🚨🇵🇰🤝🇨🇦 NEW: Canada is looking to strengthen mineral and energy ties with Pakistan following progress at the Reko Diq copper-gold project.

Discussions are centred on expanding cooperation in mining, energy development and future Canadian investment in Pakistan’s natural resources sector.

Reko Diq is a 50/50 joint venture:

Barrick Gold owns and operates 50%, while Pakistan holds the other 50% (25% federal government, 25% Balochistan). Barrick leads development, financing and operations.
