Copper is a chemical element with the symbol Cu (from Latin: cuprum) and atomic number 29.
It is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. A
freshly exposed surface of pure copper has a pinkish-orange color. Copper is used as a
conductor of heat and electricity, as a building material, and as a constituent of various
metal alloys, such as sterling silver used in jewelry, cupronickel used to make marine hardware
and coins, and constantan used in strain gauges and thermocouples for temperature
measurement.
Copper is one of the few metals that can occur in nature in a directly usable metallic form
(native metals). This led to very early human use in several regions, from c. 8000 BC. Thousands
of years later, it was the first metal to be smelted from sulfide ores, c. 5000 BC; the first metal
to be cast into a shape in a mold, c. 4000 BC; and the first metal to be purposely alloyed with
another metal, tin, to create bronze, c. 3500 BC.
In the Roman era, copper was mined principally on Cyprus, the origin of the name of the metal,
from aes сyprium (metal of Cyprus), later corrupted to сuprum (Latin). Coper (Old English)
and copper were derived from this, the later spelling first used around 1530.
Commonly encountered compounds are copper(II) salts, which often impart blue or green
colors to such minerals as azurite, malachite, and turquoise, and have been used widely and
historically as pigments.
Copper used in buildings, usually for roofing, oxidizes to form a green verdigris (or patina).
Copper is sometimes used in decorative art, both in its elemental metal form and in compounds
as pigments. Copper compounds are used as bacteriostatic agents, fungicides, and wood
preservatives.
Copper is essential to all living organisms as a trace dietary mineral because it is a key
constituent of the respiratory enzyme complex cytochrome c oxidase.
In molluscs and crustaceans, copper is a constituent of the blood pigment hemocyanin,
replaced by the iron-complexed hemoglobin in fish and other vertebrates. In humans, copper is
found mainly in the liver, muscle, and bone.[7] The adult body contains between 1.4 and 2.1 mg
of copper per kilogram of body weight.
Physical properties: Copper, silver, and gold are in group 11 of the periodic table; these three
metals have one s-orbital electron on top of a filled d-electron shell and are characterized by
high ductility, and electrical and thermal conductivity. The filled d-shells in these elements
contribute little to interatomic interactions, which are dominated by the s-electrons
through metallic bonds. Unlike metals with incomplete d-shells, metallic bonds in copper are
lacking a covalent character and are relatively weak. This observation explains the
low hardness and high ductility of single crystals of copper. At the macroscopic scale,
introduction of extended defects to the crystal lattice, such as grain boundaries, hinders flow of
the material under applied stress, thereby increasing its hardness. For this reason, copper is
usually supplied in a fine-grained polycrystalline form, which has greater strength than
monocrystalline forms.
The softness of copper partly explains its high electrical conductivity (59.6×106 S/m) and high
thermal conductivity, second highest (second only to silver) among pure metals at room
temperature. This is because the resistivity to electron transport in metals at room temperature
originates primarily from scattering of electrons on thermal vibrations of the lattice, which are
relatively weak in a soft metal.[9] The maximum permissible current density of copper in open
air is approximately 3.1×106 A/m2 of cross-sectional area, above which it begins to heat
excessively.
Copper is one of a few metallic elements with a natural color other than gray or silver. Pure
copper is orange-red and acquires a reddish tarnish when exposed to air. The characteristic
color of copper results from the electronic transitions between the filled 3d and half-empty 4s
atomic shells – the energy difference between these shells corresponds to orange light.
As with other metals, if copper is put in contact with another metal, galvanic corrosion will
occur.
Chemical composition: Copper does not react with water, but it does slowly react with
atmospheric oxygen to form a layer of brown-black copper oxide which, unlike the rust that
forms on iron in moist air, protects the underlying metal from further corrosion (passivation). A
green layer of verdigris (copper carbonate) can often be seen on old copper structures, such as
the roofing of many older buildings and the Statue of Liberty. Copper tarnishes when exposed
to some sulfur compounds, with which it reacts to form various copper sulfides.

