Jabal Baudan: a foothold in
mining's newest frontier.
Awarded in June 2025 and expanded through a joint venture with Amaar in May 2026: Power Metallic holds the Jabal Baudan exploration license 100% through Power Metallic Arabia — more than 200 square kilometres in the Arabian Shield's Jabal Sayid belt, ground known for volcanogenic massive sulphide copper, gold and zinc.
A country building a mining
industry from a standing start.
Power Metallic was invited by the Kingdom to see the buildout firsthand. What it found was a rare setup: world-class geology, sovereign capital, and almost no drilling history.
The Kingdom has decided to make mining its third industry after oil & gas and tourism — a state-level commitment with state-level resources behind it.
Nationwide geophysical surveys and an open digital exploration database mean explorers start with targeting data most countries never collect.
The Arabian Shield hosts world-class deposits yet has seen a fraction of the drilling of comparable Precambrian belts — the gap Power Metallic Arabia is there to work.
Good neighbours,
familiar geology.
Jabal Baudan sits in the belt named for the operating Jabal Sayid copper mine, with the promising Umm ad Damar deposit in the same trend. The target style is volcanogenic massive sulphide: dense polymetallic lenses that — like NISK's orthomagmatic family — rarely come alone.
The license covers more than 200 km² of this ground, held 100% through Power Metallic Arabia.
