Several prospects for sulphide mineralisations (mainly galena and sphalerite) hosted by quartz veins.

Located along a small ridge in the forest which can be reached via a north-bound foot-track starting from Minneåsenvegen road, shortly before it hits the Feiringvegen road.
Dumps with rocks close to a small pathway in the big forest west of Byrud Emerald Mines.
