Where our investors and buyers come from.
China, the United States, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Thailand, and Pakistan each have a distinct reason to look at Gilgit Baltistan right now. Find your market below.
China
Chinese investment in Pakistan's mineral sector has deepened well beyond the established Saindak copper-gold and Duddar lead-zinc joint ventures.
United States
A $500 million partnership between Pakistan and US Strategic Metals is already moving physical tonnage, not just signatures.
Saudi Arabia
Domestic exploitation licences in Saudi Arabia were up 220 percent in 2025, and that same capital has started looking outward.
UAE
The UAE has taken a more selective approach to critical minerals than Saudi Arabia's broader build-out, but it remains one of the Gulf states most active in the region, and Pakistan features in combined Gulf investment estimates running as high as $50 billion over five years alongside Saudi commitments.
Thailand
Thailand is a global hub for colored gemstones and finished jewellery, and Thai buyers are already among the primary export markets for Pakistani gems, alongside Sri Lanka, Western Europe and the US.
Pakistan
Domestic investors skip the one real complication foreign capital has to structure around: mineral titles in Gilgit Baltistan can only be granted to a locally incorporated entity, and a Pakistani company already is one.
Australia
Australia is not a market we are pitching a raw material sale to.
South Korea
South Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy set an explicit target in its critical minerals strategy: cut dependence on critical minerals from any single dominant supplier from around 80 percent to roughly 50 percent by 2030, with antimony named among the ten minerals treated as strategically vital for semiconductor and battery production.
