MDO Completes Major Geophysical Surveys to Boost Mining Potential in Oman


Minerals Development Oman (MDO) announced on Wednesday the completion of comprehensive airborne geophysical surveys across seven of its concession areas. These areas are located in the governorates of al Buraimi, North and South al Batinah, North al Sharqiyah, al Dahira, and al Dakhiliya. The surveys aimed to collect geophysical data, including magnetic, radiometric, electromagnetic, and gravity measurements. This data is vital for enhancing geological knowledge both at the surface and at depth, which will help identify potential mineral anomalies. These anomalies will undergo further testing to pinpoint mineral ores.

Eng. Nasser Saif al Maqbali, CEO of MDO, said, "These geophysical surveys play a crucial role in supporting MDO's efforts to attract direct foreign investment and secure mining partnerships. The results will provide us with accurate information on Oman's mining potential, helping us build a robust mining portfolio. Additionally, the data will serve as a valuable resource for researchers and those interested in geology and mining."
