Our land is blessed with so many resources, but it always comes down to our Governments and their incompetence in making sure that these resources are discovered and used for the betterment of our nation.

Unfortunately, we're known for selling these off to our foreign masters so that they can fully benefit from our resources. Take the Baluchistan's gold reserves for an example. We've been selling them off to foreign agencies for dirt cheap prices. If only we realize that spending funds on projects which are meant to discover our natural resources such as Gold, Natural Gas, Oil and Coal, only then we'll be able to establish long term prosperity for our undeveloped regions.

You are absolutely right, those who spend billions on project would not mind paying off millions to the corrupt politicians.
As per available statistics rikodiq is perhaps the second biggest copper/gold reserves in the world, having very rich content of gold.
I can gaurante you that no foreign company will tell truth about how much gold exactly they are separating.
If we have to control it than we need to force the investing company to setup seperation plant and produce gold and copper pallets in Pakistan and than share the profit.
All foreign investment companies cleverly skip to build final process in the mining country and take the sludge to third country.
Problem with the sludge is that it will be impossible to determine how much gold and copper is in it.
 
SummerWine Sir,
Whenever an Oil well's productivity is mentioned in barrels, its always meant with respect to its production per day...
 
Great News. I totally agree with Batman and Bezerk
