Referring to the issue of reducing dependence on oil resources in next year's budget, Rahmani said: "The fact that Iran, with its God-given resources in the mining sector, can boost domestic needs without relying on imports while boosting production, employment growth and export growth." However, it is important to know the capacities and capabilities of the mining and mineral industries.
He added: The capacity of the mining sector has not been paid much attention over the past four decades, but today's cruel enemy sanctions have given the country and the country an opportunity to make good use of it.
According to the Minister of Industry, according to the planning of the 12th Government and with the Ministry of Industry, the issue of development of exploration, growth of mineral extraction in the path of recovery of mineral industries is on the real agenda.
