A 5m long E-ward adit in the mineralization right down at the sea shore has been assessed. In the adit, the mineralization has a thickness of 0.7m, wedging out and disappearing in the slope above the adit, being untraceable towards E. The medium grained quartz-biotite host rock contains semi-massive pyrrhotite with some pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, magnetite, and minor molybdenite (samples 01-05). The surrounding rock is monzonite (sample 06).
