## 5 Conclusions  
The GTA conducted in the central Anti-Atlas, particularly in the Bou Azzer inlier, using high-resolution aeromagnetic data, proved beneficial and allowed us to address several issues. It identified several favorable areas for mineralization, and helped to solve part of the mystery regarding the polarity of the subduction plane.

The geophysical study with GTA in the Bou Azzer nlier revealed the presence of several positive and negative anomalies. The main positive anomaly, occupying the core region of the investigated area, is directly related to serpentinized oceanic rocks, while the other positive anomalies are associated with basic intrusions. The detected negative anomalies are closely related either to quartz diorites or to the Adoudounian sedimentary cover.  
In terms of structural analysis, the investigation conducted using geological and geophysical data was able to confirm the results obtained in previous studies. Several fault families were identified, namely WNW-ESE and ENE-WSW families associated to the Pan-African episode, and the NE-SW family related to the post-orogenic episode, thus confirming the previously mentioned polyphase tectonics.  
Regarding the mineralized structures, this study demonstrates that the vein system is undoubtedly controlled by the NE-SW faults, while the massive mineralization follow the WNW-ESE family. The Bou Azzer nlier lives up to its reputation as a premier metallogenic province, as the conducted study highlighted several zones that showed promising indicators, encouraging future detailed prospecting campaigns to confirm the obtained results.  
The use of findings from previous studies like [20; 24; 57] has proven to be effective, as it has highlighted several promising zones characterized by high structural complexity and strong alterability. We have detected a zone closely related to mantle rocks known for their cobalt enrichment. Another zone has also attracted interest, as it is associated with the basic complex of the Tachdamt-Bleida platform, where a copper mineralization in the form of lenses is present.  
Therefore, we recommend tightening the grid spacing in future geophysical surveys to achieve higher resolution, and conducting reconnaissance drilling in the areas deemed favorable for mineralization. Additionally, we suggest applying other geophysical methods such as gravimetry, electromagnetism, and electrical surveys to accurately cross-reference different geophysical signatures.
