In Pakistan u have forget to mention one of the biggest Gold Reserve located in Reko Diq , Baluchistan , Pakistan . Pakistan has gold mines in Baluchistan Province and in Thar desert , Sindh .

Poor Quality coal but these reserves are 5th largest coal in the world .

One of the biggest Jem Mines located in Northern areas of Pakistan most prominent RUBY .

The above mentioned data is obtained from CIA website. Kindly update it.
