White Bridge Mining, under the leadership of renowned U.S. investor Gentry Beach, has signed a groundbreaking agreement with Apex Energy to explore and develop Placer Gold deposits in Pakistan. This deal marks a major step in unlocking Pakistan’s vast untapped mineral resources, valued at over $50 trillion, and integrating the country into global supply chains for critical minerals.
The agreement is a significant milestone for Pakistan’s mining sector, signaling growing international confidence in the country’s potential for advanced mineral exploration and sustainable extraction. It is also expected to pave the way for long-term economic growth by fostering high-value job creation and technological advancements in the sector.
Gentry Beach, a leading investor in strategic resource development, emphasized the importance of the deal: “Pakistan holds extraordinary mineral wealth, and our investment is a testament to our commitment to unlocking its full potential through responsible mining practices and global partnerships. This is a transformative opportunity for Pakistan to position itself as a key supplier in the critical minerals sector while driving economic and technological growth.”
The project is poised to be integrated into the U.S. Department of Defense’s Trusted Partner Program, aimed at securing and diversifying critical mineral supply chains in key global markets. As demand for rare earth elements (REEs) and strategic metals continues to grow, Pakistan’s rich resource base presents an opportunity to strengthen long-term supply resilience and establish a stable, independent mineral economy.
This partnership aligns with international efforts to enhance critical mineral security, positioning Pakistan as a key player in the global mining industry. The agreement also underscores the country’s potential to reduce global dependency on limited mineral sources while enhancing its role as a trusted supplier of high-value minerals.
The project will bring cutting-edge mining technologies and sustainable extraction methods to Pakistan, ensuring responsible development of the country’s mineral wealth and maximizing economic benefits. It is expected to create thousands of high-value jobs, establish advanced mineral processing facilities, and foster strategic trade relationships with key global markets.
