Discovery Potential Across the Arabian Shield

AL Rayyan Mining Company currently holds five exploration license applications strategically located in Afif and Asir terranes, two of Saudi Arabia’s most geologically prospective zones. These licenses lie along major regional structures associated with gold and base metal mineralization, and are positioned near known artisanal workings and historical anomalies
While still in the pre-license stage, each application has been selected based on geological merit, structural setting, and proximity to past production or large-scale exploration activity.

1. Bir Jarbuah Block (Afif Terrane)

2. Bir Mustajid Block (Afif Terrane)

Size: 18.69 km²

Commodities: Gold

Features:

Altered metavolcanics and metasediments with strong iron-staining; isolated workings

Geological Setting and Mineralization in Bin Nurah- 23737

The mineralization is structurally controlled, occurring within tensional Riedel-type fractures, shear zones, and veins developed in both intrusive and metamorphic host rocks. These structures acted as conduits for hydrothermal fluids, resulting in the deposition of polymetallic mineral assemblages, including silver-, lead-, zinc-, and copper-bearing phases, commonly associated with quartz veins and zones of hydrothermal alteration.

Geological Setting and Mineralization in Bi'r Marra 34378

The quartz vein-type mineralization consists of gold-bearing quartz lenses that cut through the same volcanosedimentary rocks that host the gossan deposits. In this type, gold is primarily found within the massive quartz veins, with lower grades or absence in the surrounding altered host rocks. The regional geological structure of the area is marked by north-south aligned schistosity. The gold-bearing quartz veins often exhibit a northeast trend, potentially related to regional shearing.

Our Exploration Philosophy

We believe in early entry, regional-scale targeting, and building strong technical foundations that make our projects attractive for future JV or investment.
