Mise en place syntectonique des minéralisations cuprifères du gı̂te d'Ifri (district du Haut Seksaoua, Haut Atlas occidental, Maroc)

Abstract

Structural and metallogenic studies of the Ifri copper deposit (western High Atlas, Morocco) demonstrate that a great part of the mineralization was linked to a stockwork developed during a Late-Variscan NNW-verging shearing event. With this significant result, the until now accepted syngenetic character for this mineralization has to be reconsidered and allows to suggest a new guide of prospection for this kind of deposit.
