Pakistan Mineral Investment Forum 2025 takes center stage at Islamabad

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum 2025 has commenced in Islamabad as the world is witnessing the massive mineral potential of Pakistan.

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar noted that Pakistan is moving into a new era of economic development, with trends in its economic indicators and extensive international recognition of the country‘s progress.

The Deputy Prime Minister recognized the country’s considerable natural resources, including large amounts of gold and copper, and added that the youth demographic is one of the country’s biggest assets.

The overarching purpose of holding the forum is to bring global investment into the mining sector and promote specific major projects such as Reko Diq, which is one of the largest undeveloped copper-gold projects in the world.

Reko Diq is located in the Chagai district of the province of Balochistan and offers substantial investment and growth opportunities. Interestingly, that district is facing underdevelopment and lacks infrastructure and basic services like education, healthcare, and clean water.

Forum Objectives

•  Bringing Global Investment: To review lucrative investment opportunities in Pakistan’s emerging minerals sector. 
• Showcasing Pakistan’s Mineral Potential: Presenting the country’s vast untapped mineral potential.
•  National Minerals Harmonisation Framework: Launching a new policy designed to create an investor-friendly environment and ease barriers to investment, from a regulatory perspective, in the mining space.