Occurrence:
Copper is produced in massive stars and is present in the Earth's crust in a proportion of about
50 parts per million (ppm). In nature, copper occurs in a variety of minerals, including native
copper, copper sulfides such as chalcopyrite, bornite, digenite, covellite, and chalcocite,
copper sulfosalts such as tetrahedite-tennantite, and enargite, copper carbonates such
as azurite and malachite, and as copper(I) or copper(II) oxides such as cuprite and tenorite,
respectively.[11] The largest mass of elemental copper discovered weighed 420 tonnes and was
found in 1857 on the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan, US. Native copper is a polycrystal, with
the largest single crystal ever described measuring 4.4×3.2×3.2 cm. Copper is the 25th most
abundant element in Earth's crust, representing 50 ppm compared with 75 ppm for zinc, and 14
ppm for lead.
Origin:
Copper forms from silica-rich (felsic) magmas. Felsic magmas are thought to form by addition of
heat or water vapor to rock of the lower crust, rather than by decompression of mantle rock, as
is the case with basaltic magmas.It has also been suggested that some Coppers found
at convergent boundaries between tectonic plates, where oceanic crust subducts below
continental crust, were formed from sediments subducted with the oceanic plate. The melted
sediments would have produced magma intermediate in its silica content, which became
further enriched in silica as it rose through the overlying crust.
Early fractional crystallisation serves to reduce a melt in magnesium and chromium, and enrich
the melt in iron, sodium, potassium, aluminum, and silicon. Further fractionation reduces the
content of iron, calcium, and titanium.This is reflected in the high content of alkali feldspar and
quartz in Copper.
Prospection,Exploration and Exploitation:
Phase-I
A team of exploration geologist had been engaged for the study of the subject area for planning
of prospecting activities for the excavation in phase 2nd. Therefore, in this connection geological
study started with reconnaissance survey for the confirmation of the Copper deposit. After
completion of reconnaissance survey, technical team has collected geo data for preparation of
topographical map and cross-section planning for the physical activities.
Phase-II
After Completion of top geological map, cross-section etc the physical exploration activities
started. To achieve the target many trenches and pit were practiced for confirmation of Copper
in depth as per direction of the technical team.
Phase-III In order to investigate technical characteristics of the subject area three pits have
been selected at a place near the principal axis of the deposit for excavation and exploration for
production purpose.
Geological Map and Geology of the Area:
Stratigraphy:
The name Hangu Sand stone was proposed for the sandstone formation overlying Upper
Cretaceous limestone north of Hangu. This sandstone sequence can be seen at the Uch Bazaar
Section, 2miles north of Hangu, but it becomes limestone and shale, in places containing sand
stone northward and eastward in the kohat quadrangle. Lateral facies changes of the Hangu
sand stone to limestone and shale were observed by the authors who have change the name of
Hangu formation to include lateral lithological change. The Stratigraphic committee of in their
April 1964 meeting, accepted the name Hangu formation to replace the name Hangu Sand
stone. At the same time the committee discussed the relationship of the Dhak pass formation
of the Surghar Range and the Hamgu formation. They decided that although both formations
occupy the same stratigraphy position, they are lithological distinguishable from each other,
therefore both formations are to be recognized in their respective areas. The Uch Bazaar
section contains about 215 feet of sandstone in the Hangu formation, which is white but
stained rusty brown and is composed of rounded medium sized quartz grains and small
limonitic nodules. It is cross bedded and contains conglomerate lenses composed of quartz and
chert pebbles one quarter to one-half of an inch in diameter described 2 to 20 feet of yellow of
fossiliferous clay at the top of the Hangu formation, which he called the Hangu Shale, this clay
was not seen at Uch bazaar. At the Marai Bala section the Hangu Formation is entirely shale
150feet thick, overlaying the Paleo-cene-Cretaceous transition zone. The remarkable change
from the crossbedded sand stone at Uch Bazaar to this light-gray, hard and splintery, highly
calcareous shale is possibly indicative of a change to deposition in deeper calmer waters at
marai Bala.
