The Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum 2025 has marked the beginning of a new chapter in the country's mining industry, promising a mining revolution that will unlock vast potential for economic growth and stability.
The metallogenic belt, stretching from Balochistan to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is rich with deposits of gold, copper, iron, precious stones, and other rare minerals.
At the heart of this revolution lies Reko Diq, a site that holds some of the world’s largest reserves of gold and copper. These vast reserves are not only considered a source of significant wealth but are also viewed as a key guarantee for the country’s economic stability.
"Reko Diq is not just a mine; it is the embodiment of Pakistan's mineral dreams," said the Minister of Mines and Minerals. His statement highlighted the importance of the region in transforming Pakistan's mineral sector.
The forum, a joint initiative by entities like New Tech, New Tech, Sej, and Hunar Foundation, has been instrumental in training mining experts.
Pakistani youth are receiving cutting-edge education in mining at institutions in Argentina and Zambia, positioning them to contribute to the future of the industry.
The government’s introduction of the National Mineral Harmonisation Framework 2025 has established an investment-friendly environment, laying the foundation for further growth in the sector.
The Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum has also opened new avenues for development and employment in mineral-rich areas, offering local communities golden opportunities for training and employment within the mining sector.
