China became the largest producer of gold in 2007 overtaking South Africa's long standing lead. This is primarily because of large number of Iinvestment companies puring money into china's mining companies.

Pakistan is sure a wealthy country and no doubt we are the third best producer of gold.I assume that there are some untouched gold reserves in our country and with some more investment and manpower we can be among the biggest producers.Our mineral wealth can surely boast our economy to new heights but we need to pay some more attention to it.

This country has world class mines. There are a lot of mines coming up and many discoveries made recently. The country is virgin and it has a huge untouched mineral reserve yet to be discovered.
