Sulphide-bearing hydrothermal quartz veins mined for Cu.
Ronald Werner commentary 2018-03-09:
Studying the topgraphical and altitude maps, there are, in an almost straight line from the Moberg mine in NW direction dozens of prospects. Here are some of the largest:
59.31715°N 7.88573°E
59.31605°N 7.88565°E
59.31541°N 7.88494°E
59.31403°N 7.88561°E
59.31232°N 7.88074°E
59.3111°N 7.87776°E
Even though they show clearly on the altitude map, there is no guarantee they will be easy to find back.
