In January 2023, Saudi Arabian Mining Co. (Maaden) signed a joint-venture agreement with the Public Investment Fund (PIF) to set up Manara Minerals to invest in international mining assets, focusing on strategic mineral metals such as iron ore, copper, nickel, and lithium, being a non-operating, minority equity partner, according to Argaam’s data.
