Zinc is one of the core base metals recovered from Gilgit-Baltistan’s mineral belts, typically found in combination with lead and copper ores. Gilgistan manages the full process from site licensing through to export-ready supply.
How We Mine It
Zinc ore is extracted alongside lead and copper from Gilgit-Baltistan’s polymetallic deposits, using the same controlled shaft or surface methods depending on the site’s geology. Our exploration teams map each deposit in advance to determine the most efficient and lowest-impact extraction approach.
Once extracted, zinc-bearing ore is crushed and separated through flotation before grading for export. This integrated process allows Gilgistan to responsibly recover multiple metals from a single licensed site.
We also emphasize responsible resource management, focusing on reducing waste, improving recovery rates, and ensuring safe handling of materials throughout the processing chain.
