Many global mining experts predict that at current consumption rates, the planet's economy over the next 70 years will undermine the current known reserves, which are likely to consume half of the world's current metals. Shortly, increasing dependence on essential mineral imports, plus global competition for scarce resource resources, will increase prices and bargain for exporting countries.

Most applications of this metal today have only been developed in the last two or three decades. This trend is likely to continue. As our society needs more advanced and safer materials, our use of gold increases. This growing demand, low number of alternatives and limited supply makes the value and importance of gold increase gradually and steadily.

Zinc is found in several ores, the principal ones being zinc blende (zinc sulfide) and calamine (zinc silicate). The principal mining areas are in China, Australia and Peru. Commercially, zinc is obtained from its ores by concentrating and roasting the ore, then reducing it to zinc by heating with carbon or by electrolysis. World production is more than 11 million tonnes a year.

When the concentration of aluminum in the environment increases, it has severe effects on human health. Water-soluble aluminum is dangerous. Particles of aluminum that dissolve in water are called ionic particles, for example, aluminum chloride. Other ways to increase the amount of aluminum in the body are to breathe and make skin-to-skin contact with aluminum.

The copper is commonly found in nature along with sulfur. Generally, it is produced from a multi-stage process that starts from mining and concentrate of low-value copper ore sulfide ore and after melting and electrolytic purification produces pure copper cathode. Increasing the share of copper in acid washing of metal oxide metal is obtained.

Saudi Arabia possesses more mineral resources than any other country in the Gulf region. The soil in Saudi Arabia is rich in gold, copper, phosphate, and a wide array of industrial minerals. With some of the world’s largest reserves of phosphate and tantalum, and up to 20 Moz of gold in known deposits, Saudi Arabia is becoming a significant market for mineral extraction and processing which provide manufacturing opportunities to develop high value products for the growing demand of several advanced industries such as automotive, aerospace, solar and oil & gas. In fact, Saudi Arabia proclaimed the mining industry into the “third pillar” of the Saudi economy after oil and The Deputy Ministry for Mineral Resources (DMMR) has identified 1,273 sites for precious metals and 1,171 sites for non-precious metals. Minerals discovered in Saudi Arabia include phosphate; bauxite; bentonite; copper; dolomite; expandable clay; feldspar and nepheline syenite; garnet; gold; zinc; granite; graphite; gypsum; tantalum; high grade silica sand; kaolinitic clays; limestone; magnesium; marble; olivine; pozzolan; rock wool; silver; and zeolites. Development of mineral wealth is creating significant infrastructure demands including the building of the 1,300 kilometers North-South Railway Project, estimated at US$3-4 billion, linking the mining and processing in areas such as the Al-Jawf phosphate mine, via Al-Zabirah, to Riyadh, then to Jubail. A combination of Government support to investors, low cost energy for output processing and ongoing development of transport infrastructure place Saudi Arabia as an attractive mining destination. Additionally, the mining sector in Saudi Arabia offers a wide array of investment opportunities for global companies operating across the mining value chain. Saudi Arabia has invested over $40 billion in fully integrated mining value chains in partnership with the private sector to build on its rich mineral resources. In addition to significant production in precious and base metals, a mine to metal aluminium value and phosphate production has propelled the Kingdom to become the third largest global supplier of fertilizer. According to the Saudi Arabia Investment Authority SAGIA , Saudi Arabia is the world’s 19th largest economy, a member of the G20 and the largest economy in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region with the third-biggest current account surplus in the world.
