Government signs second copper deal
The Jordanian Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Saleh Khour Absha, and Ziad Al Manaseer, President of Al Manaseer Group for Energy, signed a second executive agreement for copper mining in the southern part of the kingdom, covering an area of approximately 78 square kilometers. The agreement aims to develop a copper extraction project utilizing underground mining methods rather than open-pit mining, with a strong emphasis on environmental protection and biodiversity conservation. Initial data indicates copper concentrations of up to 1.36% within the geological formations, with an estimated reserve of 45 million tons of ore, which could produce between 500,000 and 600,000 tons of pure copper. The company will undertake detailed technical and environmental studies to determine the economically feasible extractable quantities and concentration levels, supporting the national economy and sustainable development.
