Although the Inspectorate of Mines has reported no mining activity in the district, the Gazetteer of Balochistan points out some mineral resources which were being exploited at that time. Aluminium Sulphate mixed with Ferrous Sulphate was obtained from a mine near Shamal Bandar and was used for producing a black dye. There was a sulphur mine near the Mazwar Kaur in the neighbourhood of Pasni. A chemical examination of water from springs at Kallag in Kulanch indicated the presence of a large amount of Sulphured Hydrogen.

Salt is manufactured throughout the district and is obtained by the evaporation of sea or rain water which leaves behind good quality salt. Sea or rain water is stored in pans or pools. Sometimes high tides also brought the sea water in.
