to Australia

Faisal & rest of the folks,
does any one knew this ?? I havent get to know about this from any TV of press
I get to know from one Fwd email ... 21 Billion $ ? what the hell we are doing
? oh sorry! what else we can do except of shouting? :( anyways... interesting
news that like to share...
Reko Diq is a small town in Chagai District, Balochistan. World's 5th largest
Gold and Copper reserves are found in Reko Diq.
Tethyan Copper of Australia has taken the contract to develop this mine.
Barrick Gold Corporation of Canada and Antofagasta of Chile have
joint-ownership of the copper-gold deposit at Reko Diq.
The Reko Diq deposit is being explored by Tethyan Copper Company Pty Ltd (75%)
and the (BDA)Balochistan Development Authority (25%). Tethyan Copper Company is
held jointly (50:50) by Barrick Gold Corporation and Antofagasta Minerals.
Currently the deposit is at scoping / pre feasibility stage. It is a world
class copper / gold porphyry style deposit, typical of the tethyan belt.
It was recently sold to the foreign controlled regimes by the Pakistani
Government at a price of $21 billion. Rough estimates suggest that the gold and
copper at the surface accounts for $65 billion worth of deposits. Tell me how
many of us know about it ...remember the total debt on Pakistani Nation is
$38b, Now the question is why Pakistani media and Govt is silent about it?
Why it is being kept a secret from Pakistani Nation?
