Copper Mining in Pakistan primarily takes place in the following locations:
- Saindak and Reko Diq in Balochistan Province: These are two major copper mining areas in Balochistan. The Saindak Copper-Gold Mine is located near the town of Saindak in Chagai District, while the Reko Diq copper-gold project is located in the Tethyan belt of Balochistan.
- Duddar in Balochistan Province: The Duddar Zinc-Lead Mine, operated by Pakistan Mineral Development Corporation (PMDC), also produces a significant amount of copper as a byproduct.
- Waziristan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province: The North Waziristan District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is known for its copper deposits. However, due to security concerns and ongoing conflicts in the region, mining activities have been limited.
- Chitral in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province: Chitral, located in the northern part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has potential copper deposits. However, commercial-scale mining operations have not been fully established in this area.
These locations contain significant copper reserves, and mining companies have conducted exploration and extraction activities in these areas. The Balochistan Province, in particular, is known for its rich copper deposits and has attracted significant investment in the mining sector.
