Altus begins survey at Morocco project
Aim- and TSX-V-listed mining royalty generator Altus Strategies has started a 135 line kilometre induced polarisation (IP) and gradient array geophysical survey at its 100%-owned Agdz copper and silver project, in the eastern Anti-Atlas of Morocco.
The survey is designed to identify and prioritise targets for follow-up trenching and drilling.
Agdz hosts four significant copper/silver prospects covering an area of about 8 km2.
The survey will be undertaken by a specialist contractor and is expected to be completed in September.
“The commencement of this high-resolution, IP geophysical survey is a notable milestone for our 100%-owned Agdz copper/silver project in the Eastern Anti-Atlas of Morocco.
“The survey will be used to define, as well as prioritise, targets for trenching and drilling within the four key prospects discovered to date. These prospects have a combined mapped strike length of 5.6 km and have returned numerous encouraging rock chip results, including 8% copper and 448 g/t silver.
“Terratec Geophysical Services of Germany is undertaking the survey, which should be completed in September. In parallel to the IP survey, our field team is undertaking further mapping and sampling across the key prospects,” Altus CE Steven Poulton says.
He notes that recent rock chip sampling at the Makarn prospect has returned further positive results, including 2.86% copper and 136 g/t silver.
“Agdz is located just 14 km southwest of the Bou Skour copper and silver mine, which is operated by Moroccan State mining group Managem.
“While mineralisation hosted at Bou Skour is not necessarily indicative of that at Agdz, the project is clearly exceptionally well located in an established and highly prospective mining district,” he acclaims.
