SnapshotThe Al Masane mining complex is the main operations base for AMAK. It includes the underground mines of Saadah, Al Houra, and Moyeath. The complex produces copper and zinc concentrates, along with gold and silver doré as by-products.

In 2019, AMAK initiated an expansion project to develop the Moyeath orebody, with a new, state-of-the-art processing plant designed specifically for this ore.

In September 2024, following a six-month commissioning period, commercial production at the Moyeath Processing Plant was officially declared. The new plant boosts AMAK’s total base metal processing capacity by approximately 50%, extending the life of the mine by over 10 years.
