Gold is a chemical element which attracts most of the attention among common public. In its purest form, it is a bright, slightly reddish yellow, dense, soft, malleable, and ductile metal. Along with many chemical properties, it is one of the least reactive chemical elements and is solid under customary conditions.

Baryte or Barite (BaSO4) is a mineral comprising of Barium Sulphate. This group of mineral consists of Baryte, Celestine, Anglesite and Anhydrite. Usually Baryte is white or colourless.
Barite derives its name from the Ancient Greek word “ barús” which means ‘heavy’. The International Mineralogical Association initially adopted “Barite” as the official spelling, but recommended adopting “Baryte” later. This remains a topic of discussion at the present time as well.
The largest deposits of Baryte is located near Khuzdar with a total hold of over 2.00 million tonnes. Systematic mining as well as grating of this mineral started in the year 1976.

Iron Ores are rocks from which metallic iron can be economically mined. They are usually rich in Iron Oxides and differs in colour from dark grey, bright yellow, or deep purple to rusty red.
Taking Balochistan in to account, Chaghi, a mineral rich area, possesses nearly 30 million tonnes of Iron Ore. Geological Survey states that the deposits of Chiltan Limestone and Sembar are found near Johan in Dilband area of Mastung district. The reserves have been cautiously estimated at over 200 million tonnes.

This multipurpose chemical Calcium Chloride sis extensively employed in the following areas:

1. Crude Oil and Gas sector as fluid additive in drilling operation
2. Hydrocarbon dehydration,
3. Ice melting as quick deicing agent
4. Refrigerant liquor
5. Concrete acceleration
6. Hardener in paper corrugated board industry
7. Brine for food processing
8. Purification/ Treatment of drinking water produced through deionization and sea brine reverse osmosis process and a host of other diversified applications including agriculture.

The Entire product is manufactured in accordance with international specifications required for Food Grade Material. As such our Calcium Chloride Prills can be particularly / safely utilized by national/multinational organizations engaged in preparation and bottling Drinking Water in addition to any other food grade application.

Chromite is scientifically Iron Chromium oxide (FeCr2O4). It is considered as the most industrially important mineral for steel manufacturing, especially for the production of metallic chromium, which functions as an alloying ingredient. Chromite is found in the Earth’s mantle. It is found in metamorphic rocks. The chromium removed from chromite is used in plating and alloying for resisting corrosion and erosion. It is also used as a coating to give a pigment to glass and for giving a tan to leather products. Moreover it is used as a gemstone at times.

Notable deposits of Chromite are found at Balochistan, mainly in areas such as: Muslimbagh, Killa Saifullah. Lasbela, Khuzdar, Kharan and Chaghi districts etc. Private sector has shown much interest in mining this mineral here.

Copper is a soft, flexible, and pliable metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. The freshly visible surface of pure copper has a reddish-orange colour. Copper is used in metal alloys, such as sterling silver used in jewellery, marine hardware, coins etc.

Balochistan’s Copper deposits are found in the Saindak mine which is estimated to have reserves of 412 million tonnes containing on average 0.5 gram of gold per ton and 1.5 grams of silver per ton. According to official estimates, the project has the volume to yield 15,800 ton of blister copper annually, containing 1.5 ton of gold.

Limestone is a sedimentary rock majorly consists of the materials such as Calcite and Aragonite, which are different forms of Calcium Carbonate. It is proven that around 10% of sedimentary rocks are limestone. The use of Limestone various from an essential component of concrete (Portland cement), as aggregate for the base of roads, as white pigment or filler in products such as toothpaste or paints, as a chemical feedstock for the production of lime, as a soil conditioner, or as a popular decorative addition to rock gardens.
Limestone deposits are in abundance in different parts of Balochistan. Several hundred meters thick layers of limestone, at places dolomitic, occur in Chiltan Formation of Jurassic age in Quetta and Kalat. Along with that Harnai, Sor Range, and Spintangi areas have reserves of limestone.

Lead is a comparatively soft metal with the colour of blue-grey and is probably the earliest discovered metal in the history. Zinc is the third most used non-ferrous metal after aluminium and copper. It is mainly used for electrifying steel to protect it from rusting. Zinc mixtures and dusts are used in cosmetics, plastics, rubber, ointments, sun screen creams, soaps, paints, ink, fertilisers and batteries.The Duddar mine of Balochistan is one of the largest lead and zinc mines in Pakistan.The mine has reserves estimated to 50 million tonnes of ore grading 3.2% lead and 7% zinc thus resulting 1.6 million tonnes of lead and 3.5 million tonnes of zinc.

Marble is a form of metamorphic rock. In geology the term “marble” mentions to transformed limestone. It is commonly used for sculpture and construction.
Larger deposits of marble are found throughout the districts of Chaghi, Dalbandin and extending to the borders of Iran. Other half is spread to Pak-Afghan border areas namely Zardkan, Siah-Chang, Jhulli, Patkok, Maskichah, Zeh, Chilgazi and Buttak. A superior quality a dark green marble, found in Chaghi. This is found in Bolan, Lasbela and Khuzdar districts.

Quartzite is a hard, non-foliated metamorphic rock formed from quartz sandstone. The sandstone is transformed into Quartzite by increasing the temperature and pressure. Pure Quartzite’s colour is usually white to grey which varies into shades of pink and red as per the varying amounts of Iron Oxide.
This is a reasonably considered as the newly discovered mineral. Its deposits in Balochistan is found in Lasbela district.

Sulphur is a chemical element which is plentiful, multivalent, and non-metallic. The elemental Sulphur is a bright yellow crystalline solid which is visible at room temperature. As an active element, its chemical reaction is well appreciated with all elements except for Gold, Platinum, Iridium, Tellurium, and the noble gases. In ancient records, Sulphur is called brimstone. Today, almost all rudimentary sulphur is shaped as a by-product of removing sulphur-containing contaminants from natural gas and petroleum. The greatest commercial use of this element is the making of sulphuric acid and for sulphate and phosphate fertilizers, and other chemical procedures.
Sulphur deposits are accessible at Koh-e-Sultan in District Chaghi. Three of the main deposits are gathered around the Southern half of the extinct volcano, Koh-e-Sultan. The deposits are of fumaroles origin and native Sulphur is found in cracks and as impregnation in volcanic tuffs.
