Small quarry 250 meters to the west of the Agoudal Centre Mine.
The quarry exploited a small ore vein 0.1 to 1 m thick. It has been a source of world-class erythrite, among other arsenates.
It was re-opened temporarily in April-May 2010 (March-June 2010 according to Praszkier, 2010). When visited in November 2022 by the Young Mineral Collectors' trip to Morocco, the quarry was mostly backfilled.
