Description
Mineraliseringen har utgående 25 m nord for et høydepunkt (1013 m.o.h.), og er undersøkt med et lite skjerp (5 m3 tipp). Det er ikke kjent når skjerping har foregått. I 1985 utførte Folldal Verk A/S elektromagnetiske (Turam) målinger over mineraliseringen. I tildels klorittisert, fin- til middelskornig og karbonatholdig amfibolskifer er det i skjerpet en 2.5 m mektig rustsone, bestående av grov- til middelskornig, lite foliert amfibolitt med magnetkis-disseminasjon og spor av svovelkis og kobberkis. Svovelkis og kobberkis opptrer overveiende langs kontaktene til få-cm-mektige kvartslinser. I rustsonen er det også et par dm-mektige lag av klorittisert amfibolskifer. I bunnen av rustsonen er det 20 cm massiv, finkornig magnetkis-mineralisering. Mineraliseringen kan pga. overdekning ikke følges i strøkretningen.

Abstract:
Within the southern and central parts of the Trondheim region of the Norwegian Caledonides a great number of small, stratabound cupriferous pyrite deposits are confined to mafic metavolcanics of the Gula, Støren and Fundsjø Groups of the Lower Palaeozoic succession. The deposits occuring within, or in close contact with the metavolcanics are characterized by their association with minor manganiferous oxide/silicate iron-formations - better known as "vasskis" ore type - within the metamorphic low-grade areas. The iron-fprmations of the metamorphic higher grade terrains on the other hand, which are extensively developed within the Gula Group, are mostly of a pyrrhotitic sulphide/silicate type and sulphurization processes are thought to have played an important role during the metamorphism. The pyrite deposits occurring adjacent to the metavolcanics bear no relationship to the iron-formations. They are embedded in pelitic, often carbonaceous assemblages (Gula Group) or within tuffitic members of the volcanogene Støren Group, and they are thought to represent re-sedimented (reworked) deposits. The pyrite deposits display varying degree of metamorphic reconstitution and a tectonic control has apparently determined their disc- or ruler-shaped morphology.
