Mining
The development of the mining and quarrying sector is a central pillar of the Sultanate’s economic diversification strategy under Oman’s current plan supported by rising global demand for the country’s largely untapped mineral reserves including copper, chromite, gypsum, limestone and marble. The sector’s contribution to Oman’s non‑oil economy continues to grow, with government policy focused on accelerating mineral‑based industrialisation and expanding downstream processing capacity in free zones and logistics hubs across Sohar, Duqm and Salalah.
AMJ’s mining practice combines decades of domestic experience with international mining expertise, advising clients across the full project lifecycle from early‑stage exploration and licensing to large‑scale extraction, project development, downstream processing and value‑added industrial activities. Our lawyers bring both private‑practice and in‑house experience on mining and metals projects globally, complemented by deep knowledge of Oman’s regulatory framework and the operational realities of the sector’s industrial ecosystems.
We act for local and international mining operators, investors and financial institutions active in Oman’s mineral sector, providing strategic advice on licensing, regulatory approvals, land access, joint ventures, concessions, financing, offtake arrangements, environmental compliance and associated infrastructure. Clients value our ability to anticipate regulatory challenges and deliver clear, commercially focused solutions grounded in our long‑standing experience with Oman’s mining legislation and policy environment.
AMJ’s multidisciplinary capabilities spanning corporate, regulatory, finance, environmental and commercial law enable us to support clients comprehensively and allow us to provide practical, commercially grounded solutions that support successful project delivery.
