Petrogenetic implications of the mineral-chemical characteristics of scheelite and associated phases from Miniki Gol (Chitral), NW Pakistan

The stratabound tungsten mineralization in Chitral, northern Pakistan, lies within the Hindu Kush terrane and is located to the north-west of the Main Karakoram Thrust (MKT) that represents the suture zone between the Kohistan complex and Asian plate. The area has undergone amphibolite facies metamorphism followed by retrogression and at least two episodes of deformation. Scheelite occurs mainly in the calc-silicate quartzite and subordinate...
