Exciting Sampling Results from the Tifernine Property
MONTREAL — Morocco Strategic Minerals Corporation (TSXV: MCC) has recently shared the results of their latest sampling program conducted on the Tifernine Property. This mineral-rich area is located significantly southeast of Ouarzazate, where the company is on the path to acquiring a full 100% interest in the property.
Overview of the Sampling Program
The Tifernine property spans about 16 square kilometers and includes several notable mineralized structures primarily found in the northeastern section of the location. Key highlights from the sampling include:
- Structure ST1: This structure is the largest of the three identified, extending over 600 meters with a width reaching up to 11 meters.
- Structures ST2 and ST3: These structures extend approximately 100 meters and 110 meters respectively, with widths up to 2 meters.
During this program, the team collected 14 channel samples, totaling 76 individual samples. Each sample reflects a specific 1-meter interval from the mineralized zones of ST1. Additionally, five grab samples were taken from structures ST2 and ST3, with all analysis performed at Afrilab in Marrakech.
It's important to note that grab samples are inherently selective and might not fully represent the overall mineralization of the site.
Promising Results from the Sampling
The results from this sampling initiative have shown significant promise:
- Five channel samples demonstrated copper grades exceeding 1.00%, with a highest value recorded at 2.30% Cu.
- Three channel samples showed impressive results with grades above 1.00% CuOX, peaking at 1.72% CuOX.
- Three grab samples reported copper grades above 0.50%, including an exceptional 1.89% Cu.
- A total of 42 samples surpassed the detection limit for gold with readings over 0.05 g/t Au, the maximum being 0.30 g/t Au.
- 13 samples revealed zinc values above 0.50% Zn, including a notable 17.75% Zn.
These results emphasize the expected high-grade copper mineralization present within the exposed structures, indicating strong copper anomalies on the property.
Future Plans for Exploration
Pierre-Olivier Goulet, Vice President of Corporate Development at Morocco Strategic Minerals, expressed that these findings confirm not only the high-grade copper presence but also highlight the untapped potential for gold and other metals like zinc. Following this successful sampling effort, the company is enthusiastic about designing a comprehensive exploration program. This will involve detailed geological mapping and trenching aimed at evaluating mineralization continuity and discovering further targets across the Tifernine property.
About the Tifernine Copper Property
The Tifernine Copper Project is strategically located and easily accessible via the main national road, linking to key areas like Zagora. This property, remarkably situated just 10 km from the BMR property, has significant geological characteristics, including an Ediacaran rhyolitic and andesitic complex, featuring numerous intersecting faults.
These structures not only demonstrate impressive lengths but also evident copper mineralization, both in veins and in disseminated forms throughout the volcanic rock.
