Why Morocco?

Stability, infrastructure,
opportunity

•Politically Stable: Constitutional monarchy
•Excellent & Modern Transport & Power Infrastructure: Extensive national grid and road network
•Abundance of Highly Skilled Workforce: Morocco is an important producer of phosphate as well as precious and base metals
•New Mining Code and attractive financial parameters: In order to accelerate its mining activity Morocco passed a progressive mining code and development strategy aimed at opening this sector to foreign investment. The government has a 15% free-carried interest and a 3% NSR Royalty. The government is open to negotiate the buy-back of its 15% interest
•Attractive Fiscal Regime: New mining projects are subject to a five-year tax exemption and thereafter a 17.5% tax rate
•Largely Underexplored: History of state ownership and lack of geological mapping (~35% of the country has been mapped)
•Diverse & Highly Prospective Geology: Including precious and base metals as well as phosphates
