Many of these commodities are widely recognised as being at the\nstart of a supply and demand super cycle.\n\nCMR's flagship asset is the Agadir Melloul copper-silver project in the\nWestern Anti-Atlas of Morocco. It lies approximately 250km south-west of\nMarrakech and 240km from the deep-water port and industrial zone of Agadir. In\nAugust 2025, CMR signed a definitive joint venture agreement with Coppernicus\nMining Company SARL AU to earn a 60% interest in six permits covering\napproximately 65km². CMR currently holds a 50% contractual interest in three\nof these permits and 20% in the remaining three. A mining licence and an\nenvironmental permit for extraction were awarded in Q1 2026. A maiden JORC\nMineral Resource Estimate is expected in Q4 2026. It will cover only around\n5–6% of the current permit area, and CMR also holds exclusivity over\nadditional ground for future acquisitions.\n\nCMR is building a diversified portfolio of high-quality metals exploration and\ndevelopment projects in Morocco, focusing on copper, silver and potentially\nother critical minerals and metals. CMR identified Morocco as an ideal\nmining-friendly jurisdiction that meets its acquisition and operational\ncriteria. The country is perfectly located to supply raw materials to Europe\nand possesses excellent prospective geology, good infrastructure and\nattractive permitting, tax and royalty conditions.
