The Moroccan government has unveiled a huge proven reserve of more than 39 million tons of tin raw material at the Achmash mine near Meknes, making it among the largest untapped deposits of this mineral in the world.

Tin is mainly used in the electronic and mechanical industries, in addition to its entry into the food industry "metal packaging", the manufacture of high-performance alloys such as bronze, as well as its role in the manufacture of flat glass.

Geological and technical data show that the Australian company relied on advanced exploration techniques, including geochemical survey and diamond drilling, which allowed the expansion of drilling to new areas, especially in Sidi Adi, where 18 deep drilling operations were carried out that revealed promising extensions of mineral deposits.
