Unleashing the Potential of Mining in the Sultanate

"Our industrialists have to exploit the country's natural resources and raw materials to be manufactured locally in order to support the national economy, as this will lead to further exploration activities, which in turn will provide job opportunities across the country and achieve prosperity for Oman."
The late leader Sultan Qaboos bin Said


Chairman's Message

Today, MDO continues to build on Oman's rich mining heritage, utilizing all the resources available to create a sustainable future for Oman, while taking into consideration Oman's 2040 vision laid out by His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik - May God Protect Him.
