Abstract
This paper has been being written in pursuit of analyzing geology, evaluating existing mineral, oil & gas reserves and feasibility study of prevailing geo-resources in Zakiganj Upazila, one of the resourceful Upazilas in Sylhet region. Surma & Kushiyara River along with the Zakiganj deposit a large amount of sand every year which is usually used as raw materials of the nearest bricks factory. However, sand deposit is not extracted commercially but it would be prospective resources of our country to minimize the construction cost. This study usually entails sufficient information on extracting, processing, metallurgical, economic and other relevant factors.Keywords:
