Saudi Arabia is driving the long-term supply of critical for its domestic market while increasingly opening to international investors. New mining laws make market entry easier and promote, aiming to establish the sector as the third pillar of the Saudi economy.
With untapped resources worth $2.5 trillion – including gold, silver, zinc, copper, iron, bauxite (for aluminum), and phosphate (for fertilizers) – the Kingdom holds vast potential.
Since 2020, over #250 exploration licenses and 34 mining licenses have been awarded, with more to come.
For German companies, numerous opportunities are emerging, particularly in providing technologies and equipment for new exploration projects and metal processing.
The Future Minerals Forum was an excellent opportunity for the German companies to highlight their Mining Technology, Services and Equipment.
Our Delegate Dr. Dalia Samra-Rohte together with the German Ambassador, H.E. Michael Kindsgrab visited the German exhibitors during the forum. The German-Saudi Arabian Liaison Office for Economic Affairs (GESALO) is happy to support German companies in the Saudi mining sector.
