In United Arab Emirates
This is the only site the atlas has on record in United Arab Emirates.
Country profile: United Arab EmiratesCompare with another site
Sites come from a USGS compilation for Latin America and the Caribbean that describes 2014, the national surveys of Australia (plants, mines, critical-mineral deposits), Canada (mines, smelters, refineries, critical-mineral projects) and Sweden (mines in operation and significant prospects), a 2022 database of coal and metal mines, and mine areas mapped by OpenStreetMap volunteers (marked as estimated). A deposit or a project is not a mine and is never counted as one. Processing plants in Asia, Africa and Europe are mostly missing. A missing facility means it is not in these sources, not that it does not exist.
Money
Capacity and yearly production as the sources record them. The atlas has no revenue, cost or value figure for a single site.
Production by year
Tonnes, as the database took them from company and agency reports. Years without a reported figure are left out, not filled in.

Sustainability
Four indicators, the same on every profile. For a single site most of them are properties of the place or the country, and are labelled so.
Carbon
Emissions intensity of the electricity grid of United Arab Emirates: the country's grid, not this site's.
470gCO2e/kWh
Higher than 50% of the other 208 countries with a grid figure.
- The atlas has no record of this site's own power supply or emissions.
Water
Baseline water stress of the sub-basin the site lies in.
Extremely High (>80%)
This is a class, not a figure, so no percentile is given.
- A modelled property of the place, not a measure of the site's own water use.
- "Arid and Low Water Use" is a class of its own in the source and is not counted as high.
Land
Land visibly used by mining.
Not available per site: the atlas holds the mapped area per country only.
- Mapped from satellite images for all mining in a country. It cannot be attributed to one material or one site.
Circularity
Recycling's share of demand.
Not available per site: the atlas has no recycling figure for single sites.
There is no overall score: the four figures measure different things and are not added up. How to read these figures
Risks & policy
Export controls in force
Compiled by USGS, effective January 2026. Not a live feed.
USGS Table 4 lists no export control by United Arab Emirates for the materials of this site.
Chokepoints at sea
The atlas has no record of which minerals pass through which sea passage, so no chokepoint figure is attached to this profile. Current ship counts for the main passages are on the Live page. Open the Live page
What the atlas does not know about sites

History & talk
Revision history and discussion are coming soon.
Every change to a figure will be listed here with its source, its credit and its review, and each profile will have a place to discuss it. Until then the data changes only when a source is updated, and every figure links to that source.
What we don't know yet
No open source we may use gives these figures. Nothing is estimated to fill them. If you know a public source, add it.
