OGDC has made a landmark discovery by identifying lithium in geothermal formation water from a pilot well in Sindh, marking the first such finding in Pakistan.
Initial analysis suggests lithium concentrations are comparable to leading geothermal brine projects worldwide. The company plans further technical studies to determine the size and commercial viability of the resource.
If confirmed, the discovery could support Pakistan's entry into the global critical minerals market, attract foreign investment, and strengthen industries linked to electric vehicle batteries, energy storage, and advanced technologies, while promoting sustainable lithium extraction through geothermal resources.
