Global Influence and Regional Network: A Two-Pillar Advantage
AL-SOR CHARKI FOR MINING distinguishes itself not just through its equipment or technical skills, but through the strategic architecture that blends proven global execution with deep local intelligence. Our influence is built on a two-pillar model: leveraging the vast, successful international experience of our principal shareholders and establishing an ironclad network of regional strategic partners. This duality de-risks projects and guarantees both world-class standards and rapid market responsiveness within the Middle East.

Less time collecting water means more time in class. Clean water and proper toilets at school means teenage girls don’t have to stay home for a week out of every month.
Our core strength is duality: anchoring in the rapid growth of the Saudi market while leveraging the proven technology, capital, and execution experience gained from world-class projects like Obi Island.
The Global Anchor: Capital, Technology, and Scale
The commitment of our shareholders provides an unparalleled level of backing. Zhejiang Lygend Investment Co., Ltd., holding a 40% stake, is a formidable force in the global battery metals sector. Lygend’s experience is validated by one of the largest and most successful projects of its kind globally: the Obi Island Nickel-Cobalt Project in Indonesia.
This massive, multi-billion-dollar project (valued at over $5B) is a flagship operation that fundamentally reshaped the global Nickel and Cobalt supply chain. By mastering the complex High-Pressure Acid Leaching (HPAL) process on an immense scale, Lygend demonstrates the capacity for large-scale capital deployment, complex project management, and mastery of advanced metallurgical technologies. This proven ability to develop and operate projects from resource extraction to final battery-grade product provides AL-SOR CHARKI with an immense competitive advantage—it signals that we are not merely service providers, but developers capable of seeing a project through to value realization.
Localized Strength and Strategic Partnerships
While global experience sets the standard, local proficiency ensures success. Our 60% shareholder, Tianjin C2 Intelligent Drilling, along with our local Saudi partners (such as Rayyan Resources, Al Rayyan Mining, and Awtad Al Ard), ensures that our operations are seamlessly integrated into the Saudi regulatory and business landscape.
This localized approach is critical for rapid market responsiveness. It allows us to:
Accelerate Permitting and Licensing: Navigate the application processes for exploration and mining licenses efficiently.
Mobilize Resources Quickly: Ensure fast deployment of our drilling fleet and personnel to project sites across the Kingdom.
Build Local Capacity: By focusing on training and establishing a technical, managerial, and execution team directly within Saudi Arabia, we contribute directly to the Vision 2030 goal of localized talent development.
Furthermore, we benefit from key strategic partnerships with international advisors like C2 Mining International (a Vancouver-based consultancy specializing in mining advisory, resource modeling, and technical due diligence) and Wildsky Resources Inc. These partners collectively offer additional expertise in early-stage exploration, mine development, and crucial access to international capital and investor matchmaking.
In essence, AL-SOR CHARKI is engineered to bridge the gap between regional resources and global demand, making us the partner of choice for any entity aiming to capitalize on the enormous, yet complex, opportunities presented by the Middle East's burgeoning mining sector.
