Remarks The Phosphate Project aims to exploit a phosphate deposit located in the Al Jalamid site and utilise local natural gas and sulphur resources to manufacture Diammonium Phosphate “DAP”. Processing facilities at the Ras Az Zawr have also been designed with the flexibility to produce Monammonium Phosphate “MAP”, should production of MAP be considered more economically viable. DAP produced by the Phosphate Project will be sold primarily into the international markets. It is anticipated that the project will also produce quantities of ammonia and phosphoric acid not required in the production process, which can be exported or sold domestically.
The Ras Az Zawr site comprises a plot of land 90km north of Jubail on the coast of the Arabian gulf. A segment of the site is proposed to be used for the construction of the integrated chemical and fertilizer facility and related infrastructure for the Phosphate Project. Phosphate concentrate will be transported by rail from the Al Jalamid beneficiation plant to Ras Az Zawr for processing. The phosphate concentrate will be processed in a fertiliser production facility consisting of a phosphoric acid plant, a sulphuric acid plant, an ammonia plant, a DAP granulation plant, a co-generation plant and desalination plant, and other infrastructure.

General

Ma'aden was formed as a Saudi joint stock company on 23 March 1997 (corresponding to 14/11/1417H) for the purpose of facilitating the development of Saudi Arabia’s mineral resources.
To date Ma'aden's activities have focused on its active gold business which has grown in recent years to include the operation of five gold mines: Mahd Ad Dahab, Al Hajar, Sukhaybarat, Bulghah, and Al Amar.
Ma'aden is now expanding its activities beyond its gold business with the development of its Phosphate Project, Aluminium Project, and Other Projects.
In addition, since its formation, Ma'aden (through the Ministry of Petroleum & Mineral Resources) has collaborated with the Government and local legislators to develop a regulatory framework for the governance of the mining industry in Saudi Arabia.
