Kasbah entered into an agreement with ONHYM (ONHYM was formed through the merger of the Office National de Recherches et d’Exploitations Petrolieres and the BRPM) during the year to acquire the Tamlalt gold deposit, located at the eastern end of the Moroccan High Atlas Mountains, about 300 km south of the town of Oujda. The Tamlalt gold deposit mining property is covered by eight exploration permits covering a total surface area of 128 km2.

At Tamlalt ONHYM has completed preliminary exploration work including 33 diamond drill holes totaling 7,019m. The ONHYM drilling shows that the Tamlalt deposit consists of a multiple-veined quartz system developed within a chlorite-sericite altered folded porphyritic body. Within the 400m of strike length that has so far been drill-tested, gold mineralization has been intersected to within 12m of the surface and to a maximum depth of 360m vertical from surface.

The Tamlalt Project has the potential to provide an open pit gold resource together with an associated underground target.
