The compilation of 30 years of industrial and scientific advances in the knowledge of Moroccan mineral deposits leads to a synthetic overview of their position in space and time. Six successive metallogenic hydrothermal events can be distinguished from the Neoproterozoic to present day, each of them associated with a particular geodynamic context. Exploration strategies in Morocco must take into account the fundamental characteristics of the existing mineral deposit as exposed here. Particularly relevant would be : (i) the high potential of the Precambrian-Cambrian transition and associated high K, calk-alkaline to alkaline magmatism rooted in the lower crust and/or the mantle, allowing large inputs of juvenile fluids and metals in the uppe...