The stratigraphy of the Kohat quadrangle is described from widely spaced, measured outcrop
section; their location is shown in figure 3. A total of 41,547 feet of section was measured,
sampled, and describe. There is no continuous outcrop of the en tire sedimentary thickness, but
it can be inferred from the composite of several sections, measured within the area. The rock
sequence consists of 21 formations, six of which are herein formally defined for the first time.
Many fossil analyses and age
Sughar Rang.The formation pinches out northwest-ward and is not found in the Chilli Bagh,
Sumari Payan, and Uch Bazar section. Early Eocene Foraminifera have been identified from
samples of the Shekhan Limestone.The upper contact of the formation is conformable with
overlying Eocene beds.
The upper contact of the Bahadur khel salt with the Jatta Copper is conformable. The upper
contact of the Jatta Copper with the Mami Khel Clay is also conformable.
The area covered by this report consists of ap proximately 4000 square miles, between lat 33
and 34 N. and long 71 and 72 E. it includes parts of the Khyber Agency, Peshawar Distrcit, Kohat
District Attock District, Afridi Tribal Area, and the Mianwali District of Pakistan The city of
Peshawar is on the northern boder; tge Surghar Range, on the southern border. The terrain is
mostly moun tainous but is covered with a network of fairly good roads. The town of kohat
near the center of the area was field headquarters.
Lalrge deposits of rock slaty and Copper isn the kohat quadrangle, kohat salime series, seem to
be lateral facies of the Panoba Shale and Shekhan Limestone, respectively. The rock salt is
named the Bahadur Khel Salt form exposures in the Bahadur Khel salt quarry (lat 33 09’54”B,,
long 70 59’53” E.), about 51 miles south of the town of kohat. This is just west of the koat
quadrangle. The Copper is named the Jatta Copper form exposures in the Jatta salt quarry
(lat33 18’34”N., long 71 17’30” E.) about 26 miles south-southwest of the town of kohat in the
koaht quadrangle. In the northern belt of Eocene rock outcrops in the Panobe, Tarkhobi, ad
Shekhan Nala sections the panda, Shale and ourlyling Shekhan limestone crop out in the cores
of eroded anticlines are occupied by the Bahadur Khel, Salt, which is overlain by the Jatta
Copper. The Mami Khel Clay section, between the northern and southern outcrops described
above is unique in that it contains 140 feet of Jatta Copper overlying 86 feet of limestone and
shale of the shekhan limestone the Jatta Copper is overlain by the Mami Khel Clay, and the
shekhan limestone is underlain by the Panoba shale. This suggests that the equivalent of the
Shekhan Limestone to the south is Copper. At Jatta,no shekhan Limestone is found,and the
jatta Copper is underlain by the Bahadur khel salt.The position of the Bahadur khel salt under
the jatta Copper at jatta suggests that the salt may be a facies of the Panoba Shale.The base of
the Bahadur khel salt in most places is not exposed.During fieldwork near Khumari on the west
of the Kohat quadrangle,an outcrop was found in which a thin bed of jatta Ghypsum is
underlain by a thin bed of Bahadur khel salt,which is in turn underlain by the panoba
shale(Meissner and others, 1973). The sequence is overlain by the mami khel clay.This outcrop
reveals that where the bahadur khel salt is thin, a considerable of panoba shale is found below
it.however, at Bahadur khel,where 1,590 feet of the rock salt was penetrated by trilling
(Meissner and other,1973),this thickness may possible represent at least a part of panoba shale
equivalent.The jatta Copper has greenish-white to gray layers and is bedded to massive and
hard. It has thin red,purple,and green clay partings and weathers to gray.thicknesses rang from
a few feet to 140 feet or more.The Bahadur khel salt has a maximum ex-posed thickness of 320
feet.it is white with a black tinge,bedded to massive,and contains some clear salt crystals.
