A mineralisation discovered 1982-83 by BP Norge A/S Minerals during prospecting for gold.
The mineralisations comprise pyrrhotite and varying amounts of sphalerite, galena and locally some arsenopyrite in quartz veins, in connection with early tourmaline/quartz-veins containing locally some molybdenite, in a tourmaline-bearing granite.
