N2 - A coal sample, obtained from Thur (Sindh, Pakistan) coal mine was analyzed for various parameters such as moisture, volatile matter, ash, fixed carbon, chlorine, total sulfur, sulfatic and pyretic sulfur. Fixed carbon (27.19%) was found low as compared to volatile matter (45.92 %), which is an indication of a young coal suggesting its rank between peat and lignite. Elements such as iron, zinc, nickel, copper, lead and chromium, determined in the coal ash suggest that the concentration of iron was highest where as the concentration of chromium was lowest among the metals studied.
