Provincial Resource Analysis
About This Resource Analysis

While section references are directly from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mines and Minerals Act, 2025, numerical data represents illustrative models rather than official statistics. These visualizations demonstrate the relationships and principles described in the bill, with particular focus on provincial control provisions.

Provincial Authority Reference Notes
The figures and visualizations on this page emphasize several key principles established in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mines and Minerals Act, 2025:
- Section 118 (Act to override other laws): Establishes clear provincial primacy in mineral governance
- Section 47 (Revenue allocation): Ensures 63% of mineral wealth remains under provincial control
- Section 65(1)(a): Mandates 15% revenue sharing with local communities, administered by provincial authorities
- Sections 101-103: Creates comprehensive provincial environmental protection framework
