Launch a PPP program for Mining Companies in Jordan
A free 17-page guide · The $500 trillion PPP infrastructure opportunity
What this guide is for
Your company launches a PPP program to develop the rail, port terminals, water, power and processing that mining needs as public-private partnership (PPP) projects and to anchor them with its own mineral output.
The case
Mining companies supply what every PPP is built from
Every road, grid, battery, solar panel and data center of the next fifty years is built from minerals, and the mines that supply them depend on the rail, ports, water and power around them. Mining companies that build a PPP program now will share in that infrastructure and secure the routes their own output travels on. This guide invites mining companies in Jordan to launch that program, starting with the projects at home.
The guide
Supply the $500 trillion PPP infrastructure opportunity
Your company launches a dedicated PPP program, a team and a set of offers that develop the rail, terminals, water, power and processing that mining needs as PPPs and supply minerals to the projects around them, starting with Jordan’s $86 billion of projects and the $46 billion anchored in Aqaba.
01
A PPP mining team
A dedicated team that knows how PPPs are prepared, procured and financed follows every rail, port, water, energy and industrial project in the pipeline from the first market sounding and offers each sponsor the company’s long-term volumes as an anchor customer.
02
Shared corridors to Aqaba
Phosphate, potash and other bulk minerals travel to the port in Aqaba for export. The company can anchor rail freight, bulk terminals and storage developed as PPPs, so its long-term volumes give lenders the demand they look for and every other shipper on the corridor gains capacity.
03
Water and power for mines and plants
Mining and processing need large and steady supplies of water and power. The company can develop desalination, water reuse and solar with storage as PPPs or join those projects as an anchor customer, so each one is bid with a known demand and the mine runs at a known cost.
04
Downstream processing
Fertilizers, chemicals and glass add value to the minerals Jordan already mines, and materials for solar panels could follow. The company can develop processing parks, with their shared utilities and terminals run as PPPs, beside its mines or in Aqaba with partners who bring the technology, capital and buyers.
05
Small-scale PPPs and direct proposals
Jordan’s PPP Regulation No. 9 of 2024 defines small-scale PPPs below $14.1 million, which can be bundled into one feasibility report and one tender, and PPP Law No. 19 of 2023 accepts direct private proposals under Article 15. Your company can propose water reuse for the towns near its sites, rail sidings or solar for public pumping and bundle similar projects into one tender.
Why mining companies
Mining companies supply what every PPP is built from
Roads, rail, grids, water networks and buildings are made of cement, steel, copper, glass and stone, and every one of those materials starts in a mine. Mining companies already run heavy fleets, long supply chains and export corridors, and they buy the rail, port, water and power capacity that PPPs are built to deliver.
Where mining companies fit in a PPP
- Anchor customer
- Long-term freight, handling, water and power volumes that give rail, terminal, desalination and energy PPPs the demand lenders look for.
- Sponsor
- Equity in the shared corridors, terminals and utilities that the company’s own output depends on.
- Supplier
- Aggregates, silica, cement raw materials and other minerals supplied to construction PPPs under long-term contracts.
- Processing
- Fertilizer, chemical, glass and other processing plants developed in parks with shared utilities and terminals.
- Operations
- Heavy fleets, earthworks crews and autonomous machines that can work on the tunnels, roads and dams of other PPPs.
What changes for mining companies
AI, robotics and tokenization change how minerals are found, mined and financed. AI reads geological data to target exploration and tunes plants for recovery and energy use, autonomous drills and haul trucks keep a mine running around the clock, and tokenized stakes let investors own part of the rail, terminals and plants that carry a company’s output to market.
Why a program, and why now
A mining company that waits for others to build its corridors pays the tariffs they set. A program lets your company shape the rail, port, water and power projects it depends on, join their consortiums as anchor customer and partner, and bring its own proposals under Article 15. Jordan’s pipeline is large and early, and the mining companies that join those consortiums now will shape the terms they ship on for decades.
Futureproofing
Futureproof Mining Companies in Jordan for the infrastructure singularity
This free 17-page guide shows how, with small PPPs in parallel, PPP research labs, artificial intelligence, robotics, tokenization and six first steps.
