Bouismas Mine is a small working within the well-known Bou Azzer district, famous for its cobalt and arsenic mineralizations. Geologically, it is located in the Anti-Atlas, with hydrothermal mineralizations associated with serpentinites and ultramafic rocks, where cobalt and nickel arsenides are typical, together with carbonates and secondary alteration minerals.
In this mine, specimens of Silver, Dyscrasite, Allargentum, and various silver sulfosalts also occur, which can reach very high quality.
