SECTION A: INFORMATION TO BIDDERS

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT
1.1
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to invite Proposals from the prospective Bidders for provision
of consultancy services for the Project. Information regarding the Project is set forth below:
1.2
BRIEF INTRODUCTION
The Government of Balochistan (GOB) acting through Mines and Minerals Development Department
[MMDD], intends to grant mining rights over Tanjeel Copper deposit [Tanjeel], also known as Reko Diq H4,
covering an area of about 7 sq. Km and located in Chagai District within Survey of Pakistan Topo Sheet No.30K/4. GOB is seeking to hire an international Mining Consultancy Firm or Consultants Consortium [hereinafter
termed as the Consultants to assist MMDD with various legal and commercial matters relating to the award
of mining rights over Tanjeel to a financially and technically competent mining firm which would develop it on
fast track basis and provide maximum benefits to the GOB and to the People of Balochistan. Tanjeel formed part
of an Exploration License [EL-5] granted by GOB to Tethyan Mining Company [TCC] over a very large area in
RekoDiq, which was cancelled due to unsatisfactory performance and TCC filed a case [ICSID Case No. ARB/12/1]
in International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). The case is still pending for final decision
on the issue of compensation alone, as TCC has voluntarily withdrawn its claim for performance before ICSID
and ICC. TCC through its letter dated 3 May 2013 addressed to ICSID and also a similar letter to ICC Tribunal
consented to the vacating of all restrictions imposed by the ICSID Tribunal on GOB in its Decision of 13th
December 2012 with regard to H4 and the other deposits within Exploration License 5 [EL-5]. The area covered
by Rekodiq EL-5, which includes H4 deposit, is thus free of all liens and encumbrances.
1.3

Location/ logistics of the Project area and information on Tanjeel Deposit
LOCATION & ACCESS

The Tanjeel Copper Deposit is located in a desert area, 70 kilometers north-west of Nokundi in Chagai district of
Balochistan which is sparsely populated. It is mostly low relief and thinly populated desert. Chagai weather
ranges from very hot summers of 40-50C to very cool winters of up to -10C with less than 40 mm precipitation
(winter rain and minor snow). It also exhibits periods of high wind and dust/sand storms which have a
demobilizing impact on the local activities and trade. Access to the Chagai district is via the Quetta Zahidan
highway also known as the London Road. Dalbandin, 166 km away from Nokkundi, is the nearest airport, which
receives 3 PIA flights in a week from Karachi.
13
GEOLOGY AND RESOURCE

The Tanjeel ore body comprises in large part an enriched copper sulphide (mostly chalcocite) ore body situated
above a primary porphyry copper system. The resource lies within an intrusive complex comprising diorite
porphyry intruded into a volcanic pile of andesitic lava, volcano clastic rocks and sedimentary rocks. The volcanic
rocks have been affected by predominantly phyllic or intermediate (sericite-quartz-chlorite-clay) hypogene
alteration in the vicinity of the porphyritic intrusions, with supergene leaching and enrichment.
Two phases of porphyry intrusion have been identified. The main part of the intrusion comprises feldspar-quartz
porphyry. More siliceous quartz porphyry has been mapped in discrete bodies from the surface mapping, and
some of these have also been intersected in the drilling. With the current level of drilling detail, it is not possible
to determine the shape of these smaller intrusions, or their continuity.
The drilling data indicates that the intrusions are steep-sided, but a number of narrow intersections of porphyry
suggest that in detail the intrusive margins have complex shapes and a number of apophyses into the
surrounding volcanics.
The resource was estimated using ordinary rigging from a drill hole database supplied by TCC from which 32
reverse circulation holes and 8 diamond drill holes covering the resource area were used. Total resource by total
copper (Cu) at a cut off of 0.3% Cu is shown in the Table below:

Note: Classification of the resources is based on the Australian Code for reporting Identified Mineral Resources
and Ore Reserves. September 1999 (JORC code).
Note Added
Subsequently during 2004 TCC drilled another 30~ diamond drill holes in Tanjeel deposit, all intersecting
14
mineralized zone. Any upgradation in the resource position, as a result of these hole is however not available.
MINERAL PROCESSING
Signet Engineering Pty Ltd (Signet) evaluated a number of process alternatives to produce capital and operating
costs to an accuracy of 30% for two processing options. These options are for a flotation concentrator
producing a sulphide concentrate, and a bio-heap leach operation producing cathode copper via solvent
extraction and electro winning.
The concentrator option will include primary crushing followed by SAG milling to produce a grind size of 80%
passing 120m. The suitability of SAG milling has been assumed on the basis of the moderate ore hardness and
the apparent physical nature of the ore. The flotation section will comprise a bulk sulphide, rougher flotation
stage, followed by regrinding of the rougher concentrate prior to cleaning. The flotation concentrate will be
filtered and transported to Karachi for shipment.
The bio-heap leach process will comprise a three-stage crushing circuit followed by acid agglomeration. The ore
will be stacked on the leach pads to a height of 6m and irrigated at a rate of 6L/h/m. The process will include a
two-stage leach, with the final PLS being processed by solvent extraction and electro winning (SX-EW) to
produce copper metal as cathode.
Power for the project will be generated on site in a stand-alone power station fuelled with heavy furnace oil
(HFO). Water will be supplied from a dedicated bore field located 55km from the project site, and delivered via
an above-ground steel pipeline.
15
MINING AND ECONOMIC EVALUATION

SRK have completed the evaluation for the scoping study for the project. A pit optimization exercise has been
completed evaluating two process options with a number of production and process recovery alternatives.
Practical pit designs have been developed based on the optimized pit outlines. A base case model has been
selected which has the following pertinent features:
The Biox process option will be used with a fixed recovery on total copper of 82%.
The project has a mine life of 14 years including an 18-month construction period.
Steady state copper production will be nominally 40,000 tons per annum and the project will produce
482,000 tons of copper over the life of the mine.
The Base Case Option has a total mining inventory of 79.4 million tons. Based on the Resource
Classification and the level of work undertaken for this scoping study, the Reserve is estimated to be 78
million tons with a total copper grade of 0.7% calculated at an economic cut off equivalent to 0.3% total
copper. This Reserve is classified as Probable according to JORC 1999.
The remainder of the inventory (1.8 million tons) comprises Inferred resource scheduled at the end of
the mine life. It is SRKs opinion that inclusion of this material in the cash flow is not material and will
not adversely effect project viability if excluded.
It is SRKs opinion that the project appears reasonably robust and would warrant further detailed
investigation.
