Our Projects
Copper and lead ore projects for mining investors
With demand only set to increase, new reserves must be found to meet the growing marketcopper investment
The increasing demand on commodity such as copper, lead us to divesify our assets portfolio to new base metals: Copper and Lead Ore. SMBM has aqcuired three mining licences in the Kingdom of Morocco, the first field prospections and geological mapping has returned great results on surface explorations and trenching .
