Bouskour project

The Bou Skour copper deposit is situated in the eastern part of the Anti-Atlas belt about 50 km East of the city of Ouarzazate. The first discoveries of this mining district date back to medieval times and subsequently was mined by “la Société Minière de Jbel Sarhro” in the 1940’s. Mining activity was continued in 1948 by “la Société Minière d’Issougri” and then by “la Société Minière de Bou Skour”, which in 1950 revealed interesting anomalies through geophysical prospecting. 
After several years of closure, starting in 2008, Reminex, a subsidiary of Managem Group, began extensive exploration programs, including geophysical survey and more than 100,000 m of core drilling, leading to the discovery of 19 million tons of M&I Mineral Resources at 1,44% Cu and 12 g/t Ag.  The inferred mineral resources are 5.4 Mt grading 0.98% Cu, 10 g/t Ag. The Feasibility Study completed in 2018 reported proven and probable reserves of 9 million tons at an average copper grade of 1.61%. Owing to its Transformational Strategy and the criticity of copper for Green Energy  , Managem has invested in an exploration program supported by new technologies to increase the Tier size of the project and improve its economic fundamentals. This strategy is supported by the ready-made Brownfield targets and the potential of the Saghro province.
 

Tizert project

Located in the Western Anti Atlas, 65 km from Taroudant City, Tizert Deposit is among exploration success stories of Managem as a Cu-Ag world Class deposits discovery. 

Exploration initiated in 1969 by BRPM (Bureau de Recherche et de Participations Menieres),  led to  identification of the Cu-Ag mineralizing system and potential for a copper deposits in the district. 

Since 2016, Managem has undertaken sustainable exploration works that consist of airborne and ground-based geophysics, geochemistry, hyperspectral and more than 200,000 m of core drill holes. This multidisciplinary approach supported by new technologies of exploration deliver successive resources and reserves growth. Currently, Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources are estimated at 100 million tons, with an additional 30 million tons classified as Inferred Mineral Resources with a very prospective Brownfield targets for sustaining growth.  
For the project's feasibility studies, expertise was sought from globally recognized engineering firms alongside Reminex Engineering, a subsidiary of Managem. These studies estimated the reserves to hold 590,000 tons of copper metal and 1,190 tons of silver metal, with a projected phase 1 annual production  of 120,000 tons of copper concentrate over a 17-year operational lifespan. 
Additionally, Industrial Valorization Plan (IVP) studies were carried out, aiming to position the project as a benchmark in technological and digital advancement within the industry.
 

In terms of infrastructure, the project plans include the construction of:


•    148 km of pipelines and 8 pumping stations
•    70 km of new 60kV power lines
•    40 km of new 22kV power lines
 

Pumpi project

Located in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in the province of LUALABA within an important zone of copper reserves, the Pumpi project presents itself as a large-scale deposit.

In partnership with the Chinese group Wanbao Mining, Managem Group has launched the construction of a mining complex, consisting of 32 operating permits covering a heritage of 25.6 km2.

With its strong geological potential, Pumpi project perfectly embodies Managem's strategic ambitions in Africa. More than 10 years of research and major exploration work carried out by geologists from Managem have led to the discovery of mineral resources of 148,500 T of Cobalt and 778,000 T of copper.

While the inauguration ceremony of the project took place in March 2019, the main civil construction work started in May 2019. In September 2020, Pumpi went into production and delivered its first copper cathodes.

 

Bleida mine

The Bleïda copper mine is located in the SE of the Bou Azzer-El Grâara inlier, in the Central Anti-Atlas, about fifteen kilometers as the crow flies from the village of Bleïda and 160 km from Ouarzazate City. In addition to the famous cobalt  mine of Bou Azzer, the Bleïda copper deposit has greatly contributed to the strong mining reputation of the Bou Azzer-El Grâara inlier. This site has attracted attention since the Middle Ages, as evidenced by the numerous trenches, slag, traces of ancient furnaces, and the ruins of the Guelb Tassawt mining village, east of Bleïda.
The first research works supported by modern technologies date back to 1971. The mining operations were halted in 1997 due to the depletion of sulfide ore reserves. Following the development of an innovative oxide treatment process by the R&D Center of the group, the site was reopened in 2008 and serves as a platform for processing copper oxides from several deposits of the Infracambrian carbonate cover.
 

Oumejrane mine

Oumjrane District is located in the Eastern Anti-Atlas of Morocco called Draa-Tafilalt Region, 90 kilometers North East of Zagora city. This Region is one of the prospective provinces in the Mediterranean Geology that revealed numerous mineral deposits and has always been famous with a historical mining vocation.

