The method of gold washing is very crude, primitive and most of the gold is washed away back into the river. The current study mainly focused on extraction of placer gold deposits. Pneumatic machines from Passu to Shimshal (Hunza valley) Gilgit-Baltistan. The mercury amalgamation and cyanide leached methods have been used for placer gold deposits extraction from the concentrate obtained from shaking table. The amount of gold recovered from amalgamation method with mercury was 30.9%. The alloyed gold with other metals, gold dust, and fine gold was recovered by chemical process. The reagent consumption, i.e. 1.4 kg/ton of NACN and 6 Kg / ton of CaO were used for extraction of placer gold deposits. -
Pressive and Should Broaden the Book's Appeal Far Beyond Those Familiar with Its Subject
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Publicity Contact: Samantha Lien, Roger Charlie (720) 425-3933 | [email protected] EDGE OF THE MAP THE MOUNTAIN LIFE OF CHRISTINE BOSKOFF “The Next Must-Read” — REI Uncommon Path “An intimate look at the friendships and adventures enjoyed by those in the close-knit mountaineering community.” — Booklist “Equal parts climbing history, love story, and riveting mystery.” — Vanessa O’Brien, first American and British woman to summit K2 The Remarkable, Untold Story of a Pioneer in Mountaineering Groundbreaking. World-class. Legendary. All words that have been used to describe Christine Boskoff, a pioneering high- altitude mountaineer and mountain guide, one of the first women to own and operate a major, international mountain guiding business. And yet, her story—that of a talented and driven young woman who dared to challenge herself to excel in a male-dominated sport—is largely unknown. A remarkable life tragically cut short, Boskoff was at the top of the high- altitude world when she and her partner Charlie Fowler died in an avalanche on a remote mountain in 2006; at the time, she was the only living woman to summit six of the 8000-meter peaks. Charismatic, principled, and humble, Boskoff was also a deeply loved role model to her climbing partners and the Sherpa community. Edge of the Map traces the sharp twists and turns in Boskoff’s life, from her early years as a Lockheed engineer, through her first successes in the climbing world, to her purchase of Seattle-based Mountain Madness after owner and climber Scott Fischer was killed in the 1996 Everest disaster. -
Tntroduction to the Geological Map of the North Karakorum Terrain from the Chapursan Valley to the Shimshal Pass 1:150.000 Scale

Riass*nto. Questa nota introduce una nuova carta geologica a scala 1:150.000, allegata al presente articolo. L'area cartografata include un vasto settore dell'alta valle di Hunza (Karakorum, Pakistan), situato a N del Batolite Assiale del Karakorum e comprendente la copertura sedimentaria del Karakorum, l'età della quale è compresa tra il Permiano e il Cretacico superiore. Sono state riconosciute 4 grandi unità strutturali, che risultano dislocate in modo complesso durante eventi orogenetici polifasici, anivi dal Cretaceo sino a tutto il Cenozoico, in conseguenza delle successive collisioni contro il margine asiatico dell'Arco del Kohistan prima e della Placca Indiana poi. La cartografia presentata, pur avendo un marcato carattere stratigrafico-strut- turale, tiene conto, a grandi linee, anche della distribuzione dei depositi quaternari. Abstract. These notes introduce a new geological map at 1:150,000 scale of a large part of the Upper Hunza valley (Karakorum, Pakistan). The mapped area includes the Permian to Cretaceous sedimentary cover of the Karakorum, which is located north of the Karakorum Axial Batholith. The rnapped sedimentary and intrusive complexes form four major tectonic units, stacked in a very complex system, due to polyphase events, spanning from Cretaceous to Cenozoic. These even6 are linked to repeated collisions against the Asian margin of the Kohistan Arc during the Cretaceous and of the Indian Plate during the Cenozoic. -

Survey of Ecotourism Potential in Pakistan's Biodiversity Project Area (Chitral and Northern Areas): Consultancy Report for IU
Survey of ecotourism potential in Pakistan’s biodiversity project area (Chitral and northern areas): Consultancy report for IUCN Pakistan John Mock and Kimberley O'Neil 1996 Keywords: conservation, development, biodiversity, ecotourism, trekking, environmental impacts, environmental degradation, deforestation, code of conduct, policies, Chitral, Pakistan. 1.0.0. Introduction In Pakistan, the National Tourism Policy and the National Conservation Strategy emphasize the crucial interdependence between tourism and the environment. Tourism has a significant impact upon the physical and social environment, while, at the same time, tourism's success depends on the continued well-being of the environment. Because the physical and social environment constitutes the resource base for tourism, tourism has a vested interest in conserving and strengthening this resource base. Hence, conserving and strengthening biodiversity can be said to hold the key to tourism's success. The interdependence between tourism and the environment is recognized worldwide. A recent survey by the Industry and Environment Office of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP/IE) shows that the resource most essential for the growth of tourism is the environment (UNEP 1995:7). Tourism is an environmentally-sensitive industry whose growth is dependent upon the quality of the environment. Tourism growth will cease when negative environmental effects diminish the tourism experience. By providing rural communities with the skills to manage the environment, the GEF/UNDP funded project "Maintaining Biodiversity in Pakistan with Rural Community Development" (Biodiversity Project), intends to involve local communities in tourism development. The Biodiversity Project also recognizes the potential need to involve private companies in the implementation of tourism plans (PC II:9). -

Transport Infrastructure Development, Tourism and Livelihood Strategies An Analysis of Isolated Communities of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan Asif Hussain A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University New Zealand December 2019 i Abstract Geographically isolated communities around the world are dependent upon the limited assets in local subsistence economies to generate livelihoods. Locally available resources shape and give identity to unique cultural activities that guarantee individual, family and community livelihood sustainability. The social structure provides community relationship networks, which ensure access to, and availability of, resources over long periods. Resources are utilised in ways that reduces vulnerability, stresses and shocks while ensuring long-term resilience. Preparedness and adaptation are embedded into cultural memory, enabling communities to survive in isolated, remote and harsh conditions. Communities’ cultural memories, storytelling, traditional knowledge, interdependence and unwritten cultural norms that build resilience to sustain cultures that have limited interactions with the outside world. This thesis aims to investigate the consequences of transport infrastructure development, mainly of roads, on livelihood strategies of isolated communities in a tourism context in Gilgit- Baltistan, Pakistan. -

Rural Tourism, Income and Rapid Urbanization: Exploring the Nexus Using a Multi- Disciplinary Approach for Hunza, Pakistan

The improvements in infrastructure and communication systems under the aegis of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in Gilgit Baltistan have led to exponential increase in tourists arrival in the recent years. Does this trend lead to increase in incomes and spurring an unplanned and rapid urbanization? To examine this question, we take District Hunza as a case study on the basis of evidence suggesting that around 70 percent of total tourists to Gilgit-Baltistan visit Hunza. To explore the relationship between tourists arrival and rapid urbanization, three types of data were used: survey data collected via questionnaires, secondary data from government sources, and Google images, Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 from remotely sensed data. Using cross tabulations, this study suggests that tourists arrival led to increase in incomes, which were then spent on building commercial infrastructure. -
