"Together, We Reach NewHorizons"

In light of the high concerns of thegovernment of the Custodian of  the Two Holy Mosques ,King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud  may Allah Blesshim as well as  the vast development and economic  growth witnessed bythe Kingdom in all aspects of development and allmatters related to investments encouraged in all mining andother industrial fields, Advanced Mashriq  Mining Companyhas been established to be a leading company in the fieldof geological research , business and mining industry works.

AMMCO was established as a Saudi limited liabilitycompany having its business place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to be a majorleading company in the field of geological research, mining and quarries managementin both KSA and the Arab region in addition to supply raw materials for variousindustries.

The company has worked to attract qualifieddistinguished skilled human resources for developing this industry andsupporting works of quarries in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in particularand the Arab world in general. AMMCO activities include all kinds of geologicalresearch, designing and management of quarries, evaluation of raw materials,quality control, rock blasting services and supply of raw materials. In such a wide range of activities, thecompany takes into account the critical importance of environment and itspreservation as well as following the guidelines of the IndustrialSafety Department through training workers and raising their awareness atall levels in order to apply sound procedures and practices that preserve theenvironment with a commitment to apply rules of professional safety andsecurity.

Our vision: The company seeks to become the leading company in theArab World as to management, ownership and development of quarries besideproducing, marketing and manufacturing different kinds of raw materials in asafe and comfortable manner having ensured the social responsibility. 

 Our mission: Become a pioneers Company in this modern world where welook forward to meet the expectations of our clients and, together, reach newhorizons.

Our goals: We aim to take advantage of all opportunities createdby economic development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Arab world inorder to achieve profit, growth and development for our company and become oneof the most important mining companies in the Arab World.

Clients’ satisfaction is one of the most important main goals thatour company

seeks to achieve because this factor of great importance in thegrowth and

development of companies and accordingly, AMMCO seeks and aimsalways

proudly to provide the following services with high efficiency:

Studies& Research:

The geological, geophysical and geotechnicalresearches & studies are one of

the most important services AMMCO is going to provide them toclients,

because the great importance of these studies in the success ofprojects that

depends on the minerals essentials as main inputs in theproduction process:

1.    CompleteGeological investigation programs:

·       FieldProspecting.

·       Preparationand execution of core drilling gird

·       Preparation& selection of core samples (Splitting & Crushing).

·       Executionof chemical analysis and physical tests.

·       Preparingof Geological and topographic Maps.

·       Rock AgeDetermination (Micropaleontology).

·       Evaluationof the geological studies.

·       Applicationof “SURPAC” & other specialist software for

preparing the databases andachieving the following:

1.    Identifynature of the raw materials characteristics in terms

of size, shape, depositionalenvironment and mode of

occurrences.

2.    Identifythe reserve of raw materials & minable reserve and

grade reservecalculation.

3.    Identifyquality of raw materials and its industrial

suitability.

4.    Determinethe best methods for the extraction.

5.    EconomicEvaluation of the raw.

2.    Geophysicalprospecting

These studies are the first stage for preparation the geological studies in large projects (airports,dams and internationalroads - nuclear reactors - pipelines and water lines) by using:

·       Seismic prospecting (Shallow Seismic reflection)

·       Electric prospecting

·       Magnetic prospecting

After data processing stage, which obtained from one ofthe geophysical survey methods, our experts will prepare maps, subsurface cross sections for vertical and lateral variation inphysical properties and elaboration of visualmodels for:

·       Determinethe variation in rock hardness

·       Determine the thickness of sediments, subsurface strata and depth of the

basement.

·       Determinesediment physical properties.

·       Determinethe characteristics of aquifers, forms and sizes of rock

masses, caves andvoids under the surface and buried objects.

·       Identify subsurface geologicalstructures (faults)

3.    CompleteGeotechnical Investigations

Based on the company's vision and market surveyof urban development witnessed in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,the desire was created for developing the fields ofservices provided by us for preparation of complete geotechnical investigations tohelp clients identify locations of sensitivebuildings and large establishments and identify geotechnicalfactors and mechanical characteristics of the sites foundations(Bearing Capacity, landslide and other factors) by implementing the followingactivities:

·       Field tests

·       Drilling works and standard Penetration Test (SPT)

·       Soil Mechanics measurement

·       Laboratory tests.

4.    SurveyWorks:

By usingthe survey works we can make a link between the information

and its geographiclocation for represented it in the form of maps and

charts, and depending onthe cadastral field, our experts will prepare the

following:

·       ContourMaps

·       Topographicmaps

·       GeologicMaps

·       Structuralmaps

·       Accessroad design and cut & fill calculations
