Partnerships
Public Investment Fund Strategic Alliance
As majority shareholder, the Public Investment Fund (PIF) underwrites Ma'aden’s capital-intensive projects—PIF injected about $10.8 billion into Saudi industrial champions in 2024—securing liquidity and strategic alignment with Saudi Vision 2030 targets like mining GDP growth to SAR 240 billion by 2030. This alliance also opens global JV routes such as Manara Minerals, which aims to mobilize >$2 billion in international investment for phosphate and fertilizer expansion.
Global Industrial Joint Ventures
Ma'aden partners with global leaders—Alcoa for aluminum and Barrick Gold for copper—bringing technology transfer and operational best practices that helped Ma'aden increase metal output to 3.6 million tonnes of aluminum and 120 kt of copper equivalent in 2024. These joint ventures share capex and commodity price risk, contributing to a 2024 revenue mix where base metals made up ~38% of Ma'aden’s SAR 24.1 billion revenue, strengthening its position in global markets.
Phosphate Production Collaborations
Ma'aden partners with Mosaic and SABIC to sustain its rank among the world’s largest integrated phosphate producers, supporting 2024 phosphate revenues of about $1.1bn and 6.2Mt Y/O/Y production capacity across mines and plants. These alliances optimize the extraction-to-fertilizer value chain, give Ma'aden access to SABIC's chemical processing tech and Mosaic's off-take networks, and supply real-time demand signals for exports to markets that absorbed ~75% of output in 2024.
Government and Regulatory Bodies
Close coordination with the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources secures licenses under the 2021 Saudi Mining Investment Law and helped Ma'aden obtain 120+ exploration permits and RMB-equivalent capital inflows of about SAR 3.6 billion in 2024 for greenfield projects.
This alignment grants access to national roads, power and the NEOM-linked logistics network, and underpins Ma'aden's environmental targets—30% reduction in freshwater use by 2030 and SAR 250 million community investments in 2024.
- 120+ exploration permits (2024)
- SAR 3.6 billion capital for greenfields (2024)
- 30% freshwater use cut target by 2030
- SAR 250 million community spend (2024)
Logistics and Infrastructure Providers
Strategic agreements with Saudi Railway Company (SAR, 2018 concession expansion) and port authorities ensure reliable movement of ore to Ras Al Khair, cutting transport costs by about 20% versus road haulage and linking inland mines to processing hubs and export terminals.
These logistics partnerships underpin Maaden’s export capacity—Ras Al Khair handled ~45 million tonnes of bulk cargo in 2024—supporting timely, cost-effective supply to international customers.
- SAR rail links: inland mines → Ras Al Khair
- Transport cost cut ≈20%
- Ras Al Khair throughput 2024: ~45 Mt
- Enables Maaden export reliability
Ma’aden fuels Vision 2030: PIF $10.8B, 120+ permits, rail −20%, Ras Al Khair 45Mt
Ma'aden’s key partners—PIF, Alcoa, Barrick, SABIC, Mosaic, Saudi Ministry, Saudi Railway, Ras Al Khair ports—provide capital (PIF ~$10.8bn into industrial champions in 2024), tech transfer, off-take, permits (120+ in 2024), logistics (rail cut transport ≈20%), and export throughput (Ras Al Khair ~45 Mt in 2024), supporting revenue mix and Vision 2030 targets.
| Partner | Key metric (2024) |
|---|---|
| PIF | $10.8bn injected |
| Permits | 120+ |
| Rail/ports | −20% cost / 45 Mt |

Activities
Exploration and Resource Development
Ma'aden runs country-wide geological surveys and drilling to grow and define reserves across ~74,000 km2 of licenses, keeping a multi-decade project pipeline; exploration capex rose to SAR 1.2bn in 2024 to sustain production targets.
Integrated Mining and Extraction
Ma'aden runs large-scale open-pit and underground mines for phosphate, gold, copper and bauxite, producing 11.7 Mt phosphate ore, 2.1 Moz gold and 41 kt copper in 2024; it uses automated haulage, real-time digital monitoring and sensor-based ore sorting to lift recovery by ~6–10% while cutting energy intensity per tonne by ~8% vs 2019, and invests ~SAR 2.3 bn (2024) in low-impact tech and tailings management.
Refining and Chemical Processing
Ma'aden runs integrated smelting and refining complexes that turn ores into alumina, aluminium and high-grade phosphate products; in 2024 Ma'aden produced ~2.1 Mt of phosphate rock and 1.3 Mt of finished fertilizers including 0.6 Mt of MAP/DAP and 0.4 Mt of ammonia, revenues boosting group chemical sales by ~18% y/y.
Research and Technology Innovation
Ma'aden spends roughly SAR 300–400 million yearly on R&D (2024 figure), focusing on water-efficient processing, carbon reduction pilots and circular-economy trials to cut operating costs and meet rising ESG thresholds.
- SAR 350m R&D spend (2024)
- Water use reduction pilots: −15% target by 2027
- Decarbonization: hydrogen pilot and 30% Scope 1–2 reduction target by 2030
- Circular trials: waste valorization programs underway
Global Supply Chain Management
Ma'aden moves millions of tonnes—about 11.5 million tonnes of phosphate and 4.2 million tonnes of bauxite in 2024— from remote Saudi mines to global buyers, using advanced demand forecasting, inventory optimization, and coordinated maritime schedules to cut lead times and exposure to freight volatility.
- 11.5M t phosphate, 4.2M t bauxite (2024)
- Targets 95% on-time delivery
- Hedging and route optimization reduced shipping cost variance by ~18% (2023–24)
