Maaden is Saudi Arabia’s engine of industrial transformation and one of the world’s top ten mining giants by market cap and fastest growing globally. We’re building the future of mining, creating fully integrated value chains across gold, phosphate, bauxite, copper and beyond.
Maaden’s new era of growth is at pace and scale unlike anything the industry has ever seen. We’re doubling gold production by 2030, investing SAR 420 billion ($112 billion) through 2040 and scaling world-class projects that will redefine what’s possible for Saudi mining. This isn’t evolution; it’s transformation at speed, at scale and with purpose.
Since going public in 2008, Maaden has invested over SAR 120 billion ($32 billion) to build large-scale, long-life, cost-competitive operations that deliver both world-class products and strong returns. We help power Saudi Vision 2030 by making mining a key pillar of a diversified and sustainable economy beyond oil.
We’re creating new industries, new jobs and new opportunities. With a team of over 8,000 people, Maaden is writing the next chapter of industrial progress in Saudi Arabia.
Join us as we shape the future of mining and unearth tomorrow, together.