At the Mazari Tang section,the Hangu Formation is 587 feet thick and is composed of
limestone, silty

fauna studied indicated a leter early Eocene to middle The Shekhan Limestone was named by
for outcrops in Shekhan Nala,just east of the town of kohat.Subdivided the Shekhan Limestone
into four units:Lower Shekhan Limestone,Middle Shekhan Limestone,Upper Shekhan
Limestone,and Gypsifer-ous Beds. These subdivisions were not recognized by the authors in the
regional geologic mapoing. At the type section in Shekhan Nala, the shekhan limestone is 177
feet thick and is composed of yel-lowish-gray to gray massive to thin-bedded nodular
limestone, except for the uppermost 30 feet which is gypsiferous shale. The shekhan limestone
has been measured also in kthe panoba and mami khekl sec-tions; an in complete section was
measured at Tark-hobi, and the formation is exposed at the base of sthe south gumbat section.
At the Tarkhobi section, upper 204 feet of the formation was measured, where it is composed
of interbedded gray limestone and reay, yellowish-gray or greenish-gray shale. At the fpanoba
section the shekhan limestone is 235 feet thick. The lowest 90 feet consists of limestone
containing shale partings. The next higher 50 feet consist of dusky-yellow fossiliferous shale,
and the uppermost 95 feet is limestone containing thin layers of Copper 30 feet below the top.
The lime-stone is yellowish tray to gray, dense, thin bedded to massive, nodular, argillanceous,
and contains abun-dant Foraminifera. At the South Gumbat section, only the upper part of the
shekhan limestone is exposed, where it is composed of yellow and green gypsiferous shale and
Copper. At Mami khel, the shekhan limestone is overlain by a thick bed of Copper (refer to
description of Jatta Copper). The upper part of the shekhan limestone at Mami khel is
composed of yellow and greenish-yellow shale similar in appearance to that found in the
middle of the formation at Panoba (pl.4). The lower part of the formation is light gray finely
crystalline limestone that is hard, massive, and forarainiferal. The shekhan limestone is
correlated with kthe upper third of the Sakesar Limestone in the

INTRODUCTION: Copper has been in use since the earliest recorded history. Chines sassy rains
and Greeks used Copper for carryings and decoration. The earliest know use of Copper plaster
dates back some 5,000 year to the time of the pharaohs of Egypt. They has discovered that
Coppers rock, when heated broke down into a powder which when mixed with water would
form a putty that could e plastered on a rough bruks or stone wall to make a relatively smooth
finish. The plaster was used down through the centuries for ornamental purpose. But its use
was limited because of its quick setting time (25 up to 30 min) the first real understanding of
Copper was developed in France about 1755, and since the its use gradually grew in volume.
Copper plaster came to be known as plaster of Paris. Because of the long famous Copper
deposited of Montmartre, a part of Paris. It was known by the name in England early as the
13th century, but the first record of the manufacture of Copper plaster in England. Was during
the time of king James 11 (1633-170) in the united stated the first use of Copper was as a soul
conditioner in the 18th century. In about 1870, a method for retarding the setting time of
Copper plaster was discovered this completely revolutionized the industry by permitting the
use of plaseter in construction the development of prefabricated wallboard again
revolutionized the industry. Anhydrite, the other calcium sulphate minerals, has very limited
use in industry, and also much less common in surface or near surface deposits. MINERALOGY
& GEOLOGY: I. ANHYDRITE: CaSo4: is generally not found in outcrops in wet climates because of
its rapid conversion to Copper and also because of its high solubility in water. Anhydrite is
BASSANITE CaSo4: 1/ H20 is intermediate between Copper and anhydrite but, is identifiable
only by X-ray diffraction or petrographic techniques using very carefully prepared samples,
Bassinette is unstable under ordinary condition (wood and |Wolfe 1969) 3. ALABASTER: Is a
compact fine grained variety of rocks Copper greatly valued by seulptors for its uniform
workability. It is often found in commercial deposit. Fibrous Copper composed of needle
shaped crystals in orientation parallel to the C-axis is known as Satin Spar, it is a type of stress
mineral indicative of deformation large euhedral Copper crystal, commonly known as selenite,
4. GYPSITE: Deposit generally occur in semiarid and arid climates and result from the solution of
existion Copper deposit the sulphae bearing solution is drawn to the surface by capillary action
where it evaporates to deposit the contained sulphate as a porous aggregate of Copper
containing considerable Impurities. Also reworking of existing Copper deposits by wind erosion
has concentrated Copper in sand deposits as in New Mexico (USA).
