Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: Almasane Alkobra Mining Company (AMAK) announced the launch of its new subsidiary, Advance Drilling Company, a simplified joint-stock company specializing in drilling, exploration, and related support services.

With an issued capital of SAR 40 million and an authorized capital of SAR 100 million, the Najran-headquartered Advance Drilling Company will focus on supporting and accelerating AMAK’s exploration activities and providing exploration drilling services to all local and international companies and institutions specialized in exploration and mining activities within the Kingdom, the company announced in a recent statement.

This milestone reinforces AMAK’s growth strategy that focuses on strengthening its capabilities across the mining value chain, enhancing control over exploration timelines, and improving the efficiency of converting resources into production.

Advance Drilling Company will implement industry-leading standards in drilling operations, ensuring efficiency, safety, and consistency in execution, while supporting the Company’s broader exploration objectives.
