ONHYM summary of Manganese potential (2011)

The manganese showing at Jbel Metsila is located about ten kilometers south of Oujda. It occurs in the form of nodules and lenses of manganese oxide and iron that are hosted in the red clays of the Permo-Triassic. The outcrop appears to have a width of over 600m and extend about 15 km, hidden by Neogene cover.
