About Project
West Ad Duwayhi is awarded under Bid Round 9, situated within the highly prospective Nabitah-Duwayhi Belt of the Arabian Shield. The license covers an area of 206.38 km² in the southwestern region of Saudi Arabia, approximately 500 km east of Jeddah and about 12 km west of Duwayhi Gold Mine.
The project area lies at approximately 22.374836°N latitude and 43.105397°E longitude, with an average elevation of ~900 m above sea level.
The project is currently at the reconnaissance exploration stage, focusing on initial geological assessment and regional evaluation. Field operations commenced immediately following license award, with the exploration team conducting daily on-site activities.
Limited artisanal workings have been identified in some parts of the license area, indicating small-scale gold exploitation and supporting the prospectivity of the block.
ND1, 3 and 7 represents a strategically located greenfield opportunity within a well-established orogenic gold terrane, forming a strong foundation for systematic surface evaluation and future target generation.
