Phosphate in Wadi Al-Abiad location is considered to be an extension to the phosphate ore in Al-Hassa.

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 Wadi Al-Abiad) 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.

Summary:

Phosphate in Wadi Al-Abiad location is considered to be an extension to the phosphate ore in Al-Hassa, where it is found at two geological levels. 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-Abiad phosphate deposit is found in two horizons, deposit has a lenticular. The Eshidiya phosphate deposits in central Jordan lie within the Upper Cretaceous limestone plateau. 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 ........


Mining Methods

  • Truck & Shovel / Loader
  • Dragline


Summary:

Mining at Wadi Al-Abiad mine is done using the uncovering method, which is removing the overburden using draggers or traditional land moving equipment. Mining is done as in the following steps: 1. Explosion: applying explosives in the overburden and removing it from over the phosphate layer. 2. Collection: after the explosion, collecting phosphate by various mining equipment. 3. Uploading and Moving: phosphate is loaded, using various mining equipment and moved to the crusher’s site or the storage facilities. Shovel-truck system is currently adapted for extracting phosphate ore in phosphate mine in Al-Abiad. Since shovel truck removal of overburden generally costs at least three times as much as dragline stripping, the dragline is currently implemented for removing overburden from phosphate ore in this mine. Scope of Work : • Overburden & internal waste Removal using excavator & wheal loader and transport the OB to the waste yards and cleaning with dozing. • Phosphate Mining , Cleaning by graders and dozers. • Transportation using dump truck to screen unit.
