This locality consist of an inclinded pit with a 70m3 dump. In the rock face near the pit, a 2m wide rusty, quartz-rich, amphibole-bearing gneiss can be seen. On both sides of this band are a biotite bearing amphibole gneiss with thin (2cm) quartzite bands. The ore consist of coarsly grained aggregates of galena with more fine grained chalkopyrite and sphalerite in association with quartz, carbonate-fluorite veins.
