Bleïda mining district; Bleïda Mines
The area shows extreme variation in sulfur isotope variation varying from -45.6 to +46.8 per mil.
Mining activity began in the Middle Ages, with modern copper prospecting starting in 1962 and major activity occurring from 1971 to 1997. Following the development of new deposits and the implementation of novel processing methods, the mine was reopened in 2008 and has continued to operate to the present day.
The Bleïda geological series consists of four units: (i) stromatolitic limestone and quartzite unit, (ii) basalt unit, (iii) shale unit, and (iv) sandy shale unit. Volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) mineralization in the Bleïda district is represented by three types of mineralization. Firstly, polymetallic massive copper sulfides are associated with the basic magmatic part of the volcanoclastic unit. Secondly, there are indications of pyritic polymetallic massive sulfides, which take the form of lenticular bodies. Thirdly, there are indications of ferromanganese closely linked to the volcanic facies. Copper is mainly found in sulfide minerals (bornite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, and chalcocite), carbonate minerals (malachite, azurite, and cuprite), and silicate minerals such as chrysocolla. Currently, the mining district comprises several deposits, with the most important being Bleïda Centre, Jbel Laassel, Jbel N’zourk, Ait Abdellah, and Takroumt. Nowadays, ore is extracted from all these deposits using the open pit mining method.
