How it works

From survey to shipment

Four stages, one standard. Each stage is planned, recorded and checked before the next one begins.

  1. 01

    Survey

    Mapping, sampling and testing establish what the deposit holds and how to work it.

  2. 02

    Extract

    Planned extraction by trained crews, with safety procedures at every working face.

  3. 03

    Process

    Crushing, screening and sorting turn raw rock into consistent, graded product.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    Weighed, documented and loaded for delivery by road or by container.

Focus mineral

Built around rock salt.

Pakistan's rock salt is known worldwide, from clear white crystal to deep pink. We sort, grade and pack it to your specification for food, industry, livestock and décor.

Grades & specifications

Halite grows in cubes. So does our mark.

  • Forward-thinking.

Our mark

A block built from S and Z.

The SZ symbol is a geometric block made from the letters S and Z, inspired by the structures of a working mine. Its cube form also echoes halite, the mineral behind rock salt, which grows in cubic crystals.

Forest green, charcoal and mineral beige carry the same idea: strength, stability and the natural character of the ground we work.

Services

From first survey to final shipment.

Five services cover the full life of a mineral resource. Use one, or bring us in from the first sample to the last container.

Exploration & surveying

Before anyone commits capital, we establish what the ground holds. Field mapping, sampling and laboratory testing define the extent and quality of a deposit, and how it can be worked safely and economically.

Ask about exploration

Includes

  • Geological field mapping
  • Surface, channel and core sampling
  • Laboratory assay coordination
  • Resource assessment reporting
  • Input to mine planning

Extraction

We extract to a plan, with trained crews and safety procedures at every working face. Methods are matched to the deposit, including room-and-pillar mining for underground salt seams, where pillars of rock are left in place to keep the workings stable.

Ask about extraction

Includes

  • Mine planning and scheduling
  • Room-and-pillar and open-cut methods
  • Trained, equipped crews
  • Ventilation and PPE standards
  • Daily production records

Processing & grading

Run-of-mine rock becomes saleable product through crushing, screening and sorting. Each lot is graded by colour, purity and size, so you receive the material you agreed to buy.

Ask about processing

Includes

  • Crushing and screening to size
  • Colour and purity sorting
  • Lumps, granules and fine powder
  • Lot sampling before dispatch
  • Custom specifications on request

Supply & logistics

We pack, weigh, document and load to order, for delivery by road within Pakistan or by container through Karachi for export.

Ask about supply

Includes

  • 25 kg and 50 kg bags, 1 t jumbo bags, loose bulk
  • Weighbridge slip for every load
  • Export documentation support
  • Supervised container loading
  • Shipment updates until delivery

Development & partnerships

We look for long-term opportunities in Pakistan's minerals sector and develop them with partners who share our standards: landholders, investors and buyers who want a dependable counterpart.

Includes

  • Joint ventures and lease development
  • Offtake and supply agreements
  • Feasibility and due-diligence support
  • Regular, transparent reporting

Transparent dealing

Clear contracts, accurate weights and honest updates, including when plans change.

Responsible operations

We follow Pakistan's mining regulations and respect the land and communities around our sites.
