Acknowledgments

The authors express their sincere gratitude to the mining engineer and expert from the Office National des Mines (ONM) Hedi Karim Chakroun for his valuable guidance on the collection of the samples of El Akhouat. His insightful comments on this manuscript have improved its quality. We are also grateful to Professor and former Director General of ONM Nouri Hatira for reviewing and examining both this manuscript and the first author’s Mémoire d’Habiltation Universitaire (Jemmali 2023) which contained the El Akhouat mine study. His valuable input greatly improved the quality of this manuscript. The authors also extend their thanks to Jean Jacques Orgeval, a former mining engineer of Bou Grine, for providing suggestions that helped enhance the quality of this manuscript. We also extend our thanks to the Editor-in-Chief Lutz Nasdala for handling our manuscript.
