Our Story

Documenting Pakistan's Golden Legacy

PakGoldMines.com was founded in 2010 by a team of geologists, mining engineers, and cultural researchers passionate about sharing Pakistan's remarkable mineral and jewelry heritage with the world. Our editorial office is located at 12 Sarwar Road, Cantonment, Lahore, Punjab 54000, Pakistan — where our team of researchers, geologists and writers work daily to produce accurate, up-to-date content.

With over 16 years of research, field visits, and expert collaboration, we have built the most comprehensive English and Urdu language resource on Pakistan's gold sector — covering everything from world-class deposits like Reko Diq to the intricate Kundan jewelry of Old Lahore.

Our mission is to educate, inform, and promote awareness of Pakistan's gold mining industry and the centuries-old jewelry craftsmanship traditions that transform mined gold into cultural treasures.

Our Mission & Values

Education First

We believe that comprehensive, accurate information about Pakistan's mineral resources empowers better decisions — whether for research, investment or cultural appreciation. Every article on this site is thoroughly fact-checked and reviewed by industry experts before publication.

Cultural Heritage Preservation

Pakistan's gold jewelry traditions represent centuries of artisan knowledge. We document and promote these crafts to ensure that traditional goldsmithing techniques are recognised, valued, and preserved for future generations alongside industrial developments.
