Targeted Mineral Exploration in Morocco – Strategic Overview of Coppernicus Mining Company (2025)
Introduction
As part of its targeted exploration strategy for critical minerals, Coppernicus Mining Company is actively conducting exploration campaigns across high-potential regions of Morocco, particularly in the Atlas and Anti-Atlas domains. Backed by a strong portfolio of promising permits, the company applies an integrated approach combining advanced technologies and geological rigor to identify and unlock strategic mineral resources.
- Anti-Atlas (Taroudant Province)
Characterized by a fractured Precambrian basement and folded Paleozoic sequences with widespread granitic and rhyolitic intrusions.
- Targets: Copper on carbonate bars, gold-bearing quartz veins, and hematite lenses.
- Highlights: Satellite-detected anomalies aligned with major lineaments; traces of historical artisanal workings.
- High Atlas (Marrakech Area)
A structurally deformed area conducive to hydrothermal alteration processes.
- Objective: Map shear corridors with high mineralization potential.
- Central High Atlas
A geologically diverse area from Precambrian to Mesozoic formations.
- Targets: Copper in Adoudounian carbonates, auriferous quartz veins, and hematite-rich zones along fault systems.
Coppernicus implements a multi-stage advanced exploration program:
- Remote sensing using Landsat 9, ASTER, Sentinel-2 data
- Lithological mapping and hydrothermal alteration detection
- Structural analysis and major fault identification
- Field validation: rock sampling, trenching, and geochemical analysis
- Geostructural integration to prioritize drill-ready targets
- Identification of key mineralized structures with gold and copper potential
- Validation of shear corridors associated with hydrothermal systems
- Definition of priority zones for upcoming geophysical and drilling phases
- Launch of focused geophysical surveys
- Planning of exploratory drilling on top-ranked targets
- Consolidation of geological data for future feasibility assessments
Institutional Framework
- All activities are conducted in compliance with Moroccan mining and environmental regulations
- Ongoing collaboration with national geological and technical institutions
- Commitment to responsible exploration: local employment, environmental safeguards, respect for local communities
Conclusion
Operating in underexplored yet geologically rich regions, Coppernicus Mining Company is establishing itself as a disciplined and forward-looking player in Moroccan mineral exploration. Through its integrated, data-driven and socially responsible approach, the company is paving the way for high-impact discoveries and long-term value creation in the critical minerals sector.
