ISLAMABAD: Tethyan Copper, a joint venture between Chile's Antofagasta and Barrick Gold, said on Tuesday it had applied for international arbitration after Pakistan's Baluchistan province rejected a mining lease application for its Reko Diq project.
"We have to initiate arbitral proceedings in order to protect our rights," Tim Livesey, CEO of Tethyan Copper Company (TCC), said in a statement.
However, he said, TCC was open for talks with the Balochistan government to work towards an "amicable, negotiated resolution of the dispute".
