The Cabinet, during a session chaired by Prime Minister Jafar Hassan on Sunday, endorsed a draft law approving the executive agreement between the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and Wadi Araba Minerals Company to evaluate, develop and exploit copper and other minerals in the Abu Khashaba area, to be referred to the Lower House for constitutional procedures. The agreement aligns with the Economic Modernisation Vision, which designates mining as a high-value-added sector. It is also expected to stimulate local manufacturing, support sustainable investment in national resources, and generate jobs in Wadi Araba, contributing to development efforts in the area, according to a Prime Ministry statement.
