Location and Geology
Jabal al Khalh is part of the Ad Dawadimi silver district, which is located in the eastern part of the Arabian Shield, 750 km northeast of Jeddah and 320 km from Riyadh. The Ad Dawadimi district comprises a complex granite batholith (granite and granodiorite) bounded by north-trending faults. To the east, the Ar Ridaniyah reverse fault is marked by ultrabasic rocks.
Previous Exploration Work
The area was covered by the regional reconnaissance and prospecting programs conducted by USGS and BRGM .
Mineralization and Prospectively
The Pb-Zn-Ag mineralization, which occurs in silicic breccia and has been sheared into eye-shaped lenticular bodies, is believed to be primarily controlled by hydrothermal activity along the central axis of the batholith. Significant silver grades varied from 55 to 360 g/t appear to exist only in open fractures.
