Denne forekomsten ugjør et belte av mindre grafittmineraliseringer som ligger fra Vikeidet og i nordøstlig retning mot Storelvbukta. I 1988 påviste NGU en rekke helikopter EM-anomalier i dette området. I 1990 ble det utført røsking flere steder i myrene ved Bjørnåsen og Vedåsen. Grafittmineraliseringene er små og gehaltene som regel under 15 % C. Alle røskene ble gravd igjen rett etter prøvetaking, Mineraliseringene i denne forekomsten kan ikke besøkes idag. Helikopter geofysikk innsamlet i 2013 viser en EM anomali som er meget kraftig og det er mulighet for at denne forekomsten er større en tidligere antatt. Rapportene i refereransene gir detaljerte geofysiske målinger og kart Koordinatene til prøvepunkter samlet inn før 1996 kan ha dårlig presisjon. Tonnasje estimater indikerer ressurser på over 20 mill tonn.
