 7,5 mill. tons of ore. The deposit is situated in a greenstone complex (Fig. 7), and is immediately surrounded by asid tuffs of quartz keratophyric composition (Table 1).

Ved en liten bekk er en 30-50 cm mektig sone med finkornet, massiv, svovelkis blottet. Tektonostratigrafisk over denne finnes mørk grønnstein. Foliasjonen i grønnsteinen gjennomsettes av 5-10 cm tynne kvartsporfyr ganger, men det er ikke mulig å se om de også gjennomsetter sulfidsona.

Ved en mindre bekkefoss ligger et lite skjerp. Tektonostratigrafisk øverst finnes mørk, jern-titan rik grønnstein. Den ligger over en 40-50 cm mektig sone med finkornet, massiv svovelkis som fører få cm brede magnetitt bånd nederst. Jernformasjonen ligger over en lys, kalkrik grønnstein.
