Abstract
This note is a reply to the « Comment on The Cu-Pb-Zn-bearing veins of the Bou Skour deposit (Eastern Anti-Atlas, Morocco): structural control and tectonic evolution » by Hmidou El Ouardi et al., published in Comptes Rendus Géoscience in Volume 354, 2022, pages 119–123 (https://doi.org/10.5802/crgeos.115). It concerns the article « The Cu-Pb-Zn-bearing veins of the Bou Skour deposit (Eastern Anti-Atlas, Morocco): structural control and tectonic evolution » by Aabi et al., published online on May 04, 2021, in Comptes Rendus Geoscience in Volume 353, 2021, pages 81–99 (https://doi.org/10.5802/crgeos.54).
Highlights
We thank El Ouardi et al [2022] for the attention they paid to our work on the Bou Skour mineralization and for the discussion they initiated through their comment
Our valuable colleagues have been alarmed by the alleged equivalence between the model we presented for the Bou Skour polymetallic deposit [Aabi et al, 2021] and the model they had previously presented for part of the Bou Skour deposit, namely the Patte d’Oie district [El Ouardi et al, 2016]
El Ouardi et al [2022] claim that their proposed structural model of the Bou Skour veins emplacement was omitted [El Ouardi et al, 2016] or appears to have been misunderstood and not cited enough
Summary
We thank El Ouardi et al [2022] for the attention they paid to our work on the Bou Skour mineralization and for the discussion they initiated through. Our valuable colleagues have been alarmed by the alleged equivalence between the model we presented for the Bou Skour polymetallic deposit [Aabi et al, 2021] and the model they had previously presented for part of the Bou Skour deposit, namely the Patte d’Oie district [El Ouardi et al, 2016]. We try to answer point-by-point to the comments by El Ouardi et al [2022], arguing for the validity of our findings and data, and providing opportunities to clarify some controversial ideas
