HISTORY
Long Journey Of Project Developement
A JOURNEY OF EXPLORATION, INNOVATION & EXCAVATION
The history of AMAK goes back to 1967, when the mineral deposits were first discovered during an aerial survey conducted under the supervision of Mr. Hatem Al-Khalidi.Later, in 1979, an international geological and mining consultant company (Watts Griffith) was hired to carry out field development and excavation work. After developing economic feasibility studies, 3,700m of underground tunnels were developed. A 20,000-meter diamond drill and 168 holes were also bored during the process. In 1993, Arab American Shield Development Company was granted a mining concession under Royal Decree No. (M / 17) dated 1/7/1413 AH. In 2008, Al Masane Al Kobra (Amak) Mining Co. was established to develop the project to investment and production.
