Sinklia-mineraliseringen er begrenset til en dolomittmarmorliste som ligger i den mektige karbonatenhet i Håfjellets sydøstlige helling ovenfor Ballangen sentrum. Malmmineralene er sinkblende og svovelkis og mengdeforholdet mellom disse varierer mye.Hovedforekomsten i NØ - enden av dolomittmarmorlinsa er et nedlagt gruveområde som består av en stoll, tre slepesynker og flere tipper (for skisse over området, se NGU nr. 142). Slepesynken følger mineraliseringens fall. Mineraliseringen består av en linse av massiv svovelkis, som kan minne noe om vasskis. Denne type malm er kun funnet her i gruveområdet. Både i liggen og hengen til den massive kisen har vi sinkblendemineralisering i bånd og breksjestruktur. Utenfor gruveområdet finnes ca. 24 skjerp og grøftinger av varierende størrelse. Disse fordeler seg langs hele strøket. Mineraliseringen varierer mye fra meget fattig impregnasjon til god, nesten massiv sinkblendemalm. Særlig sinkblendemineraliseringen i breksjestruktur viser at mineraliseringen er utsatt for deformasjon. Forekomsten er for liten til å være av økonomisk interesse. Terrenget er for det meste åpent, det finnes flere stier i området og velforeningen "Håfjellets Venner" eier en flott hytte i området som er åpen for alle.

	Abstract:
	Malmen i Sinklien består av en massiv svovelkis-sinkblende linse, som ligger konkordant med sideberget i en Mg-fattig sone på overgangen mellom kalkspattmarmor og dolomitt. Det er kjent flere andre små sulfidanrikninger i dolomitten, men det er ingen sammenhengende mineralisering. Malmens opprinnelse er usikker, men det er sannsynligvis en syngenetisk stratiform malm.

Abstract:

The present paper continues the description of zinc-, and lead deposits in Northern Norway, including Nordland, Troms and Finnmark counties. The writer formerly described the zinc- and lead deposits of Helgeland, which is the southern part of Nordland county. In this paper is given a description of the remaining deposits of Northern Norway. Of these the most important are found in Ofoten, the north-eastern region of Nordland county. A few deposits of less importance belong to the Beiarn district in Nordland, a few are located in the counties Troms and Finnmark. In Ofoten the zinc- and lead deposits occur partly within the Archean area, partly within the area of the metamorphosed sediments of the Caledonian mountain range of Cambro-Silurian age. In the Archean area the ores are somtimes found in gabbroidic rocks, partly on fahlbands with pyrrhotite as the predominating ore mineral, partly on veins in or near the fahlbands, sometimes they occur on veins bedded in a biotite schist rich in quartz. The ore deposits connected to the metamorphosed sediments of the mountain range both mineralogically bear a close resemblance to the zinc- and lead deposits of Helgeland, formerly described by the author.
