type of rock with mineral deposits
Området er verdenskjent. Jern og sjeldne mineraler ble skjøvet opp fra ca.100 km stort dyp i tilførselsrøret til vulkanen. Innholdet i **rødberget** er ca. 50 % jern .... Den siste istiden dekket området med marine sedimenter som stopper mye av strålingen fra de radioaktive bergartene.
At first I thought rødberget might be a place name, as it came up in short headings and captions, but I can see it is not.
Grateful for any help - I've drawn a blank!

Michele Fauble
: Technically correct, but the Norwegian doesn't use a technical term, instead referring to it as 'red rock' - a stylistic difference.

If they don't mean the mountain, but the rock, I found "Hematitic ferro-carbonate (rodberg)" in

I still think that in the particular sentence you have, they do mean a specific mountain, because rødberget is in the definite form (-et).

This is just a way of referring to the "bergart" that is reddish in color due to the high iron context.
