“…The extraction of minerals from rock materials is a laborious process involving a number of technical steps. As mentioned, the recovery rate obtained by conventional processing methods from Reko Diq geological settings is only 0.41%, producing 5.3pc of grade copper [16]. Bioleaching could be an alternative and economically more attractive approach for the extraction of valuable minerals from this site.…”

Bioleaching of low-grade secondary copper sulphide ores using different microbial strains is an ecologically safe technology for the recovery of metals in the mineral and mining industry. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the mineral contents of Reko Diq deposits and to assess the dissolution of copper from sulfide ore by an indigenously isolated strain of acidophilic iron-and sulfur-oxidizing bacterium (BSTFe-2) in shake flask experiments. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the ore sample suggested that it contained 0.81% Cu on dry matter basis and contained chalcocite (Cu 2 S) and covellite (CuS) as main copper minerals. Pyrite (FeS 2 ) was also present as a sulfide mineral. The other minerals detected in the ore matrix were muscovite (a di-octahedral mica mineral), quartz, feldspar (anorthite) and calcite. Quartz (SiO 2 ) was the main silicate mineral present in the sample. Calcite (CaCO 3 ) was found as the main acid-consuming gangue mineral. We observed that about 80-90% of the total Cu content present in the ore matrix was solubilized during 30 days of the leaching process mediated by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans at 30ºC. Copper dissolution from ore was found to be directly related to the reaction pH (1.5-1.9). The leaching data obtained from the pulp densities (5, 10 and 20% wt/

“…However, despite its great strategic and economic potential for socio-economic development, it has never seen genuine infrastructural development; instead, it has generally suffered instability, backwardness, lawlessness, insurgencies, and military repressions. There have been several issues in Baluchistan including human rights abuses, more autonomy, revenues, royalties from its natural resources, and in some cases, full secession (Siddiqi, 2015).…”

The paper carries an analysis of regionalism in Pakistan, its origin, its reasons, and its impediments to the national security of the country, through the linguistic lens. The paper in its analytical findings reveals that several factors are responsible for regionalism in Pakistan leading to some serious impediments to the national security of the country. Short-term, medium-term, and long-term solutions are recommended for the solution to this problem and therefore, the paper concludes that the need of the hour for the country’s leadership is to rise above self/vested interests, unite the nation, and respond to the challenge of regionalism.

“…However, much of the geographical focus of political-economy-related research has been on Africa and Latin America (e.g. Collier, 2000; Collier and Hoeffler, 1998, 2002, 2004), with scant attention to other areas of perpetual conflicts such as those in the conflict-ridden areas of the Pakistani borderlands (Brasted and Ahmed, 2015: 114–131; Siddiqi, 2015: 57–74). These peripheries mostly span the ruins of the Global War on Terror, with a rising need to contextualize the political economy of (post-)conflict in these (formerly) ungoverned peripheral spaces and fringing borderlands (Morel, 2020).…”

Post-conflict North Waziristan is experiencing a fundamental shift in the political and economic environment at a very fast pace. This paper examines the complex political economy of post-conflict North Waziristan to assess factors promoting sustainable peace in the region. It identifies the multi-pronged official strategy that is significantly contributing to the transformation of the political and economic environment in the post-conflict setting. These steps include inter alia effective border management to counter illicit trafficking and cross-border terrorism, security sector reforms, improving the mechanism of governance, and diversifying ‘formal’ economic opportunities. The analysis suggests that post-conflict North Waziristan exhibits considerable improvements towards establishing and promoting conditions that are pivotal for sustainable peace.
