Mineraliseringene finnes i rustfargete veiskjæringer langs veien mellom Tunnsjøen og Tunnsjø-Røyrvik, 500 m nordvest for gården Furutangvika. Mineraliseringen består av en 4 m mektig sone med varierende sulfiddisseminasjon i grønnskifer og kvartskeratofyr. Sonen kan følges 30-40 m langs strøket før den forsvinner i overdekke. Den rikeste mineraliseringen finnes i få cm brede semi-massive svovelkis bånd i finkornet kvarts-feltspat rik bergart. Denne kan representere kvartskeratofyr eller sterkt omvandlet grønnstein.

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).
