Fifty percent of the country's small and medium-sized mines are inactive
Head of Mines and Minerals Commission of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture: More than fifty percent of small and medium-sized mines in the country are not active.
According to Iran Stone Exhibition, Bahram Shakouri on Wednesday at the first meeting of the Small Scale Mining Coordination Council of Isfahan province added: "Most of the mines in the country are closed now but with little investment they can be activated."
According to him, many mines are statistically active but not active in practice, and mines that cannot use their full capacity are inactive.
The head of the Mines and Minerals Commission of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture noted: Our country should have a 1% share of the world's production and mining, but under the current conditions our mineral extraction is below 1%.
He added: Wrong policymaking in various fields, especially the Ministry of Mining and Trade, has closed mines.
Shakuri reiterated that the exchange rate hike is a tool for export development, but the ministry banned the exporters by misguiding policy.
He pointed out that the mining and mining industry experienced a negative growth of 9% last year, and with the implementation of tax policies and taxation this year it is possible to re-negative this sector.
The head of the Mines and Minerals Commission of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture said the organization and the ministry of mining and trade and trade unions should devote part of their income to research.
Uniform version for all mines cannot be wrapped
He said that it is impossible to create a single version for all industrial and mining units in the country: At present 11 million tons of ore are produced in the country and seven to ten percent of them are exported and ninety three percent It is processed.
Shakuri said that small and medium-sized mines play an important role in the prosperity of this sector. Eighty-three percent of Iran's mines are small.
Head of the Mines and Minerals Commission of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture stated that out of five jobs created in the mining sector in the world, four jobs are allocated to small and medium-sized mines.
He said that we need to move towards internationalization of companies and industries: Two-thirds of world trade occurs in the global value chain.
Shakuri reiterated: "Exports and sales are driven by product development and value-added, and domestic companies and industries must strive to sell 70% of their products abroad."
The first meeting of the Small Scale Mines Coordination Council of Isfahan was held with the presence of the CEO of the country's Mineral Production and Production Company, the head of the Isfahan Province Mining and Trade Organization.
According to the report, Isfahan has a population of more than five million, more than nine thousand small and large production units with a capital of two hundred twenty-one billion trillion and employment of two hundred and sixty-three thousand, about eighty-forty mines.
