The document provides an overview of the Geological Survey of Pakistan (GSP). It discusses the GSP's evolution from British and Indian geological surveys [1]. It outlines the GSP's organizational structure and budget allocations to its main focuses of geological mapping, mineral exploration, and assessing energy and geohazard risks [2]. Tables and images display the GSP's fieldwork, laboratory analyses, technical assistance provided, and important mineral discoveries over time [3]. Challenges facing the GSP include low staff numbers, security issues in Balochistan, and lack of coordination with other departments.
