Pakistan is endowed with a rich variety of mineral resources due to its diverse geological structures. Minerals found in Pakistan include coal, which is used for energy; limestone, essential for cement manufacturing; gypsum, used in plaster; marble, which Pakistan is famously known for; salt, abundant especially in the Khewra Salt Mines; and chromite, used in making stainless steel. These minerals are not just important for domestic use but also for export, which helps in earning foreign currency for the country.
