Area: 244.92 km2 Commodities: Cu, Au, Zn Exploration activities: Geological mapping ,Geophysical Survey and stream sediment sampling.
Location and Geology
Jabal Baudan is located along the western red sea coastal plain, 177 km south of Jeddah, the area consists of rugged mountainous terrain. The area is dissected by several wadi which flow southward to the red sea. The area underlain by the late Proterozoic volcanics, volcaniclastic and sedimentary layered rocks as narrow northeast trending belts later intruded by the younger plutonic rocks ranging in composition from gabbro to diorite to granite.
Previous Exploration Work
Wadi al Lith area was covered by the regional reconnaissance and prospecting program conducted by the Riofinex.
Mineralization and Prospectively
The mineralization at Jabal Baudan share the same characteristics found in Wadi al Lith, the mineralization is in association with siliceous volcanic rocks. It appears as massive pyrite and occasionally as massive ironstone. The mineral prospecting program completed in the area outlined several areas of siliceous volcanic rocks which inferred to constitute an attractive environment for the development of volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits (VMS).
