Details:
The Pakistani government will be holding a “first-ever” mineral summit in the country on August 1 to explore vast potential of the minerals industry. The South Asian country has vast reserves of several metallic and non-metallic mineral reserves, including those of gold, copper, iron, chromite, barites, gypsum, and rock salt. The development comes a month after Pakistan established the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) to address the cash-strapped nation’s economic woes by drawing international attention to business opportunities in the fields of agriculture, mining, information technology and defense production in Pakistan.
