Exploration For
A Sustainable Future

About Us

Consolidated Mining Company (CMC) is a limited liability company registered in Saudi Arabia and is a joint venture company between Central Mining Holding Company (CMH); a member of the AlQahtani Holdings group of companies, in Saudi Arabia; and Metal Bank Limited (MBK); a public limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Australia.
Following the award of an Exploration License from the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources in December 2024, CMC is managing and implementing a comprehensive mineral exploration Work Program in KSA.

Area Of Exploration

An exploration license has been awarded for the Wadi Al Junah area. Wadi Al Junah is situated in the far southwest of the Kingdom, covering an area of 425.37 km².
The project is strategically located on the Arabian Plate within the Asir Terrane—a region renowned for its high.
prospectivity in various mineralization styles, notably volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) base metal deposits and shear zone type gold (Au) deposits (SZTGDs). Other areas are under the application process.

Expertise

CMC will integrate modern, practical, and relevant techniques used by MBK to optimize exploration and discovery success, including:
01
Assessing and quantifying existing information and reprocessing magnetic, radiometric, gravimetric, and ASTER data to provide support for mineral system scale and enable identification of high-quality exploration targets for further work.
02
High resolution multi-element geochemical work to assess not only key elements of interest but pathfinder elements and alteration assemblages via fine fraction stream sediments, ionic leach soil sampling to detect targets under cover and more discrete/distal signatures, pXRF for immediate in-field results, whole rock geochemistry for lithogeochemical work, and where required, isotope analysis for oxygen, sulphur, and geochronological work.
03
Regolith mapping and interpretation including geophysical work for the viability of exploration approach.
04
Early diamond drilling into priority targets to provide quality samples for geochemical, petrological, geophysical, geotechnical, and geometallurgical studies.
05
IOGAS software interrogation of existing and company-obtained geochemical data for pathfinder element and alteration analysis prior to 3D interpretation.
06
Ground magnetics and IP/resistivity geophysics, including 3D modeling prior to early drill testing via low-impact slimline RC drilling for basement sampling, to derive high-quality lithogeochemical and metallogenic zonation maps to upgrade drill target confidence.
07
A proprietary AI-driven database to analyze multi-source historical datasets to integrate with satellite and other contemporary data sources to aid target definition.
08
Use of the latest Micromine 3D GIS software to integrate, interpret, and output all relevant and material datasets for a dynamic targeting workspace to aid exploration approaches toward discovery and economic viability.
