Morocco samples up to 2.3% Cu, 17.75% Zn at Tifernine

Executive Summary

• Morocco Strategic Minerals released initial channel and grab sampling results from the Tifernine property in southeast Morocco, confirming high‑grade copper mineralization and notable zinc, gold, and oxide‑copper anomalies.
• Five channel samples exceed 1 % Cu (peak 2.30 % Cu) and three exceed 1 % CuOX (peak 1.72 % CuOX); a grab sample returned 17.75 % Zn and another 1.89 % Cu.
• The company will commence a follow‑up exploration program involving detailed geological mapping and trenching to test continuity of the mineralized structures.

Key Details

• Property Overview: ~16 km²; several subvertical, mineralized structures (ST1: 600 m strike, up to 11 m width; ST2 & ST3: ~100–110 m strike, ≤2 m width).
• Sampling Program:
• 14 channel samples (76 individual intervals) collected along ST1 at 1‑m spacing.
• 5 grab samples from structures ST2 and ST3.
• All analyses performed by Afrilab Laboratory, Marrakech.
• Copper Results:
• 5 channel samples > 1.00 % Cu; highest grade 2.30 % Cu.
• 3 channel samples > 1.00 % CuOX; highest grade 1.72 % CuOX.
• Grab sample Tif‑16 (ST3) – 1.89 % Cu.
• Gold Results: 42 samples above detection limit (>0.05 g/t Au); maximum 0.30 g/t Au (sample Tif‑16).
• Zinc Results: 13 samples > 0.50 % Zn; peak 17.75 % Zn (sample Tif‑07).
• Other Elements: Analyses included silver, iron, lead; methods used aqua regia digestion with AAS, fire assay for Au, titration for Cu > 5 %.
• Qualified Person Review: Merouane Rachidi, PhD, PGeo (NI 43‑101 qualified).
• Future Work: Design of a follow‑up program featuring detailed geological mapping and trenching to assess mineralization continuity and generate additional targets across the property.

Notable Quotes

“The results confirm the presence of high‑grade copper mineralization within exposed structures and outline significant copper anomalies… Anomalous gold values highlight the property's untapped gold potential, while the strong zinc grades reinforce its polymetallic character.” – Pierre‑Olivier Goulet, Vice‑President, Corporate Development.
