By producing 7.746 tonnes of gold during the last five years – 2004 to 2008 – Pakistan has joined the ranks of gold producing countries.
According to the data available with the Sandak Metal Limited – during the last five years – Pakistan has produced 86,013 tonnes of copper, 7.746 tonne gold and 11.046 tonne silver, besides the production of 14,482 tonnes of magnetite concentrate (iron), bringing in a total of $633.573 million.
Just because we lack the extraction technology we have to sell these minerals in their raw form to the others countries who extract the end product and earn millions from it. We need more industries like Sandak in Balochistan for the utilization of the minerals found there....
A little country like singapore exports more then Pakistan and they have no raw materials, they import them and then turn them into products and export them, in Pakistan we have almost everything and can make these products alot cheaper then these countries in the far east who exports billions and billions every month at high rates....
When will our govt. wake up???
