Investors to explore mineral potential

Islamabad is set to host the Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum 2026 on November 12-13, bringing together mining executives, investors, policymakers, financiers and technical specialists. The government-organised event, endorsed by the Special Investment Facilitation Council, is intended to encourage investment in Pakistan’s minerals sector and connect it more closely with international supply chains.

The agenda includes financing early exploration, preparing skilled workers and expanding women’s participation in mining. Delegates will also discuss projects linked to active licences, antimony prospects and pathways to production, while the second day includes discussions among ministers on policy, local value creation, regional cooperation and investor-ready conditions. The programme follows the previous forum and highlights exploration, processing and sustainable mining as areas for engagement.
