Main purpose of the establishment of this Company was to establish large mining and mineral processing projects in the country and afford consultancy services to the mining industry of the country through Company’s pool of experts.
During its entire life of 28 years the Company has remained busy in the exploration/ development of its own projects (Khushab Marble, Khushab Coal, Mari Indus Dolomite, Dandot Salt, Barit / Hunkui Copper, Nokundi Iron ore etc) and in the consultancy services to a number of mining companies, mineral processing industries and individuals engaged in mining, mineral processing or marketing of minerals.
