Overview

About the project

Ore from our mine sites is hauled to our stockyard at Yousuf Goth, Karachi. There it is stockpiled, prepared and, before any loading, sampled and assayed by SGS Pakistan against an agreed sampling plan.

Between August and September 2024 we shipped 1,158 tonnes across three vessels in 42 twenty-foot containers. Independent assays confirmed zinc grades of 31–39% and lead of 11–13%, with silver credits in lead-rich lots.

The process

From mine face to vessel.

Each lot moves through the same four steps, and each step is on camera.

  1. 01

    Explore & Extract

    Survey, drill and mine the deposit, with site camps and equipment in remote, high-altitude terrain.

  2. 02

    Stockpile & Prepare

    Ore is hauled to our Karachi yard, then sorted, stockpiled and prepared for shipment.

  3. 03

    Inspect & Assay

    Every lot is sampled and assayed by SGS before loading, so buyers know exactly what they receive.

  4. 04

    Ship & Deliver

    Loaded into containers and shipped from Karachi to smelters and processors in China.
