Diq mining project located in Balochistan. It is an over US $ 3 billion project with a mine life of 58 year. The annual production at Reko Diq is estimated at 200,000 tons of copper and 250,000 ounces of gold from 600,000 tons of concentrates requiring 110,000 tons of ore to be processed daily. By international benchmark it is a large mining project and the largest investment and technology-driven mining project of Pakistan. The project mining and technical studies started in 2006. Tethyan Copper Company (TCC) of Australia was awarded the contract to prepare the project feasibility study. In 2010, they presented the bankable feasibility study to the Government of Pakistan. In 2011, TCC submitted to the government a Mining Lease agreement, which was rejected by the government of Baluchistan. TCC consequently opted for international arbitration at International Centre for settlement of investment disputes and at the International Chamber of Commerce against government of Pakistan and Balochistan respectively asserting breaches of the bilateral investment treaty between Pakistan and Australia and breach of JV agreement between TCC and government of Balochistan. The status today is that Reko Diq is dormant and there are no signs of its resurgence soon.
