  "summary": "The Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum 2026 (PMIF26) concluded in Islamabad with Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif inviting international investors to explore Pakistan's mineral wealth. The forum attracted over 10,000 participants from more than 60 countries and emphasized Pakistan's commitment to moving beyond exporting raw minerals to developing domestic processing and refining facilities. Key announcements included the Frontier Works Organization's discovery of an estimated 350 million tonnes of copper in Chagai, Balochistan, and Mari Minerals' discovery of gold and copper reserves in Chagai with a potential of around 1 billion tonnes of copper and gold. Federal Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik also highlighted Pakistan's push into critical minerals such as copper, gold, lithium, and antimony, with a focus on domestic refining, advanced geological mapping, and infrastructure upgrades.",
