The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources is working on several fronts to effectively explore the country's rich mineral deposits for prosperity and development of the country. Similarly among other projects, the Reko Diq project has tremendous potential to contribute in the uplift of Balochistan's economy in specific and the national economy in general, according to Tethyan Copper Company (TCC) Pakistan (Pvt) Limited, an official said.
The TCC, in partnership with the Government of Balochistan, is evaluating the development of a world-class copper-gold mine at Reko Diq. The project like Reko Diq can really boost the economy and social uplift by employing and training local people, promoting local procurement, community investment programmes, and revenue generation for the provincial government through profits, taxes and royalties and transferring technology.
