Denne forekomsten, som ligger 155m.o.h., er ikke funnet omtalt i de mange gamle rapporter fra Ringvassøy. Det kan muligens dreie seg om den som er kalt Vatnan. Mineraliseringen er undersøkt med en 12m lang stoll mot V. Malmsonen er 10-30cm mektig finkornet massiv svovelkis (vasskis)(prøve 01) i finlaminert, hvit keratofyr, som nær massivmalmen har mm-bånd og disseminasjon av svovelkis og magnetkis. Det er enkelte mm- til cm-mektige keratofyrlag i massivmalmen. Foliasjonen varierer noe - ca. 220/20.
