Copper – Cuivre – Cobre – Cu
Copper is one of the most widely used metals in the industrial sector, and its demand typically increases during times of economic expansion. This makes investing in copper a potential hedge against inflation and other broad economic factors that may cause volatility in the market
Investing in junior mining companies with good assets offers attractive potential upside. Discover our projects and take part to it.

An Active Mining District
We are here in southern east Morocco, where you can work year round and in a very established mining area. There are a number of large mines nearby, for example Tiouit Gold mine, Bleida & Bouazzar Managem’s cobalt and copper mines or also Boumaadine the new Aya Gold and silver polymetalic discovery and last but not least the well known Managem’s silver mine, Imiter. So it’s a very established mining area and everything you need for mining project is right at our fingertips which makes our work very cost effective.
SMBM’s mining projects
From Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian the Anti-Atlas moutain belt offers a promissing mining conditions with acces roads and infrastrcture.
Ousdiden Deposit
The Ousdiden Project Area comprises 2 mining license areas totalling 15 square kilometres and is located in Morocco’s South Eastern Region. Small-scale mining commenced at Ousdiden at the beginning of the first quarter of 2024 and approximately 5 small-scale underground and open-pit copper, Lead and Barite workings have so-far been identified from within the project area.
Lab tests
Results were encouraging with copper returning up to 7.20% (average 2.5%), Lead returning up to 1.5% Pb per tonne.
Highlights
Geologically, Ousdiden comprises three kilometric quartz veins in the Proterozoic age, metamorphic and intrusive igneous rocks developed from late Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian.
Location & Commodity
Ouarzazate region – Copper sulfide mineralization on quartz veins, Pb-Ag on barite veins.
AOL Copper Deposit
AOL (AIT OUALLAL COPPER DEPOSIT) is located in Saghro’s Mountain Belt copper known as the Ait Atta region which runs through the south east of Morocco. SMBM has caught the local copper actors’s attention with a new copper discovery at its AOL and Ousdiden projects.
AOL is very accessible. It’s a tow-hour drive from Ouarzazate near the town of solar energy and Hollywood movies.
The infrastructure and accessibility are obviously very important for economic potential and future development.
Lab tests
3 meters veins @ 2 to 5% cu, a correlation Au-Ag still to be confirmed
Highlights
Massive East-West strike with breccia bodies on quartz veins. The types of alteration that we see, the breccia alteration, the silicification, the presence of chalcopyrite, the presence of boronite, these are all indicative features of a strongly mineralized copper.
Location & Commodity
Ouarzazate region 20 km from Bouskour sidi felah copper mine.Cu-Au mineralization on quartz veins.
