According to the agreement, Reko Diq is owned 50% by Barrick, 25% by three federal state-owned enterprises, 15% by the Province of Baluchistan on a fully funded basis and 10% by the Province of Baluchistan on a free carried basis.

CEO of Barrick Gold Corporation suggested that this project will be world class and long-life mind that will not only benefit Barrick Gold Corporation but also benefit the Pakistani stakeholders and their future generations.
