Jharia represents the largest coal reserves in India having estimated reserves of 19.4 billion tonnes of coking coal. It has a long (100 years) history of underground fires.

A number of highly potassic dikes and sills, many transected in boreholes and also exposed in mines, intrude Permo-Carboniferous coal-bearing Gondwana sediments of the Jharia Coalfield within the Damodar Valley.

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
