ANS Exploration

ANS Exploration applies a large-scale mineral systems approach to discover tier-1 deposits in the Arabian-Nubian Shield — the world's last under-explored gold–copper province. The company holds one of the largest greenfield portfolios in Saudi Arabia: 19 wholly-owned exploration licences covering 1,753 km², and 2,680 km² group-wide including Ethiopia, plus a further 882 km² under application. Flagship targets are drill-ready: outcropping VMS gossan trends with EM conductors directly beneath at the NS211-219-226 cluster, the 6 km NS167 VMS–gold trend, and the Kingdom's largest tin–tungsten system at Silsilah (NS41), with the maiden drill campaign launching in early 2027. Through SARANS Mining, its joint venture with Saleh Abdulaziz Al Rashed & Sons (Saudi Exchange: 1324), ANS is free-carried into the Kingdom's competitive licensing rounds. In Ethiopia, ANS operates its laboratory across the drill-ready Daro (rock chips up to 34% Cu), Zager and Matrix projects. A Canadian listing is planned for Q2 2027.#
