Mineralizations associated with the Blåfjell-Laksedal pegmatite northeast of Laksedalsvatnet. At Laksedal a number of massive mineralizations have been exploited and a 75 m deep adit was made around 1910. The main field consists of 3 or 4 interconnected oxide lenses striking east-west for about 150 m. The thickness of the lenses is on the order of 6-8 m.
