Imiter bis (Ag, Au, Cu, Pb, Zn)

About Imiter bis

Imiter bis, formerly known as 233263 Permit, is an exploration property located on Morocco’s sub-Atlas range, about 150 kilometers from Ouarzazate and just five kilometers south of the world-class Imiter Mine. The geology and Phase I drill results indicate the presence of a 4-km potential at-surface polymetallic structure hosted within a low-sulphidation epithermal system

 

Highlights


 

  • Ownership: 100%
  • One exploration permit covering 16 km²
  • Initial fieldwork: identification of a potential 4-km at-surface polymetallic structure (see left figure)
  • 2021: 4,380m scout drilling on 4 zones confirmed presence of gold and silver in several discovery holes
    • Vein system of >4km located close to major contact between granodiorite and main mafic dyke
    • Program confirmed continuity at depth with increasing widths in Middle Zone
  • 2022: 4,474m drill program following up on 2021 drill results and tested new area
    • Focus on 4 zones (Northwest, Daoud, Northeast-Extension and Dilatation Zones)
    • Encouraging results found in in the North Zone including 5.0m grading 3.94 g/t Au and 11.5m grading 1.46 g/t Au
    • H1-2022 airborne geophysical survey completed over 554 linear km
  • Follow-up drill programs will focus on finding the ‘boiling zone” with potential of richer mineralisation

 

Location

The property is located in the Proterozoic Saghro “boutonnière” of Morocco’s Sub-Atlas range, about 150 kilometers from Ouarzazate and five kilometers south of the world-class Imiter Mine. Roads from Imiter village lead to the northern and southern ends of the property.


 

Geology

Imiter bis is underlain by a complex bi-modal volcanic sequence of the Ourzazate Supergroup overlying the Precambrian pelitic sequence of the Anti-Atlas Supergroup that hosts the Imiter silver deposit. The host bi-modal volcanic sequence consists of flow-banded rhyolite, felsic volcanic conglomerates, porphyritic dacite and andesite, and basalt. The host sequence is intruded by multiple syn-volcanic granitic and granodioritic intrusions and mafic dykes.

The property is cut by two major structures filled by low-sulphidation epithermal vein systems, oriented in a N-S and NE-SW orientation, associated with the regional fault system. Additionally, multiple syn-to-late-volcanic faults cut the sequence, many of which are mineralized.

Exploration

Follow-up drill programs will focus on finding the ‘boiling zone” that could host higher-grade mineralization (see left figure).