Several MVT (Missispi Valley Type) and Hydrothermal Veins mineralizations with base metals, Copper-Silver and barite are inventoried in the Region and have been the subject of artisanal mining and small scale mining activities. 
In the past few decades, the district has been the focus of successive prospecting works, particularly by the BRPM (Bureau of Mining Research and Participation). 
At 2010 Managem improved the exploration and geological models and conducted a regional mapping combined which IP ground Geophysics uncovered reserves estimated at about 2 million tons, with an average copper grade of 2.7%.  At 2023, aligned with the Transformational Strategy centered on new Tier projects, Managem consolidated the portfolio with The Boukerzia district, situated to 8 km East of the Central deposit and underwent multidisciplinary exploration, revealing the potential for over 10 million tons of material, some of which could be Open Pit Mineable. 
Commencing production in 2014, the Oumjrane mine, operated by CMO (a subsidiary of the Managem Group), marks a significant development in the area.
Four operational sites feed the Oumejrane mine's processing unit, extracting primarily sulfide ores, mainly composed of chalcopyrite. The processing of these ores involves a conventional flotation concentration technique. The Oumejrane mine boasts a substantial reserve portfolio, projected to last for the next 10 years. The demonstrated potential of the Boukerzia district lays the foundation for ambitious, intensive exploration, driving towards organic growth and expansion of the mining operations.
 

Akka mine

The AKKA mining site is located in the Copper Belt of the Western Anti-Atlas in Morocco, 280 km southeast of the city of Agadir. This metallogenic province, with a strong mining vocation, has since antiquity attracted the interest of the Phoenicians and then the Carthaginians for precious metals, and the Portuguese for copper in the 16th century. Managem's history in the province dates back to 2001 when its subsidiary AGM was created to exploit the Inlioua gold deposit in the same site. With the depletion of the gold deposit reserves in 2007, and in order to maintain activity in the region, Managem initiated an ambitious exploration program supported by R&D projects to develop innovative processes for treating slag from 16th-century artisanal foundries and dumps from semi-industrial operations of the early last century. The success of these efforts and the discovery of new Cu and Ag deposits allowed Managem to convert the gold processing plant to valorize the entire spectrum of copper-silver ores of the province and to sustain mining activity in the region. 
Owned by AGM, a subsidiary of the Managem Group, which holds more than tow thounsand sqrKm of exploration permits and mining licenses. Following an integrated mineral system approach, the group has invested in multidisciplinary exploration programs that led to the discovery of a world-class Cu-Ag deposit in the construction phase. This Tizert project and the additional mineral resources discovered after the feasibility study fuel the Group's ambition to create a hub for copper production and silver as a by-product in the region.

mine of Draa Sfar

Draa Sfar mine is located in the Moroccan Meseta VMS Province (Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide), 13 km in The North West of Marrakesh.
The history of the Draa Sfar mine goes back to 1949, when Jean Routier was the first to apply for the permit covering the Iron Gossan above the deposit. In 1953, SMZ (Société des Mines des Zenaga) started mining the deposit, and produced 5,000 tons of iron ore as hematite with an ore grade of 51% iron. 
The first exploration work began in that same year, when the SEGM (Service d'Etude Géologique Marocain) awarded the CPGNA (Compagnie de Prospection Géophysique Nord Africaine) a ground geophysical survey in the area of Sidi Mbrak, which includes the Draa Sfar zone. Several exploration surveys were carried out for Sulphur and iron, and base metals were discovered in a relatively small thikness by 1962. In 1984, BRPM  agreed a research agreement with SOMIFER and REMINEX, both subsidiaries of the Managem Group. The work performed under this agreement led to the discovery of the deposit, which then started up production in 2004 to take over from the Hajjar deposit, which had been running out of reserves. 
The Jbilets area north of Marrakech hosts many deposits, the most important of which are the Draa Sfar and Koudiat Aicha orebodies. These two deposits generate polymetallic ore with high concentrations of zinc, lead, copper and silver. These polymetallic mines are mined by CMG, subsidiary of Managem Group. 
With the aim of making a long-term sustainable mining industry in the Region, Managem implemented an integrated multidisciplinary Strategy using robust mineral system model and New Airborne as well as Remote Sensing Technologies.  Machine Learning Data Processing highlights more than 20 advanced Targets. 


Draa Sfar deposit 


Draa Sfar deposit has a significant reserve of polymetallic ore with economical concentrations of Zinc, Copper, Lead and Silver. The ore reserve stretches over a depth of 1.5 km and runs 1.6 km North South, and still Open both laterally and in the depth. Draa Sfar Modern Shaft is the deepest mine in North Africa, reaching a depth of 1,200 metres.
