We are doing activities in the GB area of Pakistan which is considered rich in precious stones and metallic and non-metallic minerals.
Gilgit Baltistan has widely diversified geology indicating vast mineral potential. It has widely varied geological frame work, ranging from a diverse suit of metallic minerals, industrial minerals, precious and semi-precious gemstones. Primarily these minerals which have good chances of being explored as well as assumed to be attractive for prospective investors. National Mineral Policy (NMP) was formulated in 1995 to develop the mineral sector of the country. Different aspects of NMP have been implemented in the provinces to a varying degree but up till now no major breakthrough has been achieved in the sector primarily due to lack of infrastructure facilities in the mineral bearing areas and high risk nature of investment in the sector.
In spite of the fact that GB Mineral Potential is diversified in terms of classes and of minerals and its relations with the well known metallogenic system and types, presently mineral exploration to a large extent is in the early stages of first cycle of modern exploration in which exploration is aimed at the discovery of large outcropping mineral deposits rather than buried or blind deposits which require high technology, high risk and expensive exploration program.
Mineral sector of GB indeed a high potential sector, can contribute beyond the imagination. The explored area witnesses the presence of variety of metallic and non-metallic mineral deposits.