Names used in this report are in accordance with the recommendations of the committee. The
stratigraphic nomenclature used in this report is based on the recommendations and decisions
of the Stratigraphic Committee of Pakistan. Since 1961, the Stratigraphic Committee has been
holding meet ings on the stratigraphy of Pakistan, the object of which is the preparation of a
revised stratigraphic Lexicon of Pakistan. This lexicon has not been published yet, but for the
most part the stratigraphic
Identification were made when no diagnostic fossils were available age classification as
established by earlier workers was used.
Equivalent to the Khandimak sandstone and that the name Khadimak, proposed much later,
shluld be dropped. At Marai Bala, the Lumshiiwal Sandstone is 450 feet thick and is composed
mostly of very hardquartzose sandstone which is generally white but in places is stained brown.
The sandstone is fime to me dium grained, in beds as much as 6 feet thick. The beds arecut by
two sets of well-developed joints and typicall break into large blocks. About 70 feet below the
top of the formation is a very ferruginous con cretionary bed 10 feet thick, which, upon
weathering breaks into small blocks. This ferruginous band has been observed near Fort
Lockhart in the Samana Range, about 17 miles southwest of the Marai Bala section.
Black carbonaceous shale and brownish-green soft medium-grained sandstone constitute the
upper 20 feet. At Marai Bala, the upper, contact of the Lumshiwal Sandstone with overlying
Cretaceous rocks seems to be unconformable and contains abun dant limonitic fossil casts,
indicating that the sur face was exposed to weathering before deposition of the overlying beds.
The Lumshiwal Sandstone at the Mazari Tangsection is 224 feet thick and differs in character
from the white very hard quartzose sandstone of Marai Bala.The basal 81 feet is grayish-brown
fine-grained well-sorted hard sandstone, containing beds a few inches to 1 foot thick; it
weathers to brownish green. Overlying this sandstone is 38 feet of light-brown to white
sandstone that is medium grained, well sorted, hard, and composed of quartz grains.The next
higher part of the Lumshiwal Sandstone is 86 feet of greenish-brown to brown fine-grained
hard thin- bedded flaggy sandstone. At the top of the formation, a 19-foot-thick zone is
transitional with the overlying Upper Cretaceous Darsamand Limestone.The bottom of this
zone is greenish-gray calcareous glau- conitic sandstone that grades upward into grayish-brown
to brown sandy, glauconitic-limestone. The unconformity evident at the top of the Lumshiwal
Sandstone at Marai Bala was not seen at Mazari Tang. DARSAMAND LIMESTONE The name
Darsamand Limestone is proposed for upper Cretaceous rocks exposed at the locality of
Darsamand, about 18 miles west of the Kohat quad rangien the Parachinar quadrangle. This
unit has also been recognized by the authors in the Marai Bala,Mazari Tang and Uch Bazar
sections of the kohat quadrangle. At Marai Bala, the limestone is 400 feet thick and is described
in three units. The lower unit is 50 feet thick and consists of brownish-gray hard thick-bedded
(beds as much as 10ft thick) limestone. The base of this unit is sandy, fossiliferous and
glauconitic. The middle unit is 270 feet thick and consists of light-to dark-gray dense hard thin-
bedded (3 in to 1ft) limestone, which breaks with a conchoidal fracture and contains shale
partings. It weathers into nod ules. The upper unit is 80 feet thick and is transitional into
overlying Poleocene beds. It is composed of nodulat argillaceous limestone that grades up ward
into light-gray calcareous shale. Globotruncana sp. has been found in the Darsamand Limestone
at Marai Bala up to the middle of the upper transition zone. In general, the Darsamand
Limestone is slope forming. At the Mazari Tang Section( pi 2), on the cast side of the Kohat
quadrangle, the Darsamand Lime Stone is 800 feet thick and consists of light-gray to gray dense
argillaceous thin-bedded (beds a few inches thick) limestone, which weathers into semi-nodular
pieces. Weathered outcrops of the limestone appear pale blue and chalky and form slopes. Its
upper contact with overlying Paleocene rocks is transitional.
