Survey of Pakistan (GSP) and the United States Agency for
International Development.
Pakistan has emerged as one of the leading countries - seventh in the list of top 20 countries of the world after the discovery of huge lignite coal resources in Sindh. The economic coal deposits of Pakistan are restricted to Paleocene and Eocene rock sequences. It is one of the world’s largest lignite deposits discovered by GSP in 90’s, spread over more than 9,000 km 2. comprise around 175 billion tonnes sufficient to meet the country’s fuel requirements for centuries.
