Financial closure is expected by the end of September or early October 2025.<br \/>\nThe RDMC has also expressed readiness to provide bridge financing of $400 million to support the construction of railway infrastructure linking the mine site to Port Qasim via Main Line-2 (ML-2) and Main Line-3 (ML-3).<br \/>\nThe timely completion of these railway lines is seen as critical for the efficient transport of extracted minerals. The railway upgrade is expected to be completed before the mine becomes operational in 2028.<br \/>\nThe Reko Diq project is projected to generate $74 billion in free cash flows over its 37-year operational life, positioning it as a cornerstone of Pakistan\u2019s long-term economic strategy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD Marking a key breakthrough for Pakistan\u2019s mining sector, Reko Diq Mining Company (RDMC) has secured over $5.5 billion in financing commitments from international financial institutions (IFIs), surpassing its actual funding requirement of $3.74 billion, The News reported on Wednesday.
