The Saudi Geological Survey (SGS) has unveiled new geological data packages, marking a significant enhancement to its National Geological Database (NGD) Portal. This update aligns with the SGS’s founding anniversary, highlighting its dedication to advancing the mining industry with detailed geological insights.
The latest data release encompasses 30% of the Arabian Shield, featuring surface geochemical and aerial geophysical survey results from the General Geological Survey Program. Additionally, the National Core Library (NCL) initiative has achieved spectral scanning of over 70 kilometers of core samples and the digitization of more than 4,000 technical reports concerning mineral deposits.
The NGD Portal acts as a central hub for geological data, aiding researchers, industry experts, and investors in making well-informed decisions and fostering innovation within Saudi Arabia’s mining and mineral sectors.
