Energy Minister Surveys Abu Khushaybah Copper Project
A detailed coverage of the copper mining project in the Abu Khashiba area in the southern part of the Kingdom of Jordan, carried out by the Wadi Araba Minerals Company. The project aims to explore and develop copper resources along with associated minerals, and includes the establishment of a pilot processing plant for the mineral. It is considered a strategic project to enhance domestic production, attract investments, and create employment opportunities. Current studies have provided varying estimates of the ore resources, reaching approximately 20.9 million tons with an average copper concentration of 0.38%, according to the company's estimates, and 9.4 million tons with a 0.50% concentration based on an independent assessment, with opportunities for expansion through further exploration. The project is currently progressing towards resource evaluation and the design of a pilot plant, with expectations that government revenues will account for between 48% and 50% of potential profits. It represents a major step in supporting the national economy and achieving sustainable development in the southern regions.
