Mr. Ali Ahmed Jarhoum, Chairman of the General Investment Authority, met in his office with Mr. Ahmed Yamani Al-Tamimi, Chairman of the Geological Survey and Mineral Resources Authority, to discuss investment opportunities available in the mining sector.

The meeting came within the framework of benefiting from the recent field studies and research carried out by the Geological Survey Authority in recent years, with a focus on minerals and rocks that have become globally necessary in the fields of energy, construction and building.
