Licensed minerals, supplied and structured.
Durr & Zircon Consortium is a licensed mining group operating eight concessions across Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan. We supply copper, antimony, lead and quartz concentrates, placer gold, nephrite jade and dimension stone to international buyers, and structure joint venture and farm-in agreements with investors seeking exposure to Pakistani critical minerals.

Exploration & Survey for Mine Owners

- Field exploration and geological mapping of your concession
- Topographic and boundary survey with published coordinates
- Formal geological report suitable for lenders, buyers or JV partners
- Representative sampling from your site, split and sealed for assay
- Available to licence holders across Gilgit Baltistan and wider Pakistan

Due Diligence & Documentation
Every claim we make is backed by a document you can inspect. We maintain incorporation certificates, exploration licences, geological reports, topography maps and community agreements as a standing data room.
- Certificates of incorporation for each operating company
- Government-issued exploration licences and lease documentation
- Geological reports and sample assay indications per concession
- Signed community and access agreements for every active site

Guided Site Visits
We accompany investors and buyers to active sites across Gilgit Baltistan. Security clearance, permits, transport and accommodation are arranged by us, and your safety is our responsibility from arrival to departure.

- Transport from Islamabad or Skardu, and on-site accommodation
- Sampling in your presence, with splits sealed for your own assay
- Meetings with local leadership and district mining officials

Regulatory & Community Compliance
We operate under formal agreement with both the provincial authority and the communities whose valleys we work in. Those are the two approvals that most often stall mining projects in this region.
- Royalty and departmental reporting kept current
- Written community agreements covering access and local employment
- Environmental and restoration commitments documented per site
- Transparent chain of custody from pit to port
What buyers and investors ask us first
- Can a foreign company own a mining licence in Pakistan?
- Not directly. Mineral titles in Pakistan can only be granted to a locally incorporated entity, so foreign investors typically participate through a joint venture, a farm-in agreement, or by incorporating a Pakistani subsidiary. We structure and guide either route.
- What minerals does Durr & Zircon Consortium supply?
- Copper, antimony, lead and quartz concentrates, placer gold, nephrite jade, granite and dimension stone, with lithium indications at Bagicha. All are extracted from the ten concessions we hold under licence across Gilgit Baltistan.
- Do you carry out exploration for other mine owners?
- Yes. If you hold a licence but not a technical team, our geologists will explore and survey your concession on contract: field mapping, boundary survey, a formal geological report and sealed samples from your own ground, at agreed rates.
- How can an investor participate in your mines?
- Five routes: a joint venture on a named concession, purchase of equity in the consortium, outright acquisition of a whole mine, direct purchase of raw material or concentrate, or a standing export offtake agreement. Terms are negotiated per concession.
- Is a whole mine available to buy outright?
- Yes. Earth Lux Mines & Minerals, our third registered company, is offered for complete acquisition, and 100% positions on other concessions are open to negotiation. Submit an enquiry through the investor desk and we will share the documentation.
- Do you work with Pakistani investors?
- Yes. We actively welcome domestic partners, including Pakistani industrial groups, corporate investors and private buyers, on the same terms as international counterparties. Local participation also simplifies mineral title, which must sit with a Pakistani entity.
- Have you completed exploration work for other clients before?
- Yes. We hold work orders from previous exploration and survey engagements, available for review by prospective clients. Our team includes professional geologists who carry out the fieldwork, reporting and sampling directly.
- What payment and shipping terms do you accept?
- We quote FOB Karachi or CIF to your discharge port. Payment is normally against an irrevocable letter of credit at sight, with SBLC available for established repeat contracts. Trial shipments are accepted before a monthly offtake commitment.
- Can we visit the mine sites before committing?
- Yes. We arrange NOCs, security permissions, transport and accommodation, and accompany you throughout. You may take your own samples on site and seal splits for independent assay.
- How many concessions do you hold and where?
- Durr & Zircon Consortium holds ten licensed concessions across seven districts of Gilgit Baltistan: Shigar, Kharmang, Skardu, Gilgit, Ghizer, Hunza and Roundu. Earth Lux Mines & Minerals, our third company, holds Jutial Nala and Gupis and is offered for acquisition.
