A report from the Norges Geologiske Undersøkelse (NGU) describes a locality so far overseen.
State geologist Jens Hysinggjord visited this locality in 1965.
Why Hysingjord uses the name "Knipanheia I" for this locality is difficult to understand, while the area by that name starts several 100 m north of this locality.
On his map he calls this area Knipansfjell.
He describes the pegmatite as a minor dyke with a visible length of 20 m, a strike of 340º and a NE fall of about 50º.
He reports the presence of large masses of quartz, nice feldspar crystals/masses, euxenite and thortveitite.
There seems not to have been any regular mining, so it is considered to be a prospect.
Thanks to his map it is possible to give approximate coordinates, but they will need field confirmation.
