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.
