## Minestarters Atlas summary

Morocco Strategic Minerals reported high-grade copper \(up to 14.88%\) and silver \(up to 696 g/t\) grab samples from the Ouneine project, alongside gold intercepts at Aït Zekri. The company is advancing its Western High Atlas portfolio through systematic surface and underground sampling and geological mapping.

Reasoning: The release reports exceptional high-grade copper and silver grab samples at Ouneine and gold at Aït Zekri, supported by a formal QA/QC program and QP oversight.

- Positive factor: High-grade copper intercepts \(up to 14.88%\)

- Positive factor: Strong silver association \(up to 696 g/t\)

- Positive factor: Gold mineralization confirmed at surface and underground

- Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed

- Positive factor: QP sign-off provided

- Negative factor: Results are from grab samples \(selective/not representative of width/continuity\)

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