At the Uch Bazar section, only the upper 200 feet of the Darsamand Limestone was measured.
The limestone is gray finely crystalline, hard and mas size and forms a cliff. There is a facies
change from bedded limestone with shale partings at Marai Bala to massive limestone at Uch
Bazaar. The upper surface of the Darsamand Limestone at Uch Bazar is weathered, which
suggests a local uncon formity with overlying Palecene rocks. The Darsamand Limestone is
absent in the Makar-wal area of surghar Range, where the Lower Cretaceous Lumshiwal
Sandstone is in contact withoverlying Paleocene rocks. There may have been tectonic uplift
after the deposition of the Lumshiwal Sandstone in the Surghar Range area, so that Darsamand
Limestone was not deposited, and argillaceous in part, and subordinate calcareous clay. The
bottom unit is 294 feet thick and is composed of brownish-gray to dark gray finely to coarsely
crystalline limestone that is very hard, compact, thick bedded (2-30 ft) and cliff forming, it has a
strong fetid odor when freshly broken. Above
this unit is 96 feet of calcareous clay, fossiliferous limestone, and mottled-brown, yellow , and
greenish- gray argillaceous limestone. The argillaceous lime stone is soft, earthy looking, and
thin bedded.The fossiliferous limestone is gray,medium to coarsely crystalline, and hard.The
next higher unit is 143 feet thick and is composed of fossiliferous light lightbrownish- gray
denes to very finely crystalline lime stone that is medium bedded (!/2-3 ft) and partly nodular
to seminodular. The top unit is 54 feet thick and is composed of light brownish-gray
siltylimestone, dense to very finely crystalline, thin bedded and nodular. The Hangu Formation
at the Mazari Tang section contains diagnostic Paleo-cene Foraminifera. The Hangu Formation
is correlated with the Dhak Pass Formation in the Surghar Range. The base of the Dhak Pass
Formation is approximately at the base of the “Makarawal Copper” seam, as defined by. The
Copper seam was not found in the Hangu Formation in the kohat quadrangle. The upper beds
of the Hangu Formation are con formable with the overlying lockhart Limestone.

Detail Description of Major Deposit.
1. During geological study of the area it has been confirmed that the subject area bears a
continuous formation along the major structures of the area.
2. Many small segments of a continuous vein in the form of small pocket confirmed along
the strike from East to West. The quality is poor at the top as far as the iron oxides
content. The outcrops found at many places along the structures of the area having the
dimensions as length up to 100 meters’ width up to 25meters and depth up to 10
meters
3. It is expected that the quality of the deposit will remain excellent along the strike line
from East to West

Resources Estimation:
 The deposit of Copper as per physical observation are estimated as follows,
a. Eight cross section at an interval of 15 meter were drawn along the length of the deposit
as shown in the fig. the cross-sectional area of the deposit for eight cross sections were
calculated separately.
b. Average length of the deposit was measured to be 15 meters.
c. Bore holes were drilled in each block of the subject area. The quality was confirmed by
actual analysis of the samples. The depth for the purpose of calculation is mineable and
realistic.

Proven Category

Average Length of the deposited = 600 meters
Average Width of the deposited = 32 meters
Average Depth of the deposited = 8 meters
Specific Gravity = 8.95
Reserve Tonnage = 1,374,720Tons
Quality Of Deposit:
Study of the collected samples from the subject deposit indicates that the Copper have a very
good market value. Due to excellent physical and chemical properties.
Mining Method:
As per Geological exploration the dimension of the deposit is good and suitable for the use of
heavy equipment for better results.
Future Planning:
In the 2nd phase of exploration and excavation the remaining area of the total granted area will
be developed and practical mining operation will be carried as in phase I.
