Salt MineProduct(s)CoordinatesAssociated townOwnerDatesCommentsKhewra Salt MinesSaltKhewraPakistan Mineral Development Corporation (PMDC)????-PresentIt is said that when Alexander visited South Asia, coming across the Jhelum and Mianwali region, Khewra Salt Mines were discovered. The discovery of the mines, however, was not made by Alexander nor his "allies", but by his horse. It is stated that when Alexander's army stopped here for rest, the horses started licking the stones. One of his soldiers took notice of it and when he tasted the rock stone, it was salty thus leading to the discovery of the mines.Bahadurkhel mineSaltBahadur KhelGhani Salt MineSaltWarchaGhani Mines Pvt Ltd1963–presentWarcha salt mineSaltWarchaPakistan Mineral Development Corporation (PMDC)1872–present
