The Awtad Project, part of Awtad Copper LLC which is a JV with the Al Mawli Family, is approximately 130km west of Muscat. The general license area, titled as Block 8, extends along the low foothills of the ophiolite chain south-east of Daris village.
Located adjacent to the Daris Project to the west, the Awtad Project has favourable geology and significant exploration potential for new discoveries of copper mineralisation. Alara previously explored some parts of the license area and identified some geophysical anomalies requiring further work. Renewal for the Exploration Licence remains pending at the Ministry of Energy and Minerals.
