The Government of Saudi Arabia, as part of its overall economic strategy, continues to pursue further development of its mineral resources through institutional and fiscal support and other incentives. This country with its relatively sound financial status and fairly stable socio-political setting, offers equitable opportunities to mineral investors, both from within and outside the country, to participate and share in the development of its mineral resources. Saudi Arabia plans to exploit its mineral resources to meet mineral requirements of its fast growing economy and supply the surplus, if any, to the international market. Increased mineral activity is expected in Saudi Arabia in the future.  ISSN : 1319-1047  Journal Name : Engineering Sciences Journal  Volume : 8  Issue Number : 1  Publishing Year : 1416 AH 1996 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Sunday, January 10, 2010  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email محمود علي درويش DARWISH, MAHMOUD ALI Investigator Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  24777.pdf pdf Mineral Resource Potential and Its Development in Saudi Arabia Back To Researches Page
