The race for global mineral concessions continues to intensify as exploration results from OLAH Palace Trading reveal significant discoveries across its project area in southern Morocco.
Exploration results indicate high-grade gold across multiple hydrothermal quartz veins
Fieldwork conducted by Bakr Khudeira, BSc, MAusIMM, MAIG, has confirmed the presence of 34 quartz veins trending NW–SE, striking along the full length of the permit.
These structures extend beyond 100 meters in depth, with surface widths ranging from 40 cm to 1.5 meters.
Sampling from shafts and trenches has returned assay results between 6 g/t and 30 g/t, underscoring the concession’s high-grade potential.
Adding to the significance, the concession sits on the bedrock of the historic Dara’a River – a once gold-bearing river system that extended from Algeria through Mauritania and now provides further evidence of a mineralised foundation.
Morocco’s role in the global mineral prospectivity
These discoveries come as Morocco draws increasing international attention for its broader mineral potential. Beyond gold, the country is host to deposits of Copper, Lithium, Titanium, and Rare Earth Elements (REEs) – commodities critical to electrification, renewable energy, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing.
Competition for concession rights is intensifying as global supply chains look for alternatives outside of Asia. Morocco’s unique geographic position bridging Africa and Europe adds to its growing strategic importance.
OLAH’s positioning
OLAH Palace Trading is advancing its concessions with a multi-mineral strategy, combining exploration of gold, copper, lithium, titanium, and REEs with the goal of aligning Morocco’s geological potential to rising global demand.
“These discoveries validate what we’ve long believed about Morocco’s untapped resources,” said Odai Nabut, Head of Business Development at OLAH Palace Trading. “As the race for mineral concessions accelerates, our focus is on building long-term value through responsible development and strategic partnerships.”
