Mineral Concession & Provenance
Balochistan Minerals operates active chromite extraction pits and crushing yards across the famous Muslim Bagh ophiolite complex in Killa Saifullah District and secondary deposits in Khuzdar. Our chrome ore deposits are internationally renowned for their high chromium-to-iron (Cr:Fe) ratio, dense crystalline lumpy structure, and low silica content, making them the preferred raw material for global ferrochrome smelters, stainless steel manufacturers, and chemical refractory producers.

Grain Sizing & Particle Distribution
Industrial Off-Take & Usability
High-Carbon Ferrochrome (HC FeCr)
Ideal charge ore for submerged arc electric furnaces, producing low-impurity ferrochrome for austenitic stainless steel.
Refractory Bricks & Mortars
Hard lumpy chromite with high melting point (>2,000°C) utilized in basic refractory linings for steel ladles and copper converters.
Foundry Chrome Sand
Screened chromite concentrates offering excellent thermal conductivity and resistance to molten metal penetration.
Sodium Dichromate & Chemical Salts
High-purity friable chromite utilized as chemical feedstock for chromium electroplating salts, leather tanning, and pigments.
Mine-to-Port Supply Chain
Integrated handling and transport protocols guarantee that cargo arrives without contamination, moisture elevation, or grain degradation.
