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
