EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

For the year 2007-2008, a total of Rs. 198.026 million is allocated in the regular budget and Rs.161.162 million in the PSDP. Operational funds provided in the regular budget, as in the past few years, are highly inadequate. However, with the available regular budget the GSP plans to achieve the following technical targets during the current financial year. The GSP will undertake mapping of about 10, 880 sq. km. area in various parts of the country. In addition to the geological mapping an area of 1,000 sq. km. will be covered through geophysical surveys. Mineral exploration projects include iron ore in Punjab and Balochistan, Lead-Zinc-Barite investigations in Balochistan and NWFP, limestone studies in Sindh and copper-gold prospects in Balochistan. Environmental, urban and hydrogeological studies will be carried out for Lahore and Islamabad cities. Research projects will also be undertaken in collaboration with Harvard, Howard and Michigan universities of U.S.A. Five development projects (including 2 in energy sector and 3 in mineral sector) will be executed. The province-wise activities of regular projects will be as under:-

· An area of 2,560 sq. km. will be geologically mapped on 1:50,000 in the area of Lasbela, Zhob and Pashin districts. Besides geological mapping, detailed study of recently discovered copper deposit in Lesbela District and exploration modelling of Cu/Au prospects of Chagai District will also be taken up.

1. INTRODUCTION

Geological Survey of Pakistan (GSP) is an attached department of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources, Government of Pakistan. It was established, at the time of independence in 1947, with only 5 Muslim geologists of the Geological Survey of India who opted for Pakistan. It is a national organization which, as per its charter, is primarily responsible for collection and dissemination of geological information about the country so that the earth’s resources could be best exploited and utilized. The geological information is compiled and disseminated in the form of geological reports and maps. Geological maps provide a bird’s eye view of the surface (and subsurface) distribution of various types of rocks and economic minerals that are found in a particular region. These maps are, thus, essential for all future detailed geological works including, mineral exploration, civil engineering, soil surveys, and land use and soil conservation projects. Worldwide experience suggests that geological maps on 1:50,000 scale provide the most useful information and meet the requirements of most of the demands.

Apart from geological mapping and general surveys, the department has also to collect and provide detailed information pertaining to the natural resources of the country mainly the minerals and groundwater. It involves:

· Inventory of the known mineral resources.

· Assessment of the quality and quantity of the known mineral deposits and the groundwater potential.

· Intensive search for the new mineral deposits.

1.1. CHARTER OF THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF PAKISTAN

Government of Pakistan, vide Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources, letter No. GSP‑1 (15)/89, dated 24^th October, 1991, approved the following charter for the Geological Survey of Pakistan:

i). geological mapping and geoscientific surveys,

ii). basic and applied research, and

iii). environmental investigation for an accurate understanding of the country’s geologic resources and its prudent management.

The Geological Survey of Pakistan, as such, functions within the framework of its charter.

1.2. FUNCTIONS AND ACTIVITIES

1. Geological mapping of the country on appropriate scales.

2. Supplementation of geological mapping programme with geoscientific studies and research, geophysical surveys, geochemical investigations and test drilling operations with a view to synthesize and analyze data on composition, structure, history and origin of rock strata for use in the exploration, exploitation and conservation of natural resources like, metallic and industrial minerals and rocks, fuels and groundwater.

3. Inventorization of known resources and exploration and assessment of new finds and discoveries.

4. Geological investigations in connection with the construction of heavy civil engineering projects, soil conservation, watershed management and other environmental and engineering geological studies including, geothermal energy, land use, and town planning.

2 ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

Geological Survey of Pakistan is headed by a Director General (BPS‑21). Its headquarters is at Quetta where the specialized branches viz. Palaeontology & Stratigraphy, Regional Geology, geophysics, chemistry, petrology‑mineralogy, drilling and most of the functional divisions/directorates, including planning and development, information , administration & accounts, audit , stores & procurement and workshop etc. are hosted. Some of the functional units, however, have been regionalized and their offices are established at Peshawar, Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi. The four scientific research zones at Peshawar, Lahore, Karachi and Quetta are responsible for carrying out geological mapping and mineral investigation and also for running specialized branches to undertake projects related to the geology of the area of their control. The provincial governments and mineral sector agencies are consulted and their suggestions are accommodated, to the extent possible, while formulating the annual field programme of the department. The organizational set‑up is as under:
