  • Geohydrologic Summary of the Balkhab Copper Area of Interest
    Chapter 4C. Geohydrologic Summary of the Balkhab Copper Area of Interest By Thomas J. Mack and Michael P. Chornack 4C.1 Introduction This chapter describes the geohydrology of the Balkhab volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) copper area of interest (AOI) in northern Afghanistan identified by Peters and others (2007). The AOI is located in the Balkhab district of the Sari Pul Province, the Kishindih district of Balkh Province, and the Dara-i-Suf district of Sam Angan Province in northern Afghanistan (fig. 4C–1a,b), and is centered about 130 km (kilometers) southwest of the city of Mazari Sharif and about 130 km northwest of the village of Bamyan. The Balkhab prospect subarea covers 321 km2 (square kilometers) of the 1,858-km2 AOI. Water is needed not only to process mineral resources in Afghanistan, but also to supply existing communities and the associated community growth that may accompany a developing mining economy. Information on the climate, vegetation, topography, and demographics of the AOI is summarized to provide information on the seasonal availability of, and seasonal demands for, water. The geohydrology of the AOI is described through the use of maps of streams and irrigated areas, generalized geohydrology and topography, and well locations. The results of lineament analyses are presented to identify areas where the rock may be more fractured than in other areas, which may be an indicator of high relative water yield and storage in bedrock aquifers. The results of field reconnaissance work conducted in the AOI by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) minerals teams in November 2009 are described.

  • 23 September 2010
    SIOC – Afghanistan: UNITED NATIONS CONFIDENTIAL UN Department of Safety and Security, Afghanistan Security Situation Report, Week 38, 17- 23 September 2010 JOINT SECURITY ANALYSIS The number of security incidents experienced a dramatic increase over the previous week. This increase included primarily armed clashes, IED incidents and stand-off attacks, and was witnessed in all regions. At a close look, the massive increase is due to an unprecedented peak of security incidents recorded on Election Day 18 September, with incidents falling back to the September average of 65 per day afterwards. Incidents were more widely spread than compared to last year’s Election Day on 20 August 2009, but remained within the year-on-year growth span predicted by UNDSS-A. As last year, no spectacular attacks were recorded on 18 September, as the insurgents primarily targeted the population in order to achieve a low voter turn-out. Kunduz recorded the highest numbers in the NER on Election Day, while Baghlan has emerged as the AGE centre of focus afterwards. In the NR, Faryab accounted for the majority of incidents, followed by Balkh; Badghis recorded the bulk of the security incidents in the WR. The south to east belt accounted for the majority of the overall incidents, with a slight change to the regional dynamics with the SER recording nearly double the number of incidents as the SR, followed by the ER. Kandahar and Uruzgan accounted for the majority of incidents in the SR, while lack of visibility and under-reporting from Hilmand Province continues to result in many of the incidents in the SR remaining unaccounted for.

  • Daily Situation Report 10 November 2010 Safety and Security Issues Relevant to Sssi Personnel and Clients
    Strategic SSI - Afghanistan DAILY SITUATION REPORT 10 NOVEMBER 2010 SAFETY AND SECURITY ISSUES RELEVANT TO SSSI PERSONNEL AND CLIENTS STANDING THREAT ASSESSMENT (KABUL): Threat reports continue to indicate that insurgents aspire to conduct coordinated attacks in Kabul City, as such the threat remains extant. Recent threat reporting has also indicated likely reconnaissance of areas and businesses frequented by members of the international community. Although no significant attacks were carried out in Kabul during the recent parliamentary election, or indeed after the event, the recent reduction in physical security in the city may provide insurgents with exploitable opportunities to carry out attacks. Suicide and complex attacks remain the preferred choice for insurgents in order to gain maximum casualties figures and the associated high degree of media attention. It remains possible that insurgents will still seek to undermine the democratic process by conducting high profile attacks when the final results are announced. It remains prudent for international agencies in the Kabul area to maintain a high degree of security vigilance. Sporadic IDF attacks in the city centre are to be expected. Any attacks are likely to consist of between one and four 107 mm rockets launched towards the city centre. Incidents of intimidation, executions by insurgents and targeting of government officials are increasing throughout the country. It seems to be a form of revenge by insurgents as they have lost more than 300 insurgent commanders over the past
