Corica has opened its regional office in Dubai, with a Riyadh office opening next — establishing the base from which the company will tender for and mobilise contract-mining work across the Gulf and the Arabian Shield — Saudi Arabia, Oman and Jordan among them.
The Middle East is 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.
Corica arrives with two decades of Group operating discipline — global standards, delivered in-country. The operating model travels intact: safety as the foundation, disciplined project-specific commercial reporting, and local value built into every mobilisation plan from day one.
The regional platform is now recruiting its founding country leadership, with mining crews hired against each contract as it is awarded.
