Morocco Strategic Minerals

What Morocco Strategic Minerals does

Morocco Strategic Minerals Corporation is a Canadian junior mineral exploration company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol MCC.V, originally founded in 2019 as Genius Metals Inc. and rebranded in January 2025 to reflect its strategic pivot toward Morocco. The company is headquartered in Saint-Sauveur (with a corporate presence in Montréal), Quebec, and operates a portfolio of seven exploration projects across two jurisdictions: copper and copper-gold-silver assets in Morocco's Anti-Atlas and Western High Atlas regions, and lithium and phosphate assets in Quebec. Its Morocco portfolio includes the Timarighine Copper Project (approximately 64 km², four exploration permits), the Tifernine Copper Project, the BMR Copper-Gold Project (9 km²), and a district-scale option with MNF Groupe Inc. covering more than 57 km² with five exploitation licences and two research permits. Its Quebec portfolio includes Lithium381 (contiguous to Allkem's James Bay Lithium Mine), the Sakami Lithium Property (302 km²), and the Dissimieux phosphate property.

The company's underlying technology consists of conventional mineral exploration techniques, including geophysical surveys (IP/resistivity, MAG, LiDAR), diamond drilling, surface and channel sampling, and assay analysis at certified laboratories (SGS Canada, ALS Global) under strict QA/QC protocols. Exploration is executed under option agreements with local Moroccan counterparties (notably MNF Groupe Inc., a subsidiary of Broychim S.A.) and a partnership with Clarity Metals Corp. on Lithium381. Morocco Strategic Minerals is pre-revenue and generates no operating revenue; its business model is to raise capital through non-brokered private placements on the TSX Venture Exchange, advance exploration-stage projects, and pursue future mineral resource definition and potential development. The company serves retail and institutional investors seeking junior mining exposure to copper, gold, silver, lithium, and phosphate in mining-friendly jurisdictions.
