The northern part of the Moroccan meseta is characterized by a number of deposits or showings of tin and tungsten. They are spatially associated with the Hercynian granitic massifs. The magmatic activity of the North-Mesetian basement is characterized by the establishment in the West and in the center of important granite intrusions: Zaër, Ment, Oulmès, of several pointings of lesser importance: Moulay Bouazza, Aouam, Oued Beht and massifs, still in a hypothetical state, such as the buried granite of Achemmèche (El Hammam). This magmatic activity has led to the establishment of stanno-wolfamiferous mineralization locally of economic importance. This comparative study presents a synthesis of the stanno-wolframiferous occurrences of Hercynian Central Morocco. The study focused on the mineralization of five localities representing the main Sn-W mineralized districts of Central Hercynian Morocco (Oulmès, Zaër, Ment, El Hammam, and Aouam). The characteristics of each of these mineralized occurrences are described before establishing a comparative synthesis given by way of conclusion. It specifies the similarities and differences between the different granite stocks of Central Morocco by identifying the points of analogy and difference of the Sn-W mineralized sites of Hercynian Central Morocco.

The northern part of the Moroccan meseta is characterized by a number of deposits or showings of tin and tungsten. They are spatially associated with the Hercynian granitic massifs. The magmatic activity of the North-Mesetian basement is characterized by the establishment in the West and in the center of important granite intrusions: Zaër, Ment, Oulmès, of several pointings of lesser importance: Moulay Bouazza, Aouam, Oued Beht and massifs, still in a hypothetical state, such as the buried granite of Achemmèche (El Hammam). This magmatic activity has led to the establishment of stanno-wolfamiferous mineralization locally of economic importance. This comparative study presents a synthesis of the stanno-wolframiferous occurrences of Hercynian Central Morocco. The study focused on the mineralization of five localities representing the main Sn-W mineralized districts of Central Hercynian Morocco (Oulmès, Zaër, Ment, El Hammam, and Aouam).

Abstract: (french)
La partie septentrionale de la méseta marocaine est caractérisée par un certain nombre de gisements ou d’indices d’étain et de tungstène. Ils sont spatiallement associés aux massifs granitiques hercyniens. L’activité magmatique du socle Nord-mésetien est caractérisée par la mise en place à l’Ouest et au centre d’importantes intrusions granitiques: Zaër, Ment, Oulmès, de plusieurs pointements de moindre importance: Moulay Bouazza, Aouam, Oued Beht et de massifs, encore à l’état hypothétique, comme le granite enfoui d’Achemmèche (El Hammam). Cette activité magmatique a engendré la mise en place d’une minéralisation stanno-wolfamifère localement d’importance économique. Cette étude comparative présente une synthèse des occurrences stanno-wolframifères du Maroc Central hercynien. L’étude a porté sur la minéralisation de cinq localités représentant les principaux districts minéralisés en Sn-W du Maroc Central hercynien (Oulmès, Zaër, Ment, El Hammam, et Aouam). Les caractéristiques de chacune de ces occurrences minéralisées sont décrites avant l’établissement d’une synthèse comparative donnée en guise de conclusion. Elle précise les similitudes et les différences entre des différents stocks granitiques du Maroc Central en dégageant les points d’analogie et de différence des sites minéralisés en Sn-W du Maroc Central hercynien.
Author Keywords: Maroc Central, Granite, occurrence stanno-wolframières.
