The Moxico Resources PLC and Ajlan & Bros Mining Company consortium won the licence for exploration of Saudi Arabia’s Khnaighuiyah mines, where zinc and copper deposits are estimated around 26 million tonnes, the kingdom’s Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources said on Wednesday.

The ministry awarded the licence for 255.6 million riyals ($68 million) after a four-day electronic auction.
