North-east of lake Raudvatnet a number of small prospects can be found. Without being specific in exactly which prospect, NGU report 2013_048 mentions the presence of 1-2 mm, bluish-green gahnite crystals and cm-sized orange prismatic zinc-bearing staurolite crystals.
The LiDAR map at hoydedata.no clearly shows some of the prospects.
The coordinates are given for a point ca. in the middle of the ore zone. The coordinates of the prospects can be derived from the map at page 39 of the report in combination with the LiDAR map.
