The Canadian company Morocco Strategic Minerals has announced promising results from a rock sampling program conducted in May 2025 at its BMR copper and gold project, located southeast of Ouarzazate, Morocco. The 9-square-kilometer site is currently under a full acquisition option, giving the company the right to 100% ownership. The latest study identified quartz and carbonate veins with visible oxidized copper minerals such as chalcocite and malachite, strong indicators of potential mineralization. Previous preliminary tests had already revealed high copper concentrations of 11.73% and gold values reaching 5.53 grams per ton. These results led the company to expand its exploration efforts to verify historical data and gain a deeper understanding of the deposit. As part of the May program, 67 surface rock samples were collected and analyzed at Afrilab in Marrakech. The results were encouraging: 37 samples contained more than 2% copper, with the highest reading at 9.33%. Nineteen samples showed elevated levels of oxidized copper, reaching up to 6.51%. In terms of gold, seven samples reported concentrations exceeding 0.30 grams per ton, with one reaching 0.43 grams per ton. One sample also revealed a silver content of 52 grams per ton. Pierre-Olivier Goulet, Vice President of Business Development, said the new data confirms strong copper mineralization in the southern zone of the site and also points to the presence of gold and silver. He noted that the mineralization pattern may reflect a broader, multi-mineral system, warranting the launch of a more advanced exploration phase. The company is now preparing a comprehensive follow-up program that will include detailed geological mapping, trenching, and geophysical surveys to better define the extent of the mineralization and identify new target zones within the project area. Moroccan Strategic Minerals Corporation is a Canadian-based company focused on mineral exploration and development in both Canada and Morocco, with an emphasis on projects with strong resource potential.
