Gold Mines Discovered in Makkah Increase opportunities for the Saudi’s Jewellery Industry

Saudi Arabia’s recent announcement of significant gold reserves in the Makkah region has caused a lot of excitement in the mining industry and and this is extremely positive for businesses in the jewellery sector. The discovery, made by the Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Maaden), extends over a 100 km area to the south of the Mansourah Massarah gold mine in the Al Khurmah governorate of the Makkah region.

Discovery and its Implications:

 Maaden’s exploration initiatives, which commenced in 2022, have yielded significant results with the discovery of these large gold resources. Digging in the Uruq South area, which shares geological similarities with the Mansourah Massarah deposit, has produced positive results, revealing high-grade gold at 10.4 g/t and 20.6 g/t in certain spots close to Mansourah Massarah.

These discoveries create opportunities for the region’s gold mining industry to grow. They also strengthen domestic jewellery manufacturing. In addition, they reduce the need for raw material imports. Maaden’s plans to increase drilling activities around Mansourah Massarah in 2024 show a focused effort on further exploration and development.
