Forekomsten ligger om lag 1300 m sør for Anna gruve, i malmsonen. Påvist av prof. Th. Vogt, hvor han anbefaler diamantboringer. Det er røsket i utgående, men analyser er ikke funnet. Sonen består av ca. 0.8 m ren malm og impregnasjon over og under renmalmen, total mektighet 2.5 m. Utgående påvist i ca. 130 m lengde. Ingen ytterligere informasjon påvist. Stien, R. 1993. Stiens koordinater er også her unøyaktige, men finner omsider forekomsten i en bekk (NO0374.01). Finner også et annet ubetydelig skjerp i nærheten som prøvetas (NO0374.02). Furuhaug, L. 1994.

Abstract:
The eugeoclinal rocks of the Sulitjelma region occup a large depression in the Norwegian Caldonodrd betwwen the Nasafjell tectonic window of Precambrian rocks in the south and the Tysfjord window in the north. The age of the rocks is thought to be Cambro-Silurian. The regionl metamophism is mainly in greenschist facies in the lower units, amphibolite facies in the Gasak Nappe and greenschist to amphibolite facies in the Fauske Nappe. Some of the largest sulphide deposits in Norway are located near Sulitjelma. The different types of mineralizations occurring in the region are briefly described.

Abstract:
Bekkesedimenter fra 334 prøvelokaliteter i Sulitjelma-området ble innsamlet med en prøvetetthet på 1 prøve pr. 10 km2. Rapporten inneholder tabeller og resultkart over 28 elementer oppsluttet med HNO3 og bestemt med ICAP.
