Wie du vielleicht bei Reko Diq gelesen hast, wurden Tethyan Copper die Lizensen 2011 entzogen. Die Tochterfirma von Barrick Gold,Kanada, und Antofagasta,Chile, stehen seitdem mit dem Staat Pakistan vor Gericht. Seit 2012 läuft in Paris ein Verfahren, was kurz vor dem Abschluß steht.
Lake wiederum wurden am 30. Juni 2013 auch die Lizensen von der Regierung in Balochistan entzogen. Sie haben aber wohl nicht die Kohle gehabt um zu prozessieren. Auszug aus dem Jahresbericht 2013 von LKE:
Subsequent to 30 June 2013, the Directorate General of Mines and Minerals, Government of Balochistan, advised that it has cancelled the Company's three Exploration Licences in Balochistan due to lack of exploration activity. The Exploration Licences were due for renewal in September 2015. The Company has lodged appeals against the cancellations and is awaiting notice of a date for hearing of the appeals. Other avenues for restoration of the Exploration Licences are being investigated by the Company's Country Manager in Pakistan. In view of the uncertainty of the legal processes in Pakistan, the directors believe that it is prudent to write down the value of the Company's investment in Pakistan to zero in the accounts dated 30 June 2013.
