Malmuppslag är oftast svåra att hitta och i regel krävs det en långsiktig och systematisk prospektering där kunniga personer inom geologi, geofysik och geokemi.
Is it an ore deposit, an accumulation or something else please?

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!
