Previous T. C.C. lucrative investment offer was based on mining and production of Copper Concentrate (28% pure Copper ore) which they wanted to carry via pipe line to Gawader port for exporting to smelters and refiners of the developed countries like USA, JAPAN, CHILE etc., where it were to be utilized to produce value added products (e.g. future extensive use of 99.99% pure Copper will be in the manufacturing of various components of hybrid motor vehicles).
ReplyDeleteAlso the above T.C.C scheme of carrying the Concentrate to Gawader port, would have caused severe shortage of drinking and agricultural water in the already arid Balochistan and also unrecoverable environmental problems at Gawader Port which was also the violation of the international environmental law.
Any prospective investment offer should be based on setting the following steps wise integrated Copper mining and manufacturing Plants at mine mouth so that youth of the province could get maximum sustainable jobs and a rational share of the province to get maximum economic benefits of the resources.

Acquiring the capability of producing 99.99% LME Grade pure Copper , would provide further opportunities to set the Copper based downstream industries in the country for a market of 18 millions Pakistanis and also for exports as shown below.

The purpose of preparing videos (an extract of 80 videos) of steps wise Copper production by myself, was an attempt to demonstrate and make the Pakistanis understand how the Contractor’s lucrative investment scheme would have caused multi loses to Pakistanis which are once again summarized below.
ReplyDelete-Depriving Pakistanis of acquiring a capability of becoming a self sufficient Industrial nation.
-Lose of thousands of Jobs and revenue generated by downstream industries.
- As there is no surface water available in Chagai, Kharan and surroumding areas of Balochistan, so the fresh drinking and agricultural water is obtained from earthen or Karez, underground water channels connected to open well system making the life sustainable. So any misuse of fresh water like scheme proposed by the contractor T.C.C. ,will create a worse draft of fresh water available in the area rapidly, in forth coming years.
- Instead of recycling of fresh water as the reputed mining companies do, T.C.C scheme is to continuously pump the underground fresh water and mixe with the ore to produce 28% Copper concentrate and waste in carrying the slurry bearing copper concentrate via pipe line from Reko Diq to Gawader port, where the ore was to be separated and the polluted water bearing metal tailings and chemicals, will be drained in coastal areas of Gawader port which would result in polluting the coastal waters, destroying marine livelihood resources such as fish and shrimp and the fishing business in forth coming years.
T.C.C. was given license only for geological estimation of Reko-Diq copper-gold reserves which has been completed. While they do not have mining and ore processing rights for which they insisted in the Supreme Court
T.C.C had started preparing feasibility of mining and Ore processing by their self for which they were not asked.
