Pakistan’s Growing Role in the Global Minerals Market; PMIF 2026 Set for November 12-13 in Islamabad to Showcase Vast Mineral Wealth to International Investors
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s rich underground mineral wealth is increasingly capturing the attention of global investors. Armed with vast deposits of copper, gold, lithium, and rare earth minerals, Pakistan is firmly resolved to cement its position in the global mineral marketplace.
In line with this strategic vision, the Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum 2026 (PMIF 2026) is scheduled to be held on November 12 and 13 in Islamabad, where lucrative investment opportunities within the mineral sector will be presented to domestic and international investors. Landmark initiatives like the Reko Diq project stand as a testament to Pakistan’s immense mineral capacity and its expanding potential in the global market. The upcoming forum will place special emphasis on mineral exploration, modern technology, processing, and local value addition to maximize economic dividends from national resources.
