The document summarizes a dispute between the governments of Pakistan and Balochistan, and mining companies over exploration rights in the Reko Diq area. It discusses a 1993 agreement between Balochistan and BHP allowing exploration, as well as a later feasibility study by Tethyan Copper Company (TCC). Key points of conflict included TCC's rejected mining lease application and lawsuits filed in international arbitration. An ICSID tribunal ultimately ruled Pakistan must pay TCC $11.5 billion in damages.
