Globacore Minerals
Mining Pakistan’s
Sustainable Future
Overview
Turning Natural Wealth into
National Prosperity
Beneath Pakistan’s rugged mountains, sweeping deserts and untapped geological belts, lies a wealth of critical minerals that is only now beginning to be understood. As global industries transition towards cleaner energy, advanced technologies and high-performance materials, strategic mineral resources have become indispensable.
Pakistan is richly endowed with a wide range of mineral resources, including copper, gold, chromite, dimension stones, rare earth elements (REEs), antimony, lead, zinc, barite and other minerals which are only now being discovered such as niobium.
World-class tier 1 deposits in areas such as Chagai (Reko Diq is one of the largest undeveloped copper-gold resources globally) and Thar coal (among the world’s largest lignite reserves) highlight the vast geological potential.
The mining sector currently contributes less than 1% to the national GDP but the landscape is now changing rapidly.
About Globacore
Unlocking Sustainable Mining Opportunities for the Future
Globacore Minerals Limited (GML or Globacore) is owned by Pakistan Corporate Consortium, which comprises several of the Country’s most progressive and leading corporates including Fatima Group, Arif Habib Group, Lake City, Hilton Pharma, Soorty Group, and the DIN Group.
Globacore Minerals Limited is at the forefront of Pakistan’s large-scale mining sector. We offer a unique gateway into one of the world’s most promising yet unexplored copper belt, presenting partners with a pathway to build a sustainable, long-term venture aligned with the global shift toward decarbonization and clean energy, which underpins the long term demand for copper.
Global Standards & Expertise
Minerals Focus
Globacore’s initial focus is on Gold and Copper, though it will evaluate opportunities in Antimony, Lead, Zinc, Silver, Platinum Group Metals, Molybdenum, Iron Ore and associated Minerals.
Its geographical investment focus spans across the Chagai Belt, Wushuk and KPK Province.
It employs international best practices to undertake a systematic exploration approach leveraging global consultants and advanced geoscience technologies to identify and develop target lease areas.
Globacore has taken the lead as Pakistan’s leading private sector group advancing the exploration and responsible development of critical minerals essential for ensuring integration of Pakistan into the global supply chain for energy transition critical metals.

Policy & Government
Support
The Balochistan Mines and Minerals Act 2025 has been enacted to promote a stable and enabling environment for mining investment, including simplification of licensing, lease administration, and regulatory processes to support domestic and foreign participation.
Chagai Belt Exploration
Geography & Exploration
Globacore Minerals has commissioned a team of local and international exploration and mining experts to undertake systematic geo-scientific exploration in the Chagai Belt, a key segment of the Tethyan metallogenic system in northwestern Balochistan.
This world-class mineral belt hosts major copper-gold deposits, including Reko Diq and Saindak, and features a diverse spectrum of mineralization styles, from porphyry systems and skarns to epithermal and hydrothermal deposits.
The Chagai Arc lies along the western margin of the Indo-Pakistan Plate adjacent to the Eurasian Plate and represents a Late Cretaceous-Tertiary island-arc system formed by Neo-Tethys subduction.
The exploration team is employing geological mapping, remote sensing, conductivity analysis, sampling, and integrated geophysical datasets. Based on this comprehensive technical evaluation, priority target zones have been identified accordingly.
Advancing Critical Minerals
Active Exploration and Mining Leases
Globacore Minerals has formed a strategic joint venture with Mari Minerals, covering over ~964 sq.km across two license areas in the Chagai Magmatic Belt, to fast-track large-scale exploration and development of Copper, Gold, and critical mineral resources. Exploration in the area has already progressed to the drilling stage.
In addition, Globacore has secured regulatory approval for an exploration lease of approximately 400 sq.km in the mineral-rich vicinity of Koh-i-Sultan and is actively pursuing additional leases across Chagai.
In parallel, it is advancing antimony exploration over ~800 sq.km in the Washuk area of Balochistan.
Pakistan’s Metals, Minerals
& Rare Earth Elements
Catalyzing a new economic horizon
With its emerging potential in these critical mineral resources, Pakistan is increasingly positioned at the center of a rapidly transforming global economy. These resources include metals like Copper and Gold, key energy transition minerals such as Lithium, Cobalt, Nickel, and other including Chromite, Antimony and Rare earths.
Copper & Gold
Catalyzing a new economic horizon
Reko Diq and its surrounding areas like Saindak, located in Balochistan’s Chagai Magmatic Arc and Tethyan Metallogenic Belt, hosts some of the largest known Copper and Gold reserves in Pakistan. These metals remain central to industrial electrification, electronics, aerospace and in the case of gold as a strategic financial assets.
Chromite
Resilience refined by nature
Chromite occurs widely across Balochistan, including Muslim Bagh, Khuzdar and other ophiolite belts. Pakistan’s chrome exports are valued for their high grade and quality chromium content. Its uses include applications linked to heat resistance, stainless steel production, refractory materials and advanced alloys.
Cobalt
Igniting innovation at extreme performance
Cobalt is a globally critical mineral and a key component for high performance rechargeable batteries. It occurs mainly as a by-product in Copper, Nickel and polymetallic deposits across Northern Pakistan and Balochistan. While still an emerging resource, its economic discovery and resource identification will allow Pakistan to be a potential key global supplier.
Antimony
Strengthening materials, enabling innovation
Vein-type and dissipated Antimony deposits in Balochistan and Pakistan’s Northern mineral belts provide essential global supply chain prospects for Antimony. Given its durable and heat resistant properties, antimony demand continues to grow in the modern economy across multiple applications.
Praseodymium
Powering precision in modern engineering
Pakistan has the potential for economically significant rare earth deposits across Gilgit Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, occurring in monazite and bastnaesite bearing formations. Praseodymium, known for its unique magnetic, optical and chemical properties is an important rare earth element. Used in high-performance magnets, aerospace alloys, specialty glass and precision optics, it is a globally significant critical mineral.
Lithium
Charging a cleaner, smarter tomorrow
Preliminary Lithium deposits identified in Gilgit-Baltistan, Chagai and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa occur in brine as well as hard-rock pegmatite spodumene formations. These resources are strategically important for energy transition and are a key component of electric vehicle batteries for energy storage, consumer electronics and defense technologies.
