Cu, Zn and U- deposits located about 5 km north of Kopparåsen's railway station along Malmbanan (Kiruna-Narvik ore transport railway).
Four different mineralisations occur;
1) Magnetite,chalcopyrite, bornite and pyrite in metalavas.
2) Pyrite mineralisation in banded metatuffs with minor pyrrhotite and uraninite
3) Pyrrhotite associated with graphitic schists containing minor amounts of cpy, uraninite,ZnS,FeAsS and pyrite.
4. Metatuffites with pyrrhotite, ZnS,PbS, cpy and FeAsS.
