In southern Norway, scheelite has been found to occur in hydrothennal veins of both Precambrian and Permian age and also in contactmetasomatic deposits (Adamson and Neumann 1952). Recently, the mines and claims within the quadrangle map Kviteseid were described by Dons (1963). Scheelite was detected in four mines, three of them being hydrothennal molybdenite deposits of Precambrian age.
