A New Frontier: Maaden unearthing Central Arabian Gold Region

Coming to you from the Central Arabian Gold District (CAGR) in Saudi Arabia, Danielle Doporto takes Mining.com.au to the site of the Kingdom’s largest gold mine – Mansourah Massarah.

As official media partners of the Future Minerals Forum 2026, mining.com.au was granted rare access to the flagship gold mine of the Saudi Arabian Mining Company, Ma’aden. 

Highlights include:

  • How Ma’aden is fast tracking production from the Mansourah Massarah resource of 10.4 million ounces of gold.
  • Mansourah Massarah is considered the region’s first ‘digital mine’ thanks to cutting-edge technology deployed in partnership with Hexagon.
  • As new discoveries and growing resources abound in this frontier mining region, what is the main obstacle to exponential growth? 

Ma’aden (Saudi Arabian Mining Company) is a founding partner and major sponsor of the annual Future Minerals Forum (FMF) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
