Role in Economic DevelopmentNatural resources play a fundamental role in determining economic growth and economic development of a country . The natural resources of soil not only helps in production of food but also in production of many other agriculture crops that are use as industrial raw materials like jute , cotton ,sugarcane an d rubber.

Mineral Resources
Minerals are the important natural resources . These are extracted from earth. Some minerals the coal, Iron Copper etc are found in solid form and some like Gas patrol ,oil etc discover in liquid shape .

Coal:
Coal is used in thermal power station and in furnaces for making bricks. About 80 percent of cement industry has now switched over to indigenous coal from furnace oil that has saved considerable foreign exchange being spent on the import of furnace oil. Quality of coal is not very good. The coalfield in the Sindh province has huge coal resources of about 175 billion tones. In view of the anticipated shortfall of electricity and other energy resources during the next 10 years, the maximum utilization of coal would be required in power generation and gasification.

Natural Gas: Natural gas is used in domestic cooking, thermal power stations and steel furnaces and as a raw material for fertilizer industry and in CNG kits for transport purpose. It is used almost in every industry
Page 10
Petroleum: Petroleum or Crude, oil is used in transport, power-generating stations, in iron and steel furnace Petroleum is known as black liquid gold. Of the total requirement only 40 percent is produced with the country and the rest is imported from abroad.

Lime Stone Limestone is used in manufacture of cement, lime, soap, paper, bleaching powder and glass. It is also used in paint industries. It is used in Glass making, in some circumstances. It is added to toothpaste, paper, plastics, paint, tiles, and other materials as both white pigment and a cheap filler. Used in blast furnaces, limestone extracts iron from its ore. It is often found in medicines and cosmetics. It is used in sculptures because of its suitability for carving.
Page 12
Marble and Granite: Marble is used for decoration in construction industry and buildings. It is also used in sculpture. Colorless or light-colored marbles are a very pure source of calcium carbonate, which is used in a wide variety of industries. Finely ground marble or calcium carbonate powder is a component in paper, and in consumer products such as toothpaste, plastics, and paints

SOAPSTONE:
Soapstone (steatite) is a kind of talc (gray to green mineral found in rocks). It is used in many ways. In Pakistan it is used in the manufacturing of soaps, ceramics and face powder. Soapstone is used for sculpture. Soapstone is used by craftsman and carpenters as a marker because its marks are visible and not permanent.

CLAY
In pakistan the important industrial clays are china clay, fire clay, fullers earth and bentonite.
(1)CHINA CLAY:
China clay or koalin is used in the ceramic industry (products made from clay and similar materials, as
pottery and brick) and for the manufacture of special type of cement.
Page 18
(2)FIRE CLAY:
Fire clay is used in refractories (bricks of various shapes) , potteries and other chemicals
(3)FULLERS EARTH:
It is used in steel mills, oil filtering, oil refining and sealing reservoirs.
(4)BENTONITE:
IT is used in the same way as fullers earth.
Page 19
Sulphur: It is the raw material used in various industries. it is mainly used for sulphuric acid and in manufacturing of explosives, paints, dyes, rayon (kind of cloth), fertilizer and for refining petroleum
Page 20
• MAGNESITE:
Magnesite is used in manufacturing of cement, paper, rayon, fertilizer, chemicls and drugs.
Page 21
GEMSTONES:
Gemstones are mainly used in jewellry, ornaments (thing that adds to the beauty of a thing) and as decoration articles.
Page 22
Page 23
Iron Ore Iron ore is used in making steel, construction, engineering products and transport industry.
Page 24
Copper: Copper, gold and silver are some highly precious metals. They are used for making ornaments, utensils and decorative articles. Copper is used in electrical equipment, power and communication transmission lines.
Page 25
Chromites: Chromite is used in making engineering tools and stainless steel. It provides stiffness (firmness) and electrical resistance to steel.

• Mining is an important industry in Pakistan. Pakistan has deposits of several minerals including coal, copper, gold, chromite, mineral salt, bauxite and several other minerals. There are also a variety of precious and semi-precious minerals that are also mined. These include peridot, aquamarine, topaz, ruby, emerald, rare-earth minerals bastnaesite and xenotime, sphene, tourmaline, and many varieties and types of quartz.

Power RessourcesPower resources are the Foundation of economic development . 2 types of sources
•Commercial sources •Non-Commercial sources
To Analyze energy or power resources in Pakistan , we can group them into 4 categories.
A.Thermal Power B.Hydel Power C.Nuclear PowerD.Non conventional Power
Page 47
A. Thermal Power Thermal Power resources Obtained from coal , Oil and Natural Gas .
A. Hydel Power Hydel Power is generated from waterfalls developed by making dams on rivers.
A. Nuclear PowerNuclear Power is the most important source for generating energy Nuclear reactor convert uranium into plutonium which used as fuel for generating energy.
A. Non conventional Power Non Conventional Power like bio Gas Solar and wind Power are comparatively cheaper and operated simply…
