Saudi Arabia opened a bidding round for three mineral exploration licences across a 13,000 square km area, the Industry and Mineral Resources Ministry said in a statement on Monday, as the kingdom accelerates efforts to tap deposits estimated at 9.4 trillion riyals ($2.50 trillion).
The licences cover newly defined belts in the regions of Madinah, Makkah, Riyadh, Qassim and Hail, including areas prospective for gold, silver, copper, zinc and lead.
