Mining investments reached $11.7 billion (SR44 billion) in 2025, with mining exploitation licenses jumping by 220% . The sector is aimed at contributing SAR 97 billion ($25.8 billion) to GDP by 2030, with a long-term goal of unlocking $2.5 trillion in untapped mineral resources.New gold and copper discoveries in the western Arabian Shield have boosted potential, with mining operations expanding.
The Kingdom has opened up thousands of square kilometers for tender in 2026 to encourage exploration,Saudi Arabia is actively strengthening ties with the US and other countries, focusing on critical minerals, supply chains, and technology transfers.
