Strategic development and offtake partnership.

A non-prescriptive development opportunity

The capital figures above describe a conservative three-stage pathway. They are not a price ceiling and they are not a fixed plan to fund. The Al-Qaryatayn resource can support several development models, including phased production beginning at a smaller initial commercial scale, accelerated high-volume extraction, strategic offtake-led development, or a fully integrated mine-to-market structure. Investor-led proposals at larger scale or alternative commercial structures are welcomed where technically, legally and logistically feasible.

The Invitation for Offers is the document we share once an investor identifies themselves below. It sets out what Syria Silicon brings as a developed-asset platform, the six pathways through which a partner may propose to deliver capability, the minimum elements required in any proposal, and the criteria by which proposals are evaluated.

What Syria Silicon brings

• Operating MoU with the Syrian Ministry of Energy, signed on the basis of mining approval.
• In-country operating company: Nawras Alali Silica & Minerals LLC, Syrian Arab Republic.
• Government and local relations, in-country expert team, framework for local hiring.
