Asim Munir highlights Pakistan's 'rare earth treasure' after oil deal with US

A report details claims by Pakistan's army chief regarding rare earth minerals. The chief points to a potential $2 billion annual profit for Pakistan from these resources. The Trump administration and the US State Department are noted for their interest in potential hydrocarbon and mineral cooperation with Pakistan. However, the report highlights a history of international companies, including those from Brazil, the United States, and China, facing challenges and exiting Pakistan after investments did not yield profitable results due to security and law and order issues. The idea of rare earth projects has also been linked to efforts to stabilize Balochistan. Previous claims by Pakistani leaders, such as a former Prime Minister's assertion of gold mine discoveries, are also referenced.
