Sinjrani Volcanic group: It
consists of agglomerate,

conglomerate, tuff and lava
with subordinate shale,
sandstone and
limestone. It includes Basaltic-
andesitic lava flows and
volcaniclastics, with minor
shale, sandstone, siltstone,
lenticular
bodies of limestone and
mudstone. It is Mid to Late
Cretaceous
(Aptian to Santonian). This
group was invaded during Late
Cretaceous
to Pleistocene by Chagai
intrusions, represented by
several phases
including granite, adamellite,
granodiorite, tonalite, diorite
and
gabbro. Its thickness is 900-
1200m. The upper contact with
Humai
formation is generally
conformable and lower contact
is not exposed.
Kuchaki volcanic group
(equivalent of Sinjrani volcanic
group) is
named for the village of
Kuchaki (34 G/8) about 63 km
southwest of
Ahmad Wal (HSC, 1961). It
consists of volcanic
agglomerate, lava,
tuff, with subordinate
inpersistent limestone,
tuffaceous shale and
sandstone near the top of the
assemblage. Bunap complex
