The Rieppe deposit is situated about 8 km south of the Vaddas deposit. The mineralisation has an along-strike extent in outcrop of about 2 km. The deposit is within the the same greenstone unit as Vaddas, but at a lower level. The deposit is strongly tectonised, containing fragments of greenschist commonly altered to talc. The mineralisation consists of pyrrhotite with varying amounts of chalcopyrite and sphalerite, whereas pyrite is generally an accessory phase. The strong deformation leads to a very large variation in metal content and ore thickness (2–20 m). The Rieppe deposit contains an identified resource of 3 Mt at 0.5 % Cu and 2 % Zn (at 0.2 % Cu cut-off). Below the main zone, there is an additional probable resource of 1 Mt with 0.4 % Cu. The silver content in the copper concentrate is 48 g/t. Flotation tests have shown that also talc may be exploited from the deposit. |

The geology of the Vaddas area, Troms: a key to our understanding of the Upper Allochthon in the Caldonides of northern Norway |
;Norges geologiske undersøkelse;ARTIKKEL;NGU Bulletin; No.445;s.5-43 pages |
Abstract: | |
The Vaddas area in the North Norwegian Caledonides is underlain by the Corrovarri Nappe, the uppermost unit of the Kalak Nappe Complex, and the overlying Vaddas Nappe representing the lowermost unit of the Reisa Nappe Complex. Both nappes form part of the Upper Allochthon. Only the upper part of the Corrovarri Nappe, the Nahpojohka Group, which at c.580 Ma was intruded by a rift-type, intracratonic to marginal basin, dolerite dyke swarm and related gabbro source rocks, has been studied in detail. It is proposed that the rocks of the Corrovarri Nappe were deformed during a poorly understood Finnmarkian tectonometamorphic phase, involving subduction and exhumation at around 500 Ma, and were part of the margin of the Baltican continent. The Corrovarri Nappe served as basement for the overlying stratigraphic sequence of the Vaddas Nappe, although the contact now represents a major tectonic break. (Forkortet) |

Rieppevarre malmforekomst, Skjervøy Herred. |
;Norges geologiske undersøkelse;FAGRAPPORT;Bergarkivet; No.BA 3787;37 pages |
Abstract: | |
Rapporten omhandler forekomstene i Vaddas-Rieppe feltet generelt med mest vekt lagt på Rieppevarre forekomsten. Sammenstillingen er basert på de tidligere undersøkelsene som er gjort i feltet uten at disse er referert i teksten eller som referansekilde. Det er gitt en forenklet lokalisering av borhull i Rieppe og en forenkling av analysene fra malmskjøringene gjennom forekomsten med angitte gehalter av Cu, Zn, S Fe. Det er også satt sammen et geologisk kart over Rieppe-området i målestokk 1:10 000. Det konkluderes med at mulighetene for økonomiske forekomster i feltet er gode. |

Abstract: | |
En beskrivelse av forekomsten i Vaddasfeltet og kommenterer dette som et av de store kisfeltene i landet. Forekomster som beskrives er Vaddas, Grytlia (stoll 1), Loftani, Nomilolgi, Rieppe, Jiek`kejav`ri (Rieppevand) og Laukavarre. I Vaddas-forekomsten ser en store muligheter for tonnasjer. Alle forekomstene opptrer innen 15 km. langs strøket. Vaddas-forekomsten har 3 mill. tonn over dalbunn-nivå. Store muligheter i feltet. |

Geofysiske undersøkelser Vaddas gr./Loftani - Rieppis |
;Norges geologiske undersøkelse;FAGRAPPORT;NGU-rapport; No.139;18 pages |
Abstract: | |
Det skulle foretas geofysiske undersøkelser over aktuelle partier i strøket Loftani - Rieppis for kartlegging av eventuelle malmsoner. Målingene foregikk i fortsettelsen mot syd av feltet som i 1953 ble målt i området Grytlien - Loftani (GM Rapport nr. 108). Geolog Johs Færden anviste feltet i marken. Feltet er kartlagt geologisk av professor Th. Vogt. Malmen består hovedsakelig av magnetkis med noe kobberkis og svovelkis og opptrer i tynne soner konform skifrigheten. Det ble utført el.magn.kond. målinger (Turam) i et 7,5 km langt felt (arel ca. 5 km2). Ved målingene ble det påvist en rekke ledende soner av vekslende utstrekning, sammenheng og dyp. Dels korresponderer sonene med tidligere kjente malmganger, dels opptrer de som tidligere ikke iaktatte paraleller. Sonene gir tildels sterke indikasjoner. I rapporten foreslås orienterende boringer på de mest lovende soner. Det påpekes i rapporten at meget lange soner kan gi sterke el. magn. indikasjoner uten at det foreligger malmmektigheter av betydning. |

Abstract: | |
En beskrivelse av de tre nevnte forekomstene i Rieppeområdet. (Rieppevand = Jiek`kejav`ri.) Beskrivelsen er vedlagt geologiske skisser med beskrivelse av klorittskifer i malmsonen. Beskrivelsene er gjort i utskilte skjerpegrøfter. Dårlig trykk i deler av rapporten. |
