Saudi Arabia has announced significant new mining discoveries beyond its traditional mineral belts, raising the estimated value of the kingdom’s mineral wealth to approximately SR9.375 trillion (about $2.4tn) a 90% increase compared with past estimates. These findings follow comprehensive geological and geophysical surveys of the Arabian Shield, delivering greater clarity on the kingdom’s abundant natural resources and investment potential.
The expanded mineral wealth reflects new deposits of rare earth elements, transition metals, phosphate ore, copper, zinc, gold, and other high-value minerals signifying opportunities for strategic industrial growth and global supply chain integration.
Importantly, several mineral sites were discovered outside traditional mineralized belts, opening new frontiers for exploration and foreign investment across previously untapped regions of the kingdom.
Why This Matters for Investors & Businesses
The discovery of expanded mineral deposits strongly supports Saudi Vision 2030 goals by diversifying the economy and boosting the role of the mining sector in national GDP. The broader range of minerals including critical elements for advanced technologies and energy transition sectors positions Saudi Arabia as a key player in global mineral markets and as a hub for future industrial investment.
