(CMO), a producing copper mine in Morocco's Eastern Anti-Atlas from Managem S.A., supported by a US$25 million convertible loan note from Orion Resource Partners and a US$5 million equity subscription term sheet, though the deal was ultimately cancelled on 24 December 2024 with ongoing funding exploration for the remaining consideration.
