Famous cobalt(-silver) mining district.
NOTE: The spelling "Bou Azzer" is obsolete. The town, district and mines are now officially written "Bou Azer" (Qv).
The roadsigns now use the "Bou Azer" spelling, which is closer to the transcription of the arabic spelling, but the CTT mining company, however, keeps on using the spelling "Bou Azzer" for the district and mines (GF).
