Final report
on geophyscial investigation for sulphide mineralization in Reshian,
Lamnian and Treri areas, AJK has been submitted to AKMIDC. Geophysical
investigations are continued in L-2 & L-3 areas of Quetta valley
for groundwater. Gravity and magnetic surveys have been carried
out in Jhelum, Gujrat and Sialkot areas to reconfirm some observation
points.
Detailed geophysical
survey (gravity & magnetic) has been done in Makki Dhoro area, Kalat
District, Balochistan for sulphide mineralization.
