Mineral Concession & Provenance
Balochistan’s ophiolitic and volcano-sedimentary belts in Lasbela and Khuzdar host extensive manganese mineral deposits dominated by pyrolusite ($MnO_2$) and psilomelane. Balochistan Minerals supplies lumpy metallurgical manganese ore specifically blended and screened for silicomanganese (SiMn) and ferromanganese (FeMn) production, agricultural micronutrients, and dry-cell battery manufacturing.
