Abstract
Structural and metallogenic studies of the Ifri copper deposit (western Hig h Atlas, Morocco) demonstrate that a great part of the mineralization was l inked to a stockwork developed during a Late-Variscan NNW-verging shearing event. With this significant result, the until now accepted syngenetic char acter for this mineralization has to be reconsidered and allows to suggest a new guide of prospection for this kind of deposit.
