Abstract
Reconnaissance examination of marine evaporites in West Pakistan has revealed a highly favorable resource situation with respect to anhydrite, and a potentially favorable position for potash and sulfur. Further work is needed to evaluate the preliminary interpretations made during the present study. The establishment of a potash resource organization within the Mineral Resource Directorate of the Geological Survey of Pakistan is proposed. The organization would be concerned exclusively with the investigation of potash deposits in the Salt Range and adjacent parts of the Potwar and Indus Plains.
