The article discusses the efforts of authorities in Hadhramawt to combat illegal mining, which is widespread in the mountainous areas and wadis east and west of the province. The miners dig into the earth using traditional methods to extract gold and other minerals in a random and destructive manner, damaging archaeological sites and graves. These activities have led to regional conflicts and murder incidents between tribes and miners over control rights of the mountains and land. The Geological Survey confirmed that reports about discovering gold mines in the Al-Maadi area are false, and field test results showed no presence of gold there. The sediments consist of various rock formations such as sandstone, carbonate, and claystones, with indications of aqueous transformation activity and mineral deposits, but these are not signs of a genuine gold mine. The authority warned against tampering with mineral resources and emphasized the need for official permits to prevent the export of raw materials from the region. Meanwhile, security agencies continue their efforts to stop violations and apprehend illegal activities that threaten the country's resources and exacerbate conflicts.
