MONTRÉAL, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Morocco Strategic Minerals Corporation. (TSXV: MCC) (“Morocco Strategic Minerals” or the “Company”) announces new surface rock sampling results from the Tamdghoust exploration permit, located north of the historical Aït Zekri mine within its Western High Atlas portfolio in Morocco. The results identify gold-bearing quartz veins, locally associated with significant silver and copper mineralization, expanding the Company’s gold exploration targets beyond the historical drilling footprint at Aït Zekri.

New Gold Occurrences North of Aït Zekri

The Company’s recent surface sampling program, consisting of 48 grab samples, has extended the known mineralized trend by approximately 2,800 metres along strike. The newly identified occurrences display geological characteristics similar to those observed at the Aït Zekri mine. At Aït Zekri, gold mineralization is associated with quartz veining and sulphides hosted within pelitic rocks and calcareous sandstones, with local brecciation and alteration. These results materially expand the prospective footprint and support the interpretation of a broader mineralized trend extending northward from Aït Zekri.

*Further geological mapping, systematic sampling and drilling will be required to establish the continuity, geometry and extent of mineralization along this trend.

Gold assay highlights include:

Article content

  • 2.57 g/t Au in sample TM-GB-0006;
  • 2.33 g/t Au in sample TM-GB-0016;
  • 1.68 g/t Au in sample TM-GB-0010;
  • 1.37 g/t Au in sample TM-GB-0021; and
  • 0.80 g/t Au in sample TM-GB-0022.

Article content

Gold values in the analyzed sample series ranged from below 0.05 g/t Au to 2.57 g/t Au, with 14 out of the 48 samples returning grades greater than 0.20 g/t Au, highlighting the widespread occurrence of gold mineralization within the sampled quartz-vein system.
