Some small prospect with exploration activity during 1901-06. In 1977 studied by Rana Gruber A/S.
Apart from the main locality the NGU lists:
Skjerp 1 (Prospect 1) : 68.4919600,16.8041210
Unnamed locality : 68.4848090,16.8017180
The Partlien and Skjerp 1 localities must considered to be lost due to the presence of a fenced in military installation. The unnamed locality is further to the south, but the LiDAR maps shows no mining-related features.
