Industries of UAE

Mining Industry of UAE

UAE’s mining sector used to be heavily dependent on exploring oil. However, the mining industry there is growing so fast and is becoming a highly profitable contributor to the country’s GDP. It mainly involves the exploration of rocks and sand to manufacture cement and building stones for construction.

The Emirate of Fujairah has an abundance of minerals such as copper, gypsum, chrome, and precious metals. These have attracted organizations to invest in the mining sector to explore and exploit the reserves, which has led gold and diamond to be the second-largest revenue resource for UAE.<./p>
