Safariat Permit
Strategic iron-ore concession within the Reguibat Shield, featuring high-grade BIF ridges and a defined exploration pathway.
Location
Located in northwest Mauritania (Tiris Zemmour). The iron belt trends from the Western Sahara border toward Guelb Zednes (~125 km SE). Sebkha Umm Edrous marks the southern edge; the northern contact is paragneiss with granite/biotite and iron quartzites.
Area
Exploration concession of approximately 20,000 km² (perimeter ~567 km). Iron-bearing ridges extend for ~320 km across the permit. Assays indicate Fe grades of 64–70%.
Geology
Three near-parallel ranges composed of alternating Banded Iron Formation (BIF) and vertical iron quartzites, forming two to five jagged ridges up to ~40 m high. Additional lithologies include pink/biotite granites, amphibolite, microgabbro, migmatite, and pegmatite with rare-element potential.
Status
Historic regional mapping and geochemistry (2001–2006) completed; multi-element anomalies identified. The 2022–2024 plan prioritizes residual-soil geochemistry, structural trenches at tectonic nodes, and shallow scout drilling. Reconnaissance cross-sections executed; industrial minerals under technical/economic review.
