Abstract:
Geology and chemical composition of the talc de-posits of Jamrud in Khyber Agency have been investigated. Two individual veins about two miles apart are located South and North of Oosinala. The talc is of fairly good quality, and suitable for use in cosmetics, pottery, paper, textile, tiles preparation and soap industry. The proved reserve from both the veins is estimated to be about 40,000 tons. Improved mining methods are recommended for winning the maximum percentage of talc.
