LONDON: Saudi Arabia participated in the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada convention, held March 1 – 4, highlighting exploration and mining opportunities in the Kingdom built on vast geological data and supported by a reformed regulatory framework.
On the sidelines of the conference, Deputy Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources for Mineral Resources Management Abdulrahman Al-Belushi delivered keynote remarks at the Saudi Showcase titled “KSA: The Future Hub for Global Mineral Processing,” highlighting the Kingdom’s transformation from an emerging jurisdiction to a top global mining destination.
Al-Belushi emphasized that Saudi Arabia’s $2.5 trillion mineral wealth, modern regulatory framework, transparent licensing rounds, large-scale geological mapping program covering 700,000 km² of the Arabian Shield, and its world-class mine-to-market facilities provide a strong foundation for global investors seeking long-term opportunities across the mining sector, SPA reported.
During his participation at the International Mines Ministers Summit (IMMS), Al-Belushi highlighted the importance of global partnerships to meet rising mineral demand and shared details of the Future Minerals Forum’s Ministerial Roundtable Initiative, which promotes economic development, responsible supply, and capacity building across the mining sector.
