Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney has joined Canadian engineering consultancy Hatch and a Saudi Arabian mining company in signing a strategic delivery owner-partnership agreement to accelerate the development of Maaden's growth ambitions.

Following the parties signing of a memorandum of understanding in January during the Future Minerals Forum in Riyadh, the definitive agreement now confirms Hatch as Maaden's strategic delivery partner for the development and execution of its significant project pipeline.

Notably, the signing ceremony was attended by Carney, Saudi Arabia Investment Minister Fahad bin Abduljalil Al-Saif, Hatch vice-chairperson Joe Lombard, Maaden project development and engineering senior VP Abdulrahman As-Sadlan and other senior officials from Canada and Saudi Arabia, underscoring the growing economic relationship between Canada and Saudi Arabia, as well as the role that Canadian companies play in supporting global industrial development.

Hatch will leverage its global network of specialists, including significant engineering and project delivery expertise based in Canada, to support the programme's successful execution.

The company has worked with Maaden in Saudi Arabia for more than three decades, completing projects across gold, phosphate, aluminium, alumina, and other commodities.

A core pillar of this partnership is the combined commitment to develop the capabilities, skills, and workforce needed to position the metals industry as a long-term engine of Saudi Arabia's economy.

Through hands-on project delivery and deep technical collaboration, the programme will cultivate the next generation of industry talent, enabling meaningful, future-ready careers and empowering people across the Kingdom to contribute to a thriving, globally competitive metals sector, Hatch explains.
