As of 2023, coal dominated Morocco's reserves at 105.8 million short tons recoverable. It also held 0.001 billion barrels of oil and 0.051 trillion cubic feet of gas. Over the last decade, coal reserves jumped in a single restatement (7-fold in 2014). EIA stopped publishing oil and gas proved reserves in 2023; the figures above use the latest archived release, while coal continues to update through 2023. Beyond fossil fuels, Morocco is a top-five producer of Phosphate Rock, part of a critical-minerals base spanning 2 commodities tracked by USGS.

Morocco's reserve base was dominated by coal, the most carbon-intensive fossil fuel by energy content. As the world's largest reserves of Phosphate Rock, Morocco is a strategically important supplier in global critical-minerals markets. Phosphate Rock output has expanded materially since 1994, deepening that role.
Morocco produces Cobalt and Phosphate Rock among USGS-tracked critical minerals.
USGS marks 2025 production figures and all reserve estimates as estimated; some earlier production years are USGS estimates as well. Each commodity below charts its own mine-production history, with the 2025 reserve shown beneath its chart.
