The lively mining sector is moving forward
Head of the Iranian Mining House: In the ornamental stone mines, an unexpected leap in the country began in the eight years following the debates of new technologies. Today, although we have not been very successful in exporting minerals, we are one of the four largest countries in the world in ore reserves and in production.
According to the International Stone Exhibition of Iran, the head of the mine, while announcing the achievements of Iran's mining and mining industry in the last 40 years, on the eve of the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, announced that the mining sector in general has been moving forward over the years. The economy has been successful.
Mohammad Reza Bahraman, the head of the Iranian Mining House, said about the forty-year achievements of the Islamic Revolution in the mining and mining industries: If we take the whole of the years from 1 to 2 (ten years before the revolution), It has had its movements and cultures. For example, Angoran Lead and Zinc, for example, began its career in investment and debates.
He described, respectively, the growth of Iran's mining industry over the last forty years, that in steel debates, we had only meltwater at first, but after the year, practically the views and attitudes in the mining sector soared. 1367 Onwards, a leap in the country's mining sector began with the planning of the mining sector and the mine began its main move. Today in the steel industry, in addition to supplying the entire domestic demand, the surplus sector is exported overseas.
The head of the Iranian Mining House stated that the mining sector had a production of about 200 million tonnes during those years.
Bahramman said: "There have been some big moves in the copper industry. Sarcheshmeh Copper came to an end in the years following the active revolution and its investment and processing sector. Larger mines around Copper Springs also became active. Today, in the copper mining sector in the world, we are among the countries named and among the countries that we can influence the consumer market according to the amount of production we have.
He added: "In the ornamental stone mines, there was also an unexpected leap in the country over the years that began with new technologies. Today, although we have not been very successful in exporting minerals, we are one of the four largest countries in the world in ore reserves and production.
The head of the mining house reminded that the new lead and zinc mines have been set up in the country besides the Angouran region. Is.
He also added that iron ore mines have had an unexpected jump over the last 40 years. In fact, despite the fact that before the revolution we had to import raw materials from overseas even when supplying raw material to the smelter, today the capacity of these mines has reached very high figures, which is a special feature of iron ore mines.
Recognizing that we were importers in industries such as cement even up to three years ago, Bahraman said: Today, not only is it sufficiently invested in domestic consumption and provided to the domestic consumer for various building projects, construction, etc. Also available. Our cement industry today produces eighty-four million tons of cement, although it was a cement importer some ten or twelve years ago, but today it is a cement exporting country.
The head of the Iranian Mining House continued that in stones such as ceramic tile, in addition to being a good consumer of its filler mines today, we also have a very high production surplus enabling us to increase our exports. "We have a good position in other gold and exclusively gold mines," he said. Over the last five or six years, there have been some good moves in the exploration of gold mines in the country, which have been improving day by day. Last year we had eight tons of production, which we will definitely have more access to over the years, given the discoveries we have throughout the country and the technologies that are being implemented.
Bahram also added that conditions in coal mines are also much better than before. Although we do not have high projects compared to coal mines in the world, we are at least supplying the country's domestic needs. It should be noted that if we are to expand the steel industry, we need to increase our coal reserves by twice as much now.
"Today we have deep reserves at depths of 1,550 meters," the head of Iran's mining house said, stressing that we were in good condition. During the last ten years there have been some discoveries in the field of exploration in the country due to the special potentials of this field due to the very rich resources in the country and the creation of added value.
He said: "In general, the mining sector has been moving forward. Perhaps because of the country's mineral industries such as petroleum and divine wealth, we expected to gain more, but we could adapt our programs to strategies both at home and abroad and increase our output. To give. Then operate the investment flows in different parts of the mine.
In the capital market, investment in the mining sector over the past fifty-five years has so far been about $ 30 billion, much of which has occurred over the past forty years, Bahraman stressed. The result of these investments is that today we have exported more than $ 8.5 billion in the mining sector alone.
He added: "Despite all the problems that existed since the beginning of the year, the mining sector was one of the sectors that exported about $ 7.2 billion, indicating that the sector is active and alive."
