Saudi Arabia is undergoing a transformative shift in its industrial landscape under the ambitious Vision 2030 national development program. Once almost entirely reliant on petroleum revenues, the Kingdom is actively diversifying its economy by accelerating investment in the mining sector. With an estimated $1.3 trillion worth of untapped mineral resources — including phosphate, bauxite, gold, copper, zinc, and rare earth elements — Saudi Arabia is positioning itself as one of the most significant mining destinations in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources targets mining to become the third pillar of the national economy, contributing over SAR 240 billion to GDP by 2030 — creating unprecedented demand for underground mining equipment, hydraulic systems, and mechanized transport solutions.
One of the largest underground gold mining operations in the Arabian Peninsula, requiring high-capacity hydraulic support trucks and precision seal systems to operate in deep, high-temperature environments.
Located in northern Saudi Arabia, this mega-project combines open-cast and underground extraction. Diesel shovel loaders and mechanized auxiliary transport are critical for ore movement across extensive tunnel networks.
Saudi Arabia's state-owned mining giant Ma'aden operates several underground polymetallic mines where heavy-duty rod seals, piston guide rings, and OEM hydraulic seal kits are essential for continuous production uptime.
Saudi mining operators are investing heavily in semi-autonomous equipment, IoT-enabled hydraulic monitoring, and predictive maintenance platforms. Hydraulic seal performance and hose integrity are now monitored in real time to prevent costly shutdowns.
Aligned with Saudi Arabia's Net Zero by 2060 commitment, underground mining operators are transitioning diesel auxiliary vehicles to hybrid and electric powertrains, while demanding longer-lasting, low-friction hydraulic components to reduce energy consumption.
New tunneling projects for metro expansions in Riyadh and Jeddah, as well as NEOM's underground logistics network, are creating parallel demand for TBM-grade hydraulic hoses, support trucks, and mechanized loaders.
Saudi Aramco and Ma'aden's localization mandates under Vision 2030 encourage foreign suppliers to establish local service centers, spare parts inventories, and technical training facilities — making long-term supplier relationships critical for equipment procurement.
Extreme underground temperatures in Arabian Peninsula mines (exceeding 40°C ambient) demand advanced polymer seals using PTFE, POM, and high-grade NBR compounds — precisely the specialty materials Kelong New Materials manufactures to exacting international standards.
Global mining OEMs including Sandvik, Epiroc, and Caterpillar are sourcing hydraulic seal kits and high-pressure hoses from certified Chinese manufacturers to meet competitive pricing targets while maintaining ISO and IRIS quality standards.
