The mine consists of a narrow, generally around 5 m wide. open pit that follow the ore zone for a length of about 150 m southwards. The deepest deepest part is in the north end with 8-10 m depth. Central in the pit is a refilled inclined shaft towards NW. Coordinates is located to the northern end of the pit. From the southern end runs an adit that is at least 20 m long.
