  • Afghanistan: Extreme Weather Regional Overview Key Highlights
    Afghanistan: Extreme Weather Regional Overview (as of 04 March 2015) Key Highlights: Forecasts over the next three days predict snowfall and rain. Potential flooding predicted in southern Paktika and for parts of Zabul and Nangarhar. Assessments in Panjsher suspended as road access remains blocked due to snow in remaining four villages. Government reiterates sufficient capacity remains in-country to meet humanitarian needs. International support to future reconstruction and rehabilitation of affected areas remains a priority. Meetings and Coordination: National Security Council technical working group Following criticism from the media of the Government response to date, today’s meeting of the Working Group focussed on how the Government can ensure more effective public messaging in terms of their coordination and response to the various emergencies affecting Afghanistan. It was agreed that line ministries would seek to improve their tracking of the totality of response efforts to date. A consolidated report will be pulled together by the Working Group and shared widely to all ministries and provincial offices, as well as external stakeholders, including the media, in order to better reflect the work of the Government. Consolidated information will be shared with OCHA. The CEO directed Mr. Barmak to compile an overview of all housing damage, livestock losses and other damaged or depleted income sources owing to extreme weather. MRRD and the Ministry of Public Works were tasked to carry out the assessment. Mr. Barmak also clarified that the President’s office had placed no ban on ministries and governors speaking to the press. Rather, all ministries and governors should ensure when making statements about the scale of the emergency or the number of people affected, they should cross-check their information through the Working Group to ensure use of verified figures.

  • 9.0 Deposits Related to Regionally Metamorphosed Rocks
    9.0 Deposits related to regionally metamorphosed rocks Afghanistan has large areas of ancient high-grade metamorphic rocks permissive for the occurrence of deposit types that result from the processes of regional metamorphism. An important deposit type related to regionally metamorphosed rocks in Afghanistan is low-sulfide gold-quartz veins, which form in clusters in the northern part of the country in Badakhshan Province (section 9.1) (http://www.bgs.ac.uk/afghanminerals/preciousMetal.htm). Small graphite occurrences also are present in regionally metamorphosed Archean and Proterozoic rocks in the northeast part of Afghanistan (section 9.2). Metasomatic and metamorphic talc and magnesite deposits may also be important sources of these commodities in Afghanistan (section 9.3). Additionally, some of the iron and possibly base-metal deposits proximal to highly metasomatized and deformed zones along the Herat fault zone may also be related to regional metamorphism (section 7.2). Gold placers derived from low-sulfide gold-quartz veins are discussion in section 10. Additional gold occurrences and deposits that are related to igneous rocks are discussed in section 5.2. 9.1 Low-sulfide gold-quartz veins Contribution by Stephen G. Peters. Gold-quartz veins, many with characteristics of low-sulfide gold-quartz veins, are present in the northern parts of Afghanistan in Badakhshan Province (Bothman, 1953; Abdullah and others, 1977). A number of these gold-quartz veins may be of sufficient size to support a local gold industry. Additional discoveries of small- to medium-sized deposits are likely in this remote area. This deposit type also commonly generates secondary alluvial placer gold deposits.
