\nDepartment: Earth Sciences, Faculty of Petroleum and Natural Resources
\nSpecialization: Economic Geology
\n\u200bExamination Committee

\nStudy Objectives and Findings
\n\u200bThe study aimed to investigate the geological, geochemical, and petrographic characteristics of iron deposits, as well as to determine the origin, formation processes, and economic potential within the study area.
\n\u200bKey Findings:
\n\u200bThe iron deposits in the study area are classified as Banded Iron Formations (BIF) of marine chemical origin.
\n\u200bThey were formed from hydrothermal ore solutions in a reducing marine environment.
\n\u200bDeposition occurred through mixing with oxygenated seawater, leading to the precipitation of iron ore in a medium-depth marine environment associated with volcanic rocks formed within active tectonic oceanic island arcs.
\n\u200bThe characteristics of these deposits align with Precambrian BIFs found globally, specifically within the Arabian-Nubian Shield (e.g., deposits in Egypt and Saudi Arabia).
\n\u200bRecommendations
\n\u200bThe researcher proposed several critical recommendations for future development, including:
\n\u200bConducting advanced geological studies using drilling and subsurface exploration.
\n\u200bUtilizing remote sensing technologies to determine the depth and extent of iron formation layers buried under sand dunes.
\n\u200bAttracting specialists and investors to initiate exploration projects aimed at the economic exploitation of these resources.
\n\u200bConclusion and Result
\n\u200bUpon thorough examination, the defense committee recommended the acceptance of the thesis. The candidate was awarded a Master\u2019s Degree in Economic Geology with a general grade of 85% (Very Good).
