The article focused on Jordan's Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Dr. Saleh Kharabsheh, inspecting the copper mining project in the Abu Khshiba area in the southern part of the country, which is being carried out by Wadi Araba Minerals Company. The project aims to explore and develop copper resources and associated minerals and is considered a strategic initiative to boost the national economy and increase the mining sector’s contribution to the gross domestic product. Studies indicate that current estimates show approximately 20.9 million tons of ore with an average copper concentration of 0.38%, according to the company’s assessments. An independent valuation estimated the resources at around 9.4 million tons with an average concentration of 0.50%. The current phase involves advanced exploration activities and preparing a feasibility study for pilot production, with plans to expand operations in the coming months. The project's outcomes are expected to enhance government revenues and create employment opportunities, with a focus on environmental sustainability and local community development.
