Chamalang Coal Mines are extended over in the districts of Kohlu, Barkhan, and mostly concentrated in Loralai [1] and expands over an area of 500 square miles.

[3] Since 1974, due to a long-lasting tribal clash between the Luni and Marri tribes the area was deprived of its true potential.

[2][4] Resultantly, on December 12, 2006, a tripartite agreement was signed among the Lunis, Marris and mine contractors.

[1][4] Since 2007, approximately 55,000 jobs have been generated by the coal mines for the residents of Balochistan, Khyber-Pukhtunkhwa and Punjab.

An estimated 73,926 people including Chamalang levies, contractors and labours have been employed in the coal mines.
