Who we are
A global mining contractor, built for the region
Our position
We run mines for their owners. We do not own them. Corica Group is an international contract mining-services company — global standards, delivered in-country — and the Middle East is the next regional platform for that proven operating model.
Corica is establishing its Middle East platform to bring two decades of Group operating discipline into one of the world's fastest-growing mining jurisdictions. Saudi Vision 2030 has made mining the third pillar of the economy; Oman is re-entering the global copper market; Jordan and Saudi Arabia hold vast phosphate and gold reserves. These are active orebodies that need a contractor with the discipline to run them well, and the in-country programmes to build lasting national capability while doing it. That is the platform being established here: legal entities, local leadership, hiring pipelines, supplier relationships, fleet mobilisation planning and safety governance — established in Dubai, with Riyadh opening.
Local Value
We hire locally and train deliberately, building lasting national capability — aligned to Saudization, Omanization and In-Country Value programmes.
Commercial discipline
A reporting model tailored to each contract — its type, commodity, scope and client requirements — with cost transparency where appropriate. No soft metrics.
Partnership
We work alongside your team for the life of the contract — same cadence, same KPIs, same visibility.

Proven by the Group. Adapted for the region.
The services described here are not theoretical. They are the work Corica Group has delivered across African mining contracts for more than two decades — open pit, underground, exploration drilling, site civils, infrastructure and technical services. The Middle East is the next regional platform for that capability.

Regional establishment
What Corica is establishing locally
Corica is building the regional base required to deliver contract mining properly — transferring the parts of the Group operating model that make contracts safe, measurable and commercially accountable, without losing the discipline that makes it work.
Legal & governance
Regional entities, compliance and contracting structure — established in Dubai, with Riyadh opening.
People
Founding leadership hires, a local workforce pipeline and the Group's training standards, aligned to Saudization and Omanization.
Machines
Fleet planning, procurement pathways and the Group's maintenance model — mobilised against each contract as it is awarded.
Systems
Safety governance, project controls and client reporting — the Group systems, transferred intact.
Mobilisation
A readiness pathway from opportunity to operating site, run to the Group's mobilisation playbook.
Leadership
Led by the people who run the contract
Corica Middle East is appointing its founding regional leadership now, and appoints a dedicated leadership team at each mobilisation — a Managing Director, HSE Director, Operations Director and In-Country Value Lead accountable for every contract. We name them as appointments are confirmed and contracts are awarded, because the right leader for an Omani copper mine is not always the right leader for a Jordanian phosphate operation. What never changes is the standard they answer to.
Regional accountability, client partnership and the health of every contract. Appointment underway.
Safety — the foundation every operation is built on, never traded for tonnes.
Delivery to plan, fleet availability and the daily running of the mine.
Saudization, Omanization, local supply chains and national capability.
Build with people who go home safe
