In the north
Coal is found in Baluchistan, Upper Punjab and in Thar Desert. Thar desert holds the largest coal reserves in Pakistan and this coal is also known as Thar Coal.
Coal is mined in Kalabagh, many areas of Baluchistan and Punjab. The largest reserves of coal have been found in Thar, the largest desert of Pakistan. These reserves are also termed as Thar Coal.
Pakistan has two deserts Thar and Rohi.. Thar is the largest one. Thar desert is famous for large coal reserves.
"Thar" coal field in pakistan is the biggest one
actually there are no oasis in Thar desert............but guys if anyone has any info. about it then please share it with me because i have a project on it.
Thar coal reserve is biggest in Pakistan , it is 120 km away from Karachi ,sindh
Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) will allow you to convert the coal into gas underground (gasification). The process starts a controlled fire in the undergrond deposit that slowly cooks the coal and turns it into gas. You then extract the syngas from adjacent wells and use it to make electricity or make liquid fuels in a gas to liquids (GTL) plant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_coal_gasification This is a clean proven technology that we have proposed for Thar. You could also dig down to the coal. When the pit flooded from the aquafiers above you could use dredges outfitted with special cutterhead tools to mine the coal underwater. This of course can be quite expensive, but it is a proven technology. Here is a video of how they work: http://www.dredge.com/animations/conventional_dredge_animation.htm The Thar coal will spontaneously combust after it is left in the open air to dry for about 2 weeks. This is another consideration so your user must be prepared to dry and use the mined coal if UCG is not used. If the Thar coal is left exposed to the dry air of the Thar desert and the mine does not flood it then the coal will catch on fire and start to burn up the coal underground. The burning coal generates its own oxygen from the water and does not need to be exposed to air to burn. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mine_fire This could create an environmental disaster as it has in China mines and India coal mines. On top of this unfortunate possibilty the Thar coal would of course be lost as an asset to the Nation and People of Pakistan. The coal mining method for Thar must be very carefully studied.

Thar Desert in Pakistan has the 7th largest coal reserves in the world, Coal is a valuable mineral specially amid the steeply rising energy costs in the world, however the modern scientific breakthroughs has evolved new technologies to process coal in a more efficient, clean & environment friendly way. The largely untapped Thar Coal reserves has for years been red taped in Pakistan by the powerful Oil lobbies who bribe their way in Politics & bureaucracy to keep the valuable coal reserves at bay. South African Oil & chemicals giant company Sasol has the technology to extract Oil & chemicals from Coal but its feasibility is only viable if the intl oil prices remain above US$40/barrel. In the last decade the oil prices have remained well above this threshold therefore justifying prompt action / investment in Thar Coal reserves which can turn around Pakistans & even the regions dire energy & economic crisis.

Some ideas to represent coal for a school project include using black construction paper cutouts or drawings, using black rocks or charcoal pieces, creating a miniature coal mine diorama, or using black sand or soil as a substitute.
The Thar Desert is located in northwest India.
The Thar Desert is not separating.
