At the meeting, environmental officials and mining activists sought to find a solution to reduce the process of mining licenses in the country by presenting their views.

One of the measures was announced by the Department of Conservation and Land Affairs of the country's Forest, Watershed Management and Natural Resources Department, which said miners were not required to receive thirteen long-term inquiries to establish mines.

Establishing facilities does not require a permit

At the meeting, Masoud Mansour, Deputy Director of Conservation and Land Affairs of the country's Forest, Watershed and Natural Resources Organization, said: "If we want to establish facilities related to the same mineral area within the mineral area, there is no need to obtain new licenses for those facilities and to have permits. Mining is sufficient, but two conditions are needed to do this: first, that the permit is allowed to establish facilities, and second, that the facilities are related to the same mineral.

"But the question may arise: what if a operator wants to set up a facility outside the operating license?" The operator must in this case be granted the permits, meaning that the applicant must first go to the Jihad Agricultural District and provide them with a land map, and the Jihad shall indicate a map of natural resources available. Did the Earth Build Facilities?

Mansour said thirteen inquiries from various agencies and organizations had to be obtained to establish the facility, adding: "These permits take a long time and the Jihad of agriculture, natural resources, and so on." We are trying to reduce these steps.

He said: "In the inquiries of the country's forest, watershed and natural resources organization," the person "is not considered and we consider" place ", in the sense that we cannot say for certain that it can do so and is forbidden to another person.

The official said that the life of the mine until the end of the mining process, said: "If the facilities want to remain after mining, they are no longer subject to mining laws. The installations are within the mine area, so they are not given a separate document and are subject to the same mining licenses.

He added: "There is a lot of natural wealth in the country that with the proper program can be left in addition to the current exploitation for the next generation.

Mansoor continued: Sistan-Baluchestan has the proper capacities in the natural and human spheres that must be used properly. It should be borne in mind that more than ninety-nine percent of the mineral resources exist in the field of natural resources.

Deputy Minister of Forests and Rural Affairs of the Department of Forests, Rangelands and Watersheds of the country about the facilitation of work for the investors of the mining sector said: One of the important issues in the mining sector, is the receipt of various inquiries, which in the field of natural resources management, promising more cooperation to facilitate the process. It does the job.

Security - an important factor in attracting investment
