5th largest gold, copper reserves found in Chagai
QUETTA: The world’s fifth largest gold and copper reserves have been discovered in the Chagai area of Balochistan, Provincial Mineralogy Department Director General Maqbool Ahmad was quoted as saying by Voice of America (VoA) on Wednesday.
Ahmad said that two multinational companies - one Canadian and the other Chilean - which had been issued licences to explore gold in the Rekodik area 10 years ago, had completed the exploration work and designed a project to extract gold and copper from the sites. The two companies will invest $1 billion in the project, he added.
Ahmad said the project would produce 0.2 million tonnes of copper and 0.4 million ounces of gold annually. He said the Balochistan government would get 25 percent of the earnings from the project that would also create 3,000 new jobs for local youths.
