Geological Fact:
The Discovery of Large-Scale Gold Deposits in the Arabian-Nubian Shield
The Arabian-Nubian Shield, which extends into northern Sudan, has seen the discovery of several large-scale gold deposits in recent years. These deposits are primarily associated with orogenic gold systems, formed during significant tectonic events. One of the most notable discoveries is the Gabgaba gold deposit, which has attracted considerable investment and is being developed into a major mining operation. These discoveries are expected to boost Sudan’s gold production and attract further international exploration efforts.
