Large concrete slabs ( 3x2.5m and 4x2m respectively) cover the two shafts that, together with the 250m3 dump, are the only remains of these mines today.
The Linderot mines is considered part of a regional ( together with the Hopkins mine, and the Raumyr and Teigemyr areas) hydrothermal system dominated by quartz-chlorite-pyrite. Minor pyrite and chalkopyrite can be found on the dump, associated with chlorite.
