Production Start...
Jordan Phosphate Mines Company's current production plan is gradually to reduce production levels at the mine at Al-Hassa, although this production plan may be revised depending upon market demand and the level of prevailing international prices.

In 2021, exploration works were oriented on strengthening the geological reserve for Jordan Phosphate Mines Company besides supplying it with new ores at all the operating company’s mines including (mine Al Hassa) with the aim of benefiting from the available infrastructure of Al Hassa and Al Abiad mines and reinforcing the existing geological reserve in these two mines.

Deposit Type

  • Sedimentary


Summary:

The phosphate formations in the Upper Cretaceous and Eocene levels cover about 60% of the total area of Jordan. The phosphate formations of the Upper Cretaceous lie near the surface in the central part of the country, covering a wide belt. The Al-Hassa phosphate deposit is found in two horizons, deposit has a lenticular. The phosphorites of Jordan are present within Al-Hisa Phosphorite Formation (AHP). In general, the AHP consists of phosphorites, bedded chert, limestones, oyster buildups, organic-rich marl (oil shale) and other rock types. The AHP consists of three formal members, from older to younger Sulatani, Bahiyya and Qatrana. In central Jordan, the Sultani Member consists of alternating limestones, bedded chert and minor phosphorites. The Bahiyya Member consists of oyster banks or buildups up 30 m in thickness that are made of oyster fragment in clinoforms dipping general to the SE (Abed and Sadaqah, 1998). The Qatrana Member is the host of the high grade phosphorites. The grade phosphorites are friable with little calcareous cement. They are present as lenses (small basins) with a diameter ranging up to few kilometers and a thickness up 13 m. In Eshidiyya Basin, the three formal members are present only in the northern parts of the basin. The Bahiyya coquina thins gradually towards the SE until it disappears completely. The Sultani Member or the lower member is hosting the main (high) grade phosphorite deposits. It is divided by the miners into three producing pho ........


Mining Methods

  • Truck & Shovel / Loader
  • Dragline


Summary:

Shovel-truck system is adapted for extracting phosphate ore in Al-Hassa mine. The dragline is implemented for removing overburden from phosphate ore in mine.

Mining by uncovering the ore, which is the currently applied method, where mining is done through:
• Removing the overburden after drilling and applying explosions to the rock layer.
• Moving the overburden by giant trucks to the specified locations.
• Directly removing the overburden, after the explosions, by hydraulic draglines to the specified location.
• Clustering phosphate rocks by heavy bulldozers, truck loading and moving the rocks to the crushers for crushing and sieving, and preparing them for direct drying.
• If the type of the phosphate is of the lesser quality, it is sent to the upgrading equipment using the flotation process.
