The company holds two mineral concessions, Abu Marawat covering an area of 1,027 square kilometers and the Fatiri covering an area of 1,745 square kilometers.[2] The Abu Marawat Concession was previously controlled by Centamin[3] and was subsequently awarded to Alexander Nubia as part of the international bid round.[4] The concessions are located in close proximity to excellent infrastructure (near to railway, seaport, high tension electricity grid and the major cities of Qena and Safaga).[5]

Within the Abu Marawat Concession are several different deposits representing different geological environments.

  1. Abu Marawat: a mesothermal gold-copper vein deposit
  2. Hamama: a volcanogenic massive sulfide ore deposit
  3. South Miranda: a copper-gold porphyry deposit
  4. Semna: a sheeted gold-bearing quartz vein structure in granodiorite deposit
  5. Sir Bakis, Massaghat, Zeno and Bohlog: a gold-rich quartz vein deposit

The company focuses on two principal deposits, Hamama and Abu Marawat.[6]
