The Saudi Geological Survey (SGS) has enriched the National Geological Database (NGD) Portal with new geological data packages, marking a significant milestone on its founding day. This initiative highlights SGS’s dedication to advancing the mining sector by providing comprehensive geological information.
The latest data packages cover 30% of the Arabian Shield and include surface geochemical and aerial geophysical survey data from the General Geological Survey Program. The National Core Library (NCL) has also made strides by spectrally scanning over 70 kilometers of core samples and digitizing more than 4,000 technical reports on mineral deposits.
The NGD Portal acts as a centralized hub for accessing geological data, enabling researchers, industry professionals, and investors to make informed decisions and foster innovation in Saudi Arabia’s mining and mineral sectors.
