Government approves southern copper mining
The Jordanian government has reached an executive agreement with the Manaseer Group for energy to mine copper in the Wadi Khaled, Wadi Al-Nukh, Wadi Al-Jariyah, and Wadi Al-Mahash areas in the southern kingdom, covering approximately 78 square kilometers. The project involves developing the exploitation of copper ore deposits estimated to contain around 45 million tons, with some samples showing copper concentrations exceeding 3.5%. The aim of the project is to balance economic benefit from mineral resources with environmental conservation, as underground mining technology will be employed to minimize the impact on natural landmarks. The project’s implementation includes specific technical and environmental studies to obtain the necessary permits, in compliance with environmental regulations, ensuring the sustainable and responsible exploitation of the country's mineral resources.
