Egyptian billionaire considers investment in Pakistan’s Reko Diq project

Naguib Sawiris did not disclose specific investment details, however, this move is part of his broader business expansion into Pakistan

Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris, known for his successful ventures in telecommunications and gold industries, is exploring the possibility of investing in Pakistan’s Reko Diq copper-gold project, valued at $7 billion. This move is part of his broader business expansion into Pakistan.

Reko Diq, located in the Balochistan region along the borders of Afghanistan and Iran, is recognized as one of the world’s largest untapped copper and gold reserves. It has the potential to produce 200,000 tons of copper and 250,000 ounces of gold annually for over 50 years. The project is a collaboration between the Government of Pakistan and Canadian firm Barrick Gold.

During an interview, Sawiris, who is a major investor in the gold mining sector through his company La Mancha Resources Inc. and holds interests in firms like Endeavour Mining Plc, confirmed his interest in the Reko Diq project. He cited his familiarity with the country and its people as an advantage in pursuing this investment opportunity, Bloomberg reported.

Sawiris expressed a keen interest in establishing a presence on the Pakistani side, where he has spent 25 years of his business career. However, he did not disclose specific investment details, stating that there were limited alternatives in the region due to a lack of other major projects.

Mark Bristow, CEO of Barrick, mentioned a growing interest in Reko Diq from multinational mining companies, signaling a potential shift toward investment in challenging regions.

Additionally, the Reko Diq project has attracted attention from Saudi Arabia, which could contribute to its stability in a geopolitically sensitive area.

In the previous month, Pakistan’s state-owned energy exploration companies, with a stake in the Reko Diq project, indicated their intent to explore potential collaboration with foreign sovereign investors, without providing specific details.

Separately, Sawiris’ Ora Developers is engaged in a luxury housing project called “Eighteen.” He previously founded Mobilink, one of Pakistan’s earliest mobile phone companies, which is now owned by Veon Ltd and is the country’s largest cellular service provider in terms of subscribers.

Investing in Pakistan comes with certain challenges, including bureaucratic procedures, currency instability, and capital restrictions. Despite these obstacles, Sawiris remains optimistic, stating, “If there is an obstacle in my path, I will overcome it. I have never allowed anyone in my life to hinder me from achieving my goals.”

  11. About 3 months ago, my girlfriend was convinced to invest in an upcoming ICO that had all these projections of being the next Dodge coin. They laid it out that payments are to be done bi-weekly after investment. She went ahead and put in $345,000 worth of BTC. After waiting about 3 weeks and still nothing, she approached me and gave me the whole spiel. I just couldn’t shake it off. I searched around and everybody seems to be so sure the process is irreversible. I decided to deep dive into the Onion site in search of a white hat to advise me and that’s where I landed on the American forensic firm platform I must say the process wasn’t straightforward forward their smart contract experts were able to take me through the process where I provided deals like the transaction logs and TX ids and just different properties and in the end we were able to recoup a fair share of the investment. I know the pain of losing out BTC and hence hope this one helps someone out, good luck via Email: ([email protected] or whatsapp: +4591623536)
