Saudi Arabia eyes lucrative high-demand minerals

Sydney: Saudi Arabia aims to establish mutually beneficial partnerships with Australian and other major mining sector stakeholders to access the country’s $1.3 trillion-worth high-demand minerals, said Engineer Khaled Al Mudaifer, the Vice-Minister for Mining Affairs.

 

"A key objective of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 is the diversification of the kingdom’s economy, spreading sustainable development to all regions and creating quality job opportunities for the Saudi youth," said Mudaifer at Australia’s leading mining industry event, the International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC), being held in Sydney, Australia.
