Saudi Arabia has discovered huge deposits of gold and copper ore in the Madinah region.

Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported that the Saudi Geological Survey (SGS), represented by the Survey and Mineral Exploration Centre said that the discoveries of gold deposits were within the boundaries of the Aba Al-Raha in the Madinah region.

The SGS also announced the findings of copper ore, located across four sites in the Al-Madiq area in the same region.

The discoveries are expected to attract local and international investment, which is expected to be up to $533 million reported to Al Arabiya, generating around 4,000 jobs. They are among the latest discoveries this year, which will help grow the kingdom’s mining sector, in line with the goals set out by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s Vision2030 intended to steer the country toward a diversified, post-oil economy.

In July, Saudi Industry and Mineral Resources Minister Khalid Al-Mudaifer said that the kingdom attracted more than $8 billion (30.06 billion Saudi riyals) in foreign direct capital in its mining industry last year, following the passing legislation incentivizing investment in the sector.

At the beginning of 2022, Saudi Arabia said it was looking to attract $170 billion worth of investment in its mining sector by the end of the decade. However, the pace of mine development and exploitation has been slow since Riyadh announced in 2018 that the kingdom’s minerals were worth an estimated $1.3 trillion.
