🇲🇦 Morocco Opens 13,000 km² Mining Tender to Gold & Copper Investors
Morocco has launched a major mining exploration tender covering 13,000 square kilometres to attract global investment into its mineral sector — especially gold and copper — as authorities aim to expand mining activity and economic growth.
Key Highlights:
The programme includes 361 exploration blocks rich in gold, copper, and other base metals near the Algerian border.
Stricter ESG and sustainability standards will guide how projects are selected.
Applications from global mining firms are due by 15 May 2026, opening the door for new discoveries and investment.
Why It Matters:
Morocco is stepping up its mining strategy to compete with other resource hubs in Africa and leverage its geological potential, potentially boosting metals supply that’s critical for electrification and industrial demand.
