Introduction
It is well
known that Yemen has long history of ancient mining. The Sabaeans were most
famous for exploiting gold, to the extent that it was said the Sabaeans were one
of the richest nations in the region because of the large number of gold mines
in their land. The doors, ceilings and walls of their palaces and temples were
all decorated with gold, silver and gemstones. Such old mines are still there
witnessing the point of development and the great civilization progress that the
Yemeni man reached.
Mineral exploration works are being undertaken by
the Geological Survey & Mineral Resources Board as well as a number of Foreign
Companies. (Click over company Name to Get
