Evenes-Håfjellet karbonater,
The NGU mineral database describes a number of calcite-marble deposits in the Evenes-Håfjellet area. It seems useless to list each and everyone at Mindat, since there hasn't been any mining activity in any of them, with the possible exception of the ones in the Evenestangen area, where the LIDAR map clearly shows mining features. The NGU doesn't mention active mining in this sub-area.
The NGU database includes the following deposits:
1852 - 302 : Ramstad (Minor interest)
1852 - 304 : Fjelldalsheia (Very significant)
1852 - 305 : Ramstad (Could be significant)
1853 - 302 : Evenesåsen (Could be significant)
1853 - 303 : Skardsvika (Minor interest)
1853 - 307 : Evenestanges (Could be significant)
1853 - 308 : Stuenes (Could be significant)
1854 - 317 : Hekkelstrand (Very significant)
1854 - 320 : Alfanvatnet (Could be significant)
1854 - 325 : Djupåsen (Significant)
1854 - 327 : Djupåsen prospekt (Not classified/evaluated)
1854 - 330 : Kvitbergan (Not classified/evaluated)
1913 - 306 : Tovik (Minor interest)
1913 - 309 : Sandstrand (Significant )
The NGU reports the presence of several accessory minerals, most likely only as small corns, but it might be interesting for local collectors to see if any of these can be found as crystals.
The coordinates are given for the airport, more or less a central point in this area. The other coordinates can be found in the NGU database.
NOTE october 2021:
The most recent aerial picture at kart.1881.no shows extensive construction activity near the airport, which means that fresh exposures of the rock are available.
