Recently, China Geological Survey, China Geological Survey and Saudi Geological Survey formally signed a contract for fine geological mapping of the Saudi Arabian Shield.

Saudi Arabian Shield Fine Geological Mapping Project

The Saudi Arabian Shield Fine Geological Mapping Project is the world's largest commercial geological survey project since the 21st century. The successful implementation of the project is the most brilliant cooperation achievement since China Geological and Mineral Resources and China Geological Survey Bureau jointly developed the Saudi Arabia Regional Geological Survey Series Project in 2019. It is a milestone, and it is an important deepening and development of the strategic cooperative relationship between the two sides. It is also an important measure for the two sides to actively participate in the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative between China and Saudi Arabia and the Saudi Vision 2030.

As one of the specific implementers of the project, China Geology and Mining, a subsidiary of China Geology, will aim to promote mineral exploration and search for new ore-forming geological bodies, based on the theory of plate tectonics, and adopt the most advanced lithostratigraphy. In the next 11 years, Within a short period of time, through geological interpretation of aerial remote sensing images combined with comprehensive research on ground surveys, 1:100,000 regional geological mapping was carried out in the entire Arabian Shield area of 588,000 square kilometers, and 271 high-quality geological maps were finally submitted to the Saudi Geological Survey diagrams, accompanying manuals and databases.

It is understood that at the historical moment when the China-Saudi Arabia Summit was successfully held and China-Saudi Arabia relations entered a new stage of development, China Geology will further fulfill the responsibility of central enterprises, seize the important opportunity to deeply participate in the series of basic geological survey projects in Saudi Arabia, and take the project as the lead, Consolidate and promote the diversified and high-quality development in the Saudi mining market, take responsibility and forge ahead, and make new and greater contributions to enhancing the friendship between China and Saudi Arabia and continuously expanding the cooperation achievements of the joint construction of the Belt and Road.
