Alara Resources Limited (ASX: AUQ), through its joint venture Al Hadeetha Mining LLC, is actively advancing exploration activities within Block 22B in the Sultanate of Oman, focusing on copper, gold, chromite, and platinum group elements (PGEs).

Block 22B comprises a consolidation of multiple Exploration, Prospecting, and Mining Licenses that were previously held by various exploration and mining entities. These individual licenses have now been unified under the Block 22B concession, forming a cohesive and highly prospective exploration zone. The geological potential of Block 22B is underscored by the presence of existing copper mine, drill intercepted copper mineralisation, ancient workings, widespread copper slags predominantly located in the south-western and north-eastern regions. These historical remnants suggest extensive past copper extraction activities and point to significant underlying mineralization potential.
