The Himalayan mountains span over 2400 km across Asia and form one of the world's biodiversity hotspots, home to over 10,000 plant and 1200 vertebrate species (Pandit et al., 2014).Designated as an Endemic Area and Global 200 Ecoregion, the Himalayas play a vital role in influencing regional climate and supporting diverse …
The abundance of mineral resources in Oman has long been known, however, its full potential has only recently been tapped. The non-metallic mineral limestone has a purity of 99.8%, the highest in the world, and gypsum, of which Oman is the largest exporter globally, provide a steady source of GDP for the sector.
It reduces the need for unnecessary drilling and allows companies to focus their resources on areas with high potential, making the entire exploration process more cost-effective. Enhanced Safety: By implementing AI-driven autonomous equipment and remote sensing technologies, companies can reduce human involvement in potentially …

Most glass is made by fusing a mixture of silica sand and soda ash, limestone dolomite and other material. Generally very high purity (CaCO3 98.5 % or CaO 55.2) is required for this application. Iron Industry: Limestone is used to remove impurities from molten iron. Limestone or lime is used as a flux to assist melting.
Oman is a nation well-endowed with natural mineral resources, concentrated mainly in its 700-km by 150-km mountain range, which ofers an exposed ophiolite geological outcrop containing minerals such as copper, gold, silver, chromite, lead, nickel, manganese and …
Arabtec Oman, with a passion for the mining, exploration, and development of minerals is undoubtedly one of the fastest-growing and well-respected names in the limestone mining industry in the Sultanate of Oman.
Limestone mineral resources provide raw materials such as decorative materials and cement which are widely used in the construction industry. Therefore, discovering the spatial relationship between limestone minerals and urbanization patterns could provide a reference to regional economic planning. In this paper, we constructed a limestone …
