The Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, in partnership with the Ministry of Investment, recently hosted a webinar aimed at introducing leading British mining companies to investment opportunities in Saudi Arabia’s growing mineral exploration sector.
This initiative is part of the Kingdom’s broader strategy to accelerate resource development and attract top-tier global investors. The virtual event drew 70 participants from a wide range of UK-based mining firms, underscoring the increasing interest in Saudi Arabia’s evolving mining landscape.
Attendees were presented with details on the 2025 exploration program, which targets high-potential geological zones across the country. Key highlights included Saudi Arabia’s streamlined licensing procedures, extensive geological data, and a robust support framework for investors. The session also outlined a suite of incentives designed to facilitate and encourage international investment in the sector.
Central to the discussion was the ministry’s plan to offer exploration licenses for mining areas spanning over 50,000 square kilometers in 2025. This major initiative, originally unveiled at the fourth Future Minerals Forum in January 2025, is expected to significantly expand exploration efforts and attract greater foreign investment.
The webinar supports Saudi Arabia’s ongoing efforts to position mining as a cornerstone of economic diversification under Vision 2030, reinforcing its commitment to unlocking the full potential of the Kingdom’s mineral wealth.
