(<a href="http://www.argaam.com/en/tadawul/tasi/maaden" target="_blank">Maaden</a>) said shareholders approved the election of the board of directors from among the nominated candidates for a new term starting on Oct. 25, 2026, and ending on Oct. 24, 2030. The approval was granted during the company’s ordinary general meeting (OGM) held on Oct. 14, according to a Tadawul statement. The board members are Yasir Al-Rumayyan, Khalid Al-Mudaifer, Ahmed Al-Haqbani , Richard O’Brien, Manar Almoneef, Sofia Bianchi, Ann-Christin Andersen, Mohammed Al-Qahtani, Abdallah Al-Dossari, Robert Wilt and Ahmad Alsaadi. The company added that shareholders also approved the transactions and contracts entered into between Maaden Gold Base Metals Holding Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Maaden, and Saudi Aramco Development Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Saudi Aramco. Al-Rumayyan, as Chairman of Aramco, and Al-Qahtani, as a senior executive at Aramco, have an indirect interest in the transactions. These transactions involve a shareholders’ agreement to establish a joint venture (JV) to develop and exploit mineral resources in the Arabian Shield. The new company will have initial paid-up capital of SAR 197.5 million, with no preferential terms. According to data available with Argaam, Saudi Aramco and Maaden signed a shareholders’ agreement last August to establish a JV focused on mineral exploration and hard-rock mining in the Kingdom, particularly copper and other minerals. Maaden was expected to hold a 51% stake in the JV, while Saudi Aramco will own the remaining 49%. The venture was set to focus on exploring Zone 4, known as the Transition Zone, within the Arabian Platform. The exploration area covers approximately 182,000 square kilometers, or around 10% of the Kingdom’s total area, extending along a 100-kilometer-wide zone parallel to the Arabian Shield.
