A Chinese consortium awarded the contract to develop the world’s second-largest copper mine in Afghanistan is planning to return after years of delay as Beijing seeks closer ties with the Taliban.
“We would consider reopening it after the situation is stabilised and international recognition, including the Chinese government’s recognition of the Taliban regime, take place,” an unnamed source at the state-owned China Metallurgical Group Corp (MCC Group) told the Global Times, a party-run newspaper.
The group, along with another Chinese company, Jiangxi Copper, were awarded a 30-year contract worth $2.9 billion in 2008 to extract, smelt and process raw copper at the Mes Aynak copper mine, believed to the world’s second-largest with an estimated deposit of 5.5 million metric tonnes of high-quality copper ore.
