Reko Diq


Did you know?

Reko Diq is a giant copper and gold project place in Chaghi, Pakistan making it one of the largest copper & gold reserves in the world. The main license (EL5) is held jointly by the Government of Balochistan (25%), Antofagasta Minerals (37.5%) and Barrick Gold.

Reko Diq could be called Tangav Diq, or Gold Peak, because below the sands lie some 12.3 million tons of copper and 20.9 million ounces of gold. The copper-gold deposits at Reko Diq are believed to be even bigger than those of Sarcheshmeh in Iran and Escondida in Chile which makes it the largest copper & gold reserve of the world.

Picture at bottom shows the rock extracted from Reko Diq mine clearly displays the existence of large amount of gold on it.
