An OGDCL spokesperson stated that the company will hold an 8.33% stake in the large-scale mining venture. The company’s board of directors has approved financing arrangements for the project, which is set to produce an estimated 13.1 million tons of copper and 17.9 million ounces of gold.

The first phase, scheduled to begin operations in 2028, will process 45 million tons of ore annually, with a total investment of $3 billion earmarked for this phase. Following the feasibility study announcement, OGDCL shares rose by 2.76%.

The second phase will further expand processing capacity to 90 million tons per year, contributing to the country’s mineral output and industrial development, according to the spokesperson.
