Objectives of the Authority It is to carry out by itself or through others in the Kingdom’s territory, its exclusive economic zone and its continental shelf all the work of surveying and exploration for minerals, developing and developing those works, providing sufficient information on mineral deposits and conducting research and studies related to earth sciences, and for the sake of that - without limitation - the following works : Conducting geological, geochemical, geophysical, and hydrological research, and exploring mineral resources. Using the best means in searching and prospecting for mineral resources. Conducting pre-economic feasibility studies on some promising ores to aid in the mining industry. Classifying and evaluating the geological information of mining resources, preparing reports, various geological maps and other maps related to their work, printing, publishing and storing their data using the computer. Carrying out research and studies on its own or through others, and providing advisory services related to its work and activities to government and private agencies, and it may obtain such services, and it may also participate with companies, bodies, universities, scientific research centers and other entities that carry out similar work.
