Det er noe usikkerhet rundt dette skjerpet. Det er rapportert hos Oftedahl (1958), skjerp 48, men Grong Gruber A/S har ikke gjenfunnet det. Forekomsten skal ligge ca. 1 km NV for Setervik ved Tunnsjøen, og 200-500 m SSV for Seterviktjern. Det skal være skjerpet på en 1 m mektig kissone, rik på magnetkis. Den ligger i grønnstein. Grong Gruber A/S har påvist en kissone som består av svovelkis- og magnetitt-disseminasjon, og det er usikkert hvorvidt dette er den omtalte forekomsten. I tilfelle er magnetkis blitt forvekslet med magnetitt. En mulighet er også at skjerpet ligger i forlengelsen av Hausvikforekomsten.

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).
