Safed Koh (säfād` kō), mountain range on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, SE of Kabul; rises to 15,620 ft (4,761 m) at Mt. Sikaram. It parallels the Kabul River. A spur of the range is crossed by the Khyber Pass. The lower slopes are nearly barren; pine and deodar formerly grew on the main range, but devastation during the Afghan civil war reduced timber resources. The valleys support some agriculture.

Historically, the Pushtun tribes, secure within their mountain bastions centered on the Suleiman range and the Safed Koh, have successfully resisted all attempts to subdue them by Greeks, Persians, Kushans, Mongols, Mughals, Sikhs, British, and other Afghans. In Pakistan, analysis of existing well data combined with geological and geophysical studies will lead to an evaluation of prospects on the Safed Koh Block. Scimitar was awarded an Exploration License in Pakistan on November 10, 2001 covering 272,000 acres on the Safed Koh block. |
