Taken together, the positive exploration results identified the potential area of 125 km with high expectations to become a major gold belt by international standards in Saudi Arabia, where exploration results close to Mansoura and Masarra indicate that resources are available in depth and along the region, which predicts an abundance of wealth in the mine, with the potential to extend the life of the mine by underground development.
It is noteworthy that the volume of gold resources in Mansoura and Masarra is about 7 million ounces at the end of 2023 with a production capacity of 250,000 ounces per year.
