The document summarizes information about the Swat Emerald Mines located in Mingora, Pakistan. The mines cover an area of 182 acres and have been mined for emeralds since 1958. The mines are divided into several areas, including Mine No. 1, Mine No. 2, and Sarkan Area. A proposed new working plan involves clearing debris from Mine No. 1 and Mine No. 2 over several months using mine machinery. Supporting facilities at the site include a workshop, store, lamp room, and first aid room. The summary projects total expenditures of 9.02 million Pakistani rupees for capital, revenue, and operating expenses over the next 10 years from 2010-2020.

8. Proposed working plan
 In 2012 M/s karim and company proposed a working plan to Government
 Following short term plan will be carried out at Mine1, Mine2 ,Mine3 area
 Mine 1: Debries produced during illegal mining/rainfall which have buried the
mineralized body should be cleared in 3 months
 Mine2:- The debries removal work would be started from the South and North
faces of M2 to clear in 5 months
 Sarkan area: It is the extreme north of the Swat Emerald Mine and the present adit
should need proper timbering
 Sarkan:- This area is badly affected by the fault line and the cracks developed will
have to be removed through Mine machinery