Jordan and Aqaba
An $86 billion pipeline to start with
Every one of them is built from minerals, and the rail, port, water and power projects among them serve mining directly. A Jordanian mining company that anchors one project at home can carry the same model to the next one across the region.
- $86B
- of PPP and infrastructure projects in development in Jordan
- $46B
- of them anchored in Aqaba
Artificial intelligence
AI lets a mining company find, plan and process its minerals on data. Models read geological surveys and drill results to target exploration, plan the mine and its haulage, and tune processing plants for recovery and energy use. The same tools let a small team read a concession agreement and test a financial model for a rail, port or water PPP in days.
Robotics
Autonomous drilling and haulage let a mine run around the clock with fewer people in harm’s way, drones survey pits and stockpiles, and sensor-based sorting removes waste rock before it reaches the plant. A mining company can bring the same machines, and the people who run them, to the earthworks, tunnels and inspection work of other PPPs.
Tokenization
Rail lines, bulk terminals and solar plants backed by a mining company’s long-term volumes have the steady, contracted revenue that tokenization suits. A mining company can offer tokenized stakes in the shared infrastructure it anchors, pay holders from freight, handling and power charges as they arrive and record each shipment’s origin on the same ledger, so buyers can trace it to its mine.
Small PPPs and research labs
Small PPPs let a mining company prove new methods on assets it already understands. Water reuse, solar with storage or a rail siding near a mine can be built quickly and measured from the first day, and lab pilots can test autonomous haulage, ore sorting and low-water processing before the company scales them across its sites.
Unsolicited proposals
A mining company knows where the rail, port, water and power around its sites fall short. A direct proposal lets it turn that knowledge into a project of its own design, such as a rail siding, a bulk storage yard in Aqaba or water reuse for nearby towns, and keep the right to match the best offer if the project goes to tender.
The program
How the program could work
The program can sit inside the company’s strategy and development team, with a PPP lead at its center and the mines, fleets and export volumes the company already has behind it.
- PPP team
- A small team of development, engineering, finance and legal people that covers every rail, port, water, energy and industrial PPP in Jordan’s pipeline from the first market sounding.
- Corridors
- Rail freight, bulk terminals and storage in Aqaba developed or anchored as PPPs, with the company’s volumes committed for the life of each concession.
- Water and power
- Desalination, water reuse and solar with storage developed as PPPs or contracted as an anchor customer.
- Processing
- Processing parks and their shared utilities, developed with partners who bring the technology, capital and buyers.
- Direct proposals
- Projects brought to government under Article 15, including small-scale PPPs below $14.1 million.
- Technology
- Exploration AI, autonomous drilling and haulage, drone surveying and ore sorting deployed across the company’s sites.
- Partners
- Standing agreements with contractors, operators, banks, infrastructure funds and technology companies that complete each consortium.
What the company gains
The company gains a say in the corridors, terminals and utilities its output depends on, long-term contracts with government and project companies, and equity in assets that earn from every shipper who uses them. Each project becomes a reference for lenders and a route into the next consortium, in Jordan and across the region.
It also gains a position in the mineral supply the rebuild will need. The first mining company in the region to pair its mines with shared rail, port, water and power PPPs, run with AI and autonomous machines, will set the cost of moving minerals to market that later projects are priced against.
Next steps
How a mining company can start
Any mining company in Jordan can take this guide forward. The first steps use the mines, fleets and export routes the company already has.
01
Mandate
Board approval for a PPP program, with its target corridors and utilities, the equity it can commit and its first-year goals.
02
Team
A named program lead, with development, engineering, finance and legal people drawn from the company’s existing teams.
03
Pipeline
A map of Jordan’s $86 billion of projects by sector and stage, and early meetings with the contracting authorities and sponsors behind the rail, port, water and power projects the company relies on.
04
Volumes
The freight, water and power demand the company can commit to each project, set out as anchor offers for its sponsors.
05
Partners
Contractors, operators, lenders, infrastructure funds and technology companies to complete each consortium.
06
Pilot
A first water, power or rail project as a small-scale PPP or direct proposal, taken from idea to submission.
Jordan has the minerals, the projects, a port in Aqaba and a law that lets a company propose its own. A PPP program puts your company’s volumes and machines inside the corridors of the superintelligent infrastructure future from their first day of operation.
