Over a distance of ca. 520 m ca. 14 prospects can be seen at the LiDAR map, from 68.32605,16.54596 to 68.32375,16.55713. And a possble outlier at 68.32377,16.55145.
The NGU has analyzed samples of 5 individual prospects, but refer to 23 prospects in their online datasheets. The NGU coordinates do not seem to point to a mining related freature.
In the Svend Pedersen collection these localities are represented by a weakly magnetic piece of massive pyrrhotite with dissiminated corns of feldspar(?).
These are the five prospect from which samples have been analyzed. None of these corresponds with the largest prospects visible on the LiDAR map:
