(TSXV: MCC) (\"Morocco Strategic Minerals\" or the \"Corporation\") is pleased to announce the commencement of its maiden drilling program on the Timarighine property, located in the eastern Anti-Atlas region of Morocco. This follows a successful initial exploration phase which confirmed the presence of high-grade copper mineralization and a robust structural framework with potential for scale.\n \n\n\n Phase 1 Highlights\n \n\n\n The initial phase of work at Timarighine focused on trench deepening, opening new exposures, geophysical surveying, and systematic channel and grab sampling. This exploration program led to the discovery of high-grade sulphide mineralization beginning at shallow depths (8–10 metres), previously masked by surface weathering. Channel and grab samples returned exceptional copper grades of up to 16.16% Cu*\n \n ,\n \n with occurrences of native copper (figure 1) and occasionally silver values reaching up to 20 g/t Ag. Mineralization is also hosted by a strongly developed dyke stockwork system, indicating the presence of a broad mineralized envelope. Additionally,\n \n\n arsenopyrite concentrations of up to 5,079 ppm\n \n\n were identified, a mineral commonly associated with gold-bearing systems. These results further support the presence of a near-surface polymetallic system and reinforce the Corporation’s drill targeting strategy for the upcoming drill program.\n \n\n *\n \n Grab and channel samples are selective by nature and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n Figure 1: High-grade sulphide mineralization encountered during Phase 1 of exploration at the Timarighine property, grading up to 16.16% copper (Cu). The samples also confirmed the presence of native copper.\n \n\n\n Planned Drilling Program\n \n\n\n The maiden drill campaign at Timarighine will consist of approximately 1,300 metres of diamond drilling (DDH)\n \n\n and\n \n\n 400 metres of reverse circulation (RC) drilling\n \n ,\n \n designed to systematically evaluate the project's two most prominent mineralized structures as well as the surrounding stockwork zones.
