Exciting Developments at the BMR Copper-Gold Property
Morocco Strategic Minerals Corporation (TSXV: MCC) has made headlines with the promising results of a targeted rock sampling program conducted in May. This initiative took place at their BMR copper-gold property, situated in a notable mining area of Morocco. Here, the company has the option to obtain full ownership of this desirable asset.
Overview of the Sampling Program
Covering around 9 square kilometers, the BMR property is highlighted by a significant mineralized structure that extends approximately 1.2 kilometers in its southern section. Characterized by brecciated quartz-carbonate veining, the area displays visible copper oxide minerals such as chalcocite and malachite, making it an intriguing site for further exploration.
Initial surface sampling conducted by Morocco Strategic Minerals indicated high-grade copper values reaching up to 11.73% and gold levels of 5.53 g/t. This necessitated a follow-up exploration, leading to the recent program which incorporated 67 rock samples. These were analyzed at Afrilab Laboratory in Marrakech, confirming the area's potential.
Key Highlights from Recent Sampling
Recent analyses reveal substantial findings, including:
- 37 samples showcasing copper grades exceeding 2.00% Cu, peaking at an impressive 9.33% Cu
- 19 samples demonstrating oxide copper (CuOX) grades over 2.00% CuOX, with a maximum of 6.51% CuOX
- 7 samples indicating gold grades above 0.30 g/t Au, with a peak of 0.43 g/t Au
- 1 sample recording a silver grade reaching 52 g/t Ag
"These results validate the high-grade copper potential of the southern structure while highlighting significant gold and silver anomalies. The mineralization style hints at a broader polymetallic system that deserves more exploration," stated Pierre-Olivier Goulet, the VP of Corporate Development for Morocco Strategic Minerals Corp.
Future Exploration Plans
Looking ahead, the Corporation is excited to develop a comprehensive follow-up program that will include detailed mapping, trenching, and geophysical surveys. The objective is to further pinpoint the extent of mineralization and to identify new targets across the property.
A Closer Look at the BMR Copper Property
The BMR Copper property is strategically located southeast of a prominent area and benefits from accessibility via national roads. This region has a history of copper and manganese workings, predominantly featuring volcanic and volcano-clastic terrains, adding to the geological interest.
The southern section of the property houses a vertical mineralized structure characterized by tectonic brecciation. With richness in essential minerals, the main zone exhibits sulfide veins with a steep easterly dip. Initial testing yielded remarkable copper and gold grades, establishing the foundation for ongoing exploration efforts.
Meanwhile, in the northern segment, remnants of a historical copper quarry remain, containing approximately 4,000 tonnes of extracted material, indicating further resource potential. Here, copper can be found in veins or dispersed throughout the surrounding volcanic rock, with alteration zones suggesting ongoing geological activity that could affect mineralization.
