I have heard that the reserve is about 900 meters deep and on an area of 24 Km and the actual reserve can be reached with few meters of digging, but on the other hand the AQ Khan said that the we still don't know anything about the reserves of Thar and Reko Diq as actual specs are still unknown and there are rumors that it just speculation not actual figures.

the reason is that till 1973 it was kingdom(princely state). after that the kings were(nawabs) given free hand, till 2000 when mush came.

its obvious that the kings will not allow developemnt, as that would mean two things
1. increase in non bolach population
2. increase in development
