A Cu-mineralization (Burkland Cu-mineralization), with chalcopyrite as its major ore phase, has been identified in the structural hanging wall of the Sävsjön-Burkland orebody in the eastern part of Knalla.

It is hosted by serpentine-calcite and dolomitic marble, as well as skarn. It is found at a depth between 600 and 1500 m. Its thickness varies between 5 and 60 m, the length between 100 and 180 m. In its upper part, the Cu-zone dips steeply NW with about 80° and flattens out at depth to about 45°. In the NE it is cut off by the Knalla fault.
