geodynamics and coal deposits of pakistan
DESCRIPTION
The three coal provinces of Pakistan spread over a potential area of 2,500 sq. km. contain.an estimated reserves of about 1.5 billion tons of coal, An overall picture of these deposits have been examined by drawing suitable trend diagrams based upon more than 200 proximate chemical analysiswhich point outcome of the basic differences between the Paleoeene and Eocene coals of Pakistan, apart from their distinct structural placement in regional geology, Five significant stratigraphic coalhorizons have been discussed producing original maps for probable coal basin extension in the Salt Range and Makerwal areas of the Upper Indus Basin which may open a new chapter for future coal exploration in Pakistan. Data on calorific values for different coals is considered to be a new tool in understanding coal basins on a regional level.TRANSCRIPT
