- The Canada-based mining firm has recently employed six women in the Jabal Sayid Mine 鈥� a rural mine
Barrick Gold, a global mining company, is aiming to forge a strong relationship with Saudi-based Ma鈥檃den, its CEO Mark Bristow said in a press briefing.
While Barrick is mainly interested in gold and copper, Bristow added any other metals they will find in the Kingdom will be transferred to Ma鈥檃den.
鈥淥ur commitment is to build a strong partnership with Ma鈥檃den in our endeavor to develop world-class business in 抖阴短视频,鈥� Bristow said.
In what he termed as a 鈥渃ritical milestone,鈥� the Canada-based mining firm has recently employed six women in the Jabal Sayid Mine 鈥� a rural mine. Three of those women were from the local community and one was an engineer.
He also said production at that site rose by 50 percent while costs declined to increase efficiency.
He added the Arabian Shield 鈥� located in the western part of the Kingdom at the Red Sea Coast 鈥� is a very large, 鈥渆ffectively unexplored鈥� area for potential mining.
鈥湺兑醵淌悠� has amazing data, but no one鈥檚 really processed it. That鈥檚 why it鈥檚 attractive for us because the path to new opportunities is much shorter in this terrain and it would be a much more mature terrain geologically,鈥� the South African businessman explained.
On the other side of the Red Sea, the Nubian Shield offers similar opportunities. He described Egypt鈥檚 Sukari gold mine as a 鈥渢ier-one鈥� asset and one of the largest gold deposits in the world.
