Morocco Strategic Minerals Launches a Two-Phase Exploration Work at Timarighine
Morocco Strategic Minerals Launches a Two-Phase
Exploration Work at Timarighine
MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC, CANADA — (April 22, 2025 ) – Morocco Strategic Minerals
Corporation. (TSXV: MCC) ("Morocco Strategic Minerals" or the "Corporation") is pleased
to announce the launch of a two -phase exploration program on its Timarighine property,
where it holds an option to acquire a 100% interest.
Exploration Program
This exploration initiative follows a recent site visit and preliminary investigation at the
Timarighine property. Trench #1 was excavated perpendicular to a sub -vertical mineralized
structure, interpreted to extend appro ximately 1 kilometer in length. Sampling along this
trench has identified significant sulfides mineralization (figure 1) within a stockwork system
of dykes, characterized predominantly by quartz, carbonates, iron oxides, hematite and
pyrite, with minor chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite—minerals often associated with gold mineral
systems.
A total of nine grab samples were taken from the subvertical main structure with visible
mineralization at shallow depths between 8 to 10 meters from the surface . They were
assayed at African Laboratory for Mining and Environment (“Afrilab”) in Marrakech, Morocco.
All samples were analyzed for copper and returned values between 0.78 to 8.14% Cu. This
type mineralization will serve as the focus for the forthcoming exploration efforts.
Phase One , is expected to be completed before the end of April 2025 and consists in
deepening existing trenches using mechanical excavators and dewatering pumps to access
fresher, less -weathered dyke . A systematic horizontal channel sampling program will be
conducted along the exposed mineralized structures to evaluate grade continuity and
distribution. A local contractor has been hired to carry out this phase of the program.
Following the completion of trenching and surface sampling, Phase Two will initiate a maiden
diamond drilling campaign totaling between 1,000 and 2,000 meters. This phase aims to
further delineate the mineralized zones at depth and evaluate the project's broader potential.
The drilling program will be supervised by independent geological consulting firm GoldMinds
Geoservices, with technical oversight provided on-site to ensure full compliance with National
Instrument 43-101 reporting standards.

About the Timarighine Copper Property
The Timarighine copper prospect is located in the Tazzarine rural commune within the
Tazarine caïdat, Agdez district, Zagoura province, in Morocco's Drâa -Tafilalet region.
Situated approximately 13 km northwest of Tazarine village, the property lies along the
southern slopes of the Jbel Saghro in the eastern Anti -Atlas, an area renowned for copper
mineralization, including the nearby Oumjrane deposit. Access to the site is available via
national road R108, between Nkob and Tazarine, followed by a direct track to the Timarighine
area. Covering approximately 64 km², the property comprises four contiguous exploration
permits (3842563, 3842734, 3842735, and 3842736).
The Timarighine property lies within an east-west trending depression on the southern front
of the Precambrian -aged Saghro massif. Copper mineralization occurs along two parallel
vein structures, known locally as "iron cap" zones, marked by extensive alteration zones with
hematite and goethite iron oxides. The mineralized structures are characterized by a shear
system oriented NNE -SSW and feature local stockwork zones of brecciated carbonate -
quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite veinlets. The two main mineralized vein s extend approximately
650 meters and 300 meters in length, with variable widths up to 5 meters (Figure 1: Aerial
View of Main Mineralized Structures). High -grade copper identified within these zones also
hints at significant primary sulfide mineralization potential at depth, underscoring
Timarighine’s status as a high-value copper exploration target.
Qualified Person
The technical and scientific information in this press release have been reviewed by
Merouane Rachidi, Ph.D., P.Geo., an independent qualified person as defined in National
Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").
Quality Assurance
All grab samples were sent for preparation and assaying to African Laboratory for Mining and
Environment (“Afrilab”) in Marrakech, Morocco. All samples were analyzed for silver, copper,
iron, lead, and zinc using Aqua regia and finished by atomic absorption spectroscopy (“AAS”).
Samples with above 5% Cu content were reanalyzed using titration method.
