The Mazoon Copper Project, a cornerstone of Oman’s mining sector, encompasses five open-pit mines with reserves estimated at 22.9 million tons of copper ore. At its heart lies a state-of-the-art ore processing plant, spanning 56,000 sq m, with an annual processing capacity of 2.5 million tons of copper ore. The facility is designed to produce 115,000 tons of copper concentrate per year, achieving a purity of 21.5%. This landmark project not only underscores MDO’s dedication to advancing Oman’s mining industry but also aligns with the nation’s broader economic diversification goals, setting a benchmark for sustainable resource development.
