Roma gruver består av flere undersøkelsesstoller sør og vest for Bergetjern. Hovedstollen ligger sør for tjernet og totalt ble det drevet 240 m med stoller uten at noe malm ble videre bearbeidet i perioden 1915-1918. En ca. 55 m lang stoll med retning 280° ble drevet inn under Mo-mineraliseringer i dagen uten at disse ble påvist i stollen (Holmsen 1961). Videre er det drevet stoller både mot nord og sør uten at rike mineraliseringer ble påvist. Mindre soner med disseminert molybdenglans i grå gneis og grovkornet molybdenglans tilknyttet dm-tykke, pegmatittiske kvartslinser i kontakt med slire-båndet gneis (‘tigergneis’) (Müller m.fl. 2016)

Mineralization styles and formation temperatures of the Knaben molybdenum deposits, southern Norway

Abstract:
The report documents the lithologies and molybdenite mineralization exposed in underground mines of the Knaben molybdenum (Mo) mining district in Kvinesdal, Vest-Agder, SW Norway. Scanning electron microscope cathodoluminescence (SEM-CL) and trace element analyses of quartz by laser ablation inductively coupled mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) were performed on 37 quartz and quartz-bearing samples in order to better understand the P-T conditions during magma emplacement and Mo-mineralization.

Abstract:
The ore fields and individual deposits which are mentioned in the text are shown on the map, figure 2. For those areas where the deposits lie so close together that they cannot be shown separately on this map, detail maps have been drawn on larger scales. In the descriptions there will also be found special maps covering the most important molybdenum areas. An index of the deposits which are mentioned is arranged both alphabetically and according to the numbers on the map. The majority, including the most important, of the ore deposits in Southern Norway lie within a marked zone, which is shown on the map, figure 3. At varying periods of time different metals have characterised the long zone of ore deposits: titanium in the southwest, then molybdenum in the area from Gursli to Knaben, copper and molybdenum in Telemark, silver, zinc and lead from Kongsberg eastwards, and further to the east, molybdenum again. From the map, figure 4, it can be seen that the most important groups of deposits are situated to both sides of the granite-gneiss area of the mountanious region of Southern Norway and that they lie in migmatised gneisses along the southwest side and in the schists and quartzites of the Telemark supracrustal suite along the northeast side.

Abstract:
Rapporten er ordnet i tre deler. Del 1 gir oversikt over alle mutede skjerp i området (side 4-106). Del 2 gir driftsberetninger hentet fra Norges Bergverksdrift for de skjerp hvor det har vært undersøkelsesarbeid eller regulær drift (side 107-135). Del 3 gir tittel med korte sammendrag av rapporter fra de aktuelle steder som er beskrevet (side 136-158). Side 158-176 består av kartbilag i M 1:50 000. Tittel forts.: ... Rogaland fylke.

Forekomsten ligger på nordsida av et mindre, ØNØ-VSV orientert søkk i terrenget og består av en 12 m lang dagskjæring med retning 330° som fører inn til en stoll med retning 295°. Den er vannfylt etter 10 m hvor det også er en tverrstoll. Molybdenglans finnes tilknyttet kvarts-feltspatlinser langs kontakten mellom slire-båndet gneis og porfyrisk granitt. Store blokker med molybdenglans-belegg finnes på tippen som utgjør ca. 200 kubikkmeter. Søkket fortsetter videre vestsørvestover til Jelå gruve og skyldes erosjon av en 10-20 m dolerittgang.

En mindre stollåpning er drevet 12 m mot sør på sørsida av et ØNØ-VSV orientert søkk i terrenget og ca. 35 m sør for nordre stoll. Samme type mineraliseringer med molybdenglans langs kvarts-feltspatårer finnes her. I tillegg opptrer Mo-mineraliserte årer i kontakt mot amfibolitt.
