Core Competencies: Leading the Mineral Resource Value Chain

AL-SOR CHARKI’s business scope is divided into three key areas, ensuring proficiency at every stage of the mineral resource value chain:

Advanced Drilling Services: The Foundation of Discovery

Drilling is the essential first step in validating any mineral discovery, and AL-SOR CHARKI operates one of the most capable fleets in the region. Our investment in specialized equipment reflects our commitment to efficiency and accuracy across diverse geological settings.

The current fleet includes 16 Diamond Core Drilling Rigs and 4 Reverse Circulation (RC) Rigs. Diamond core drilling is crucial for retrieving high-quality, intact rock samples necessary for detailed geological analysis and resource modeling. Our RC rigs, conversely, offer a rapid and cost-effective method for initial exploration and bulk sampling.

Our Drilling Services are comprehensive and cover:

• Mineral Exploration: Precisely locating and defining the extent of subsurface mineral deposits, critical for feasibility studies.

• Production Blasting Drilling: Efficient drilling support for commercial mining operations, optimizing material extraction.

• Geotechnical & Groundwater Drilling: Providing vital subsurface data for large-scale civil infrastructure projects (roads, bridges, ports) and supporting water resource investigations.

Geological Exploration & Consulting: Ensuring Global Credibility

Technical excellence in the field must be paired with rigorous compliance and professional reporting. This is where AL-SOR CHARKI’s expertise in international reporting standards becomes invaluable. Our team includes professionals qualified under JORC (Joint Ore Reserves Committee) and NI 43-101 (National Instrument 43-101).

These standards are the global benchmark for publicly reporting mineral resources and reserves, guaranteeing that our exploration results and resource estimates are transparent, trustworthy, and recognized by international financial markets. We offer comprehensive consulting services that span:

• Exploration Program Design: Crafting scientifically sound and cost-effective exploration strategies.

• Resource Modeling & Estimation: Translating drilling data into geological models and calculating resource quantities with accuracy.

• Technical Due Diligence: Providing independent assessments for acquisitions and investments, minimizing risk for stakeholders.

Resource Development and Strategic Partnerships

Moving beyond simple service provision, AL-SOR CHARKI is actively engaged in developing mineral assets within the Kingdom. Our goal is to leverage our exploration insights and capital backing to transform prospective areas into productive mines.

We are consistently pursuing new Exploration Licenses and seeking collaborative opportunities. By forging strong partnerships with both local Saudi entities and experienced international mining houses, we aim to accelerate the development cycle. Our holistic approach ensures that potential projects are evaluated not just on mineral grade, but also on logistical feasibility, capital requirements, and long-term sustainability, creating a robust pipeline of investment-ready projects. This strategic focus is designed to integrate seamlessly with the Kingdom's goal of maximizing the value of its abundant mineral wealth.
