Abstract:
Good quality talc occur in the Juragh area of district Swat. The deposit lie in the western part of the suture (Lesser Himalayas, exposed in Pakistan) of the Indo-Pak plate in tectonic interaction with Eurasia in the north. The deposit is comprised of talc and antigorite while the country rocks are quartz-mica and dolomitic schists. The talc may have been developed by secondary processes undertaken by the action of hydrothermal solutions on metamorphosed calcareous sediments and impure marbles as well as retrogression during the Himalayan orogeny. The talc is suitable for utilization in a range of industries.
