Aterian plc, the Africa-focused critical metals exploration company, has announced encouraging surface sampling results from its 100%-owned Agdz Est Copper-Silver projects in Morocco.
The exploration drilling results confirm multiple mineralized zones hosting copper and silver, significantly extending the known footprint of mineralization within the broader 50.4 km² Agdz Project. The identification of these multiple mineralized structures highlights the potential scale of the deposit, said the company.
Charles Bray, Chairman of Aterian, said: “These early-stage results from Agdz Est represent a highly encouraging breakthrough in unlocking the scale potential of the Agdz Copper-Silver Project”.
“The identification of multiple copper and silver-bearing fault zones, all of which remain open along strike, materially strengthens our strong conviction that Agdz hosts a large, structurally extensive mineral system with meaningful exploration upside”, he added.
“Importantly, mineralization has been confirmed across only a small portion of the permit area to date, highlighting the significant untapped potential that remains”, underlined Mr. Bray.
“We are particularly excited by the prospect of advancing towards a focused drilling campaign in Morocco, with Agdz emerging as a flagship opportunity within the portfolio”, said Chairman of the British company, noting that the growing body of geological evidence continues to reinforce belief that Agdz has the potential to develop into a substantial copper-silver system.
