OGDCL has announced the completion of the updated feasibility study for the RekoDiqProject. The updated feasibility study outlines a mine life of 37 years, divided into two phases. Phase 1 of the project entails an estimated capital outlay of USD 5.6 billion (exclusive of financing costs and inflation) and is expected to commence operations in 2028.

Phase 2 is planned to be funded through a mix of revenue generation from the project, additional project financing and shareholder contributions (if required). Under the updated feasibility study, Phase 1 is planned to process 45 million tonnes of mill feed annually (Mtpa) from 2028. By 2034, Phase 2 is planned to double the processing capacity to 90Mtpa.
