Mining FAQ

Yes. The new Mining Investment Law allows 100% foreign ownership of mining licenses. MISA issues the investment license, and the Ministry of Industry (MIM) issues the concession.
The Arabian Shield is a geological formation in western Saudi Arabia rich in precious and base metals (Gold, Copper, Zinc). It is the primary target for exploration investment.
An Exploration License is valid for up to 5 years and can be renewed for a maximum of 15 years, giving ample time for feasibility studies.
Mining companies are subject to the standard 20% Corporate Income Tax. However, there are significant incentives, including duty-free import of equipment and machinery.
