Dear Seniors, I am working on a project related to the "contribution of the Gemstone industry in economic development, employment, and beneficiation". I need to find the government-published data. I will be very grateful if someone could help me. Thank you
Although data regarding Gemstones availability its mineralization processes. The areas where certain gemstones are find is scarce as very little scientific research especially on the economic and commercial aspect of Gemstone industry has been done. but you still can find research material form the Department of Geology University of Peshawar, National Centre of Excellence in Geology, University of Peshawar. The Geological Bulletin of the department of Geology and Centre of excellence University Peshawar may provide some data. secondly there used to be a provincial department in past that is the Gemstone corporation of Pakistan. I think the same does not exist now , but the ministry of Natural Resources and Mineral Development or the Geological Survey of Pakistan may past data. there also was a department by the name of Sarhad Development Authority (SDA). Another government department that works in mineral development is Pakistan Mineral development Corporation (PMDC).Maybe data is available with them. Kindly visit the KP government official website and find out whether these departments still exists or have been merged with other departments. You will find a clue towards finding data regarding gemstones in Pakistan.
I am mentioning these names from my student days of late 80s when I was a BSc Geology student. since later on I switched over to Management sciences hence Geology was lost in the way. Maybe you get some help from my suggestions I will keep on sharing if get data.
Thanks a lot for these references, it will help me a lot. Interestingly, I am a management science guy (PhD Finance) but due to a project. I have to work on gemstones for a while.
