Abstract

Granites are the key rocks of the continental crust that occur in almost all the orogenic belts of the world. This research paper is focusing on the mineral resources and structural elements of granitic rock of the Baru area of Malakand Agency of Pakistan. Petrographical study and Geological mapping of the study were carried out in several rock units. The study is emphasizing on the regional and local geological setting as well as the origin and evaluation of different granitic rock units in the area of Baru, Malakand Agency, Pakistan. The mineralized fractures are in the form of a single fracture or group of fractures with convergence and divergence phenomena. The mineralized fractures are hosted by the fine-med. grained foliated granite is more pronounced as compared to the fractures in the fine-grained sheared granite/aplite.
