In connection with prospecting for zinc/lead ores, minor zones of wollastonite were found. The NGU report mentions the presence of a shaft at the given coordinates, but this cannot be confirmed by the LiDAR map at hoydedata.no. On the dumps boulders with 20 cm thick bands with up to 30% wollastonite were observed. The coordinates also don't correspond with any of the Langkilen Zinc Prospects.
