SEMICONDUCTOR
Jordan's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has signed a memorandum of understanding with UK-based Hotspur Helium for a two-year helium exploration project in the Dead Sea region. This initiative, which includes geophysical surveys and training for local specialists, aims to enhance Jordan's mining sector and respond to the rising global demand for helium. If exploration proves commercially viable, a concession agreement may follow, potentially boosting the national economy through job creation and increased export opportunities.
