Pakistan has immense reserves of various metals and industrial minerals.
Important minerals found in Pakistan are gypsum, limestone, chromite, iron ore, rock salt, copper, gold, silver, graphite, sulfur, fire clay, rare-earth metals and silica etc. The Geological Survey of Pakistan estimates that mineral reserves they have mapped are, in dollar terms, between $12 and $15 trillion. Given the average of 30 percent recovery with current technology it still translates into $4 to $5 trillion recovery ratio of known reserves.

Sindh province is also the largest producer of natural gas and small quantities of oil. The province actively encourages investment in the oil and gas and in the mineral sector
