The Stormo IF is completely enclosed within Nilsfjellet quartz diorite. Thin bands and dissemination of magnetite are found in calcareous epidote-amphibole rock in a few minor outcrops (Samples JS_FE1736-37). The thickness of the IF is assumed to be around 20 m although the contacts to the wall-rocks is not observed. Only a few scattered outcrops of the quartz diorite occurs in the surrounding area.

Abstract:
Lok. Nr. 40455. 40456, 40458, 40460. Malmsonene ligger i sedimentære bergarter med bl.a kalksteiner og er sterkt presset og foldet. Mineraliseringen opptrer i hovedsak som magnetitt med noe hematitt og all malm er oppredningsmalm. Følgende undersøkelsesarbeider er gjort: - Systematisk magnetometriske undersøkelse. - Topografisk kartlegging i M 1:1000, 1:2000, og 1:4000. - Nivellement i jernfeltene. - Avdekking-, overskjærings- og sprengningsarbeider - Prøvetaking av malm - Anbringelse av jernbolter - Malmberegninger og driftsoverslag.
