Mining sector is one of the largest industrial sectors in Jordan, with phosphate and potash being the country's most important natural resources. The sector consists of large industries in terms of investment size, which contribute significantly to employing the local workforce and meeting the market's needs for primary, intermediate, and final products. The sector is distinguished by its use of the latest scientific methods in extracting and mining natural resources and converting them into products for export or local consumption.

There are many positive expectations for this sector with the increase in local added value and investment in new areas such as oil shale and uranium. This requires working on activating the exploitation of unused raw materials in the Kingdom to improve the reality of this sector to meet the high global demand.

According to the decision of the Council of Ministers, which adopted the industrial sectors and identified the sub-sectors, the mining industries sector includes the following sub-sectors: quarrying stones and sands, chemical minerals, and cement.
