Explanation:
Was going to agree, but couldn't answer the question why 'ore deposit' was so easy to find but 'malmuppslag' was not.

I found the text you referred to -- Lappland Goldminers -- and that refers to finding the presence of the ore, but not a 'deposit' as defined (http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/431620/ore-deposit...

These terms seem to fit the context you gave -- a general find of the presence of ore without quantifying the economic value of it. Suggest you start here, and find what fits your context. Enjoy!
