KP Mineral Sector Investment: Governor Invites Chinese Firms

A November 7 meeting in Peshawar focused on KP mineral sector investment, with the governor promising facilities for firms and access to economic zones.

Governor Faisal Karim Kundi invited Chinese investors on November 7 to explore mining and mineral processing in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The province has gemstones, marble, granite, limestone, chromite, oil and gas reserves, and hydropower potential.

Investors discussed mining, modern extraction methods and local processing with the governor's adviser on minerals, Dr Sarfaraz Ali Shah.

Officials say viable proposals, clear rules, infrastructure and security must be in place before projects can proceed.
