Røssalikollen hematitt-magnetittmalm 390 m.o.h. Malmen er en grovblandet og meget finkornet bladet 1-3m tykk hematittmalm. Sørvestover er det i hematittmalmhengen 2-3m tykk magnetittmalm. Denne malmen kan følges 150m i strøkretningen. 500m ØNØ, 450 m.o.h.(UTM 585900-7603150) er en bekkeblotning med 0.6m tykk magnetittmalm. Tonnasjen er liten: Tykkelse 2m, lengde 160m, dyp langs malmfall 50m med spes.v. 3.2 gir 51.200 tonn. Det er boret 1 hull på 61m, derav 3m i malm. Boringen antas utført i 1912. 3 kjemiske analyser (Norsk Jernverk lab 1977) viser: Fe tot. Fe magn.
