Multiple circular chains to export
Chairman of the Mines and Minerals Commission of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce: Today, numerous circulars in the fields of production and export are chained to prevent any movement in the mining and mineral industries.
According to Iran's International Stone Exhibition, Bahram Shakouri on Sunday at the second conference and exhibition of non-ferrous metals and mines at the Olympic Hotel, said: Copper, lead and zinc, decorative stones, iron ore, etc. have all involved the relevant actors, although this is not in line with the definition of mineral raw material as provided by the Mines Act.
He added: According to the law, if the extraction material of the mine is subject to chemical and physical change, it is not considered as a mineral raw material, however today the mineral practitioners believe that the more value added, the more valuable it is, but the capability They should also be considered.
The Chairman of the Commission stated: If the definition of raw material provided for in the Mines Act is not acceptable, it shall be amended so that the operations have a legal justification.
He pointed out that now, with the boycott program, the enemy is imposing a number of bottlenecks on economic activists, but inside the country we must not punish investors and activists for production and export.
Shakuri added: "When there is surplus production in different sectors, export should be allowed and in the decorative stone sector the reserves of three and one billion tonnes will be based on previous recorded data and the annual production will reach nine to eleven million tonnes. It takes several centuries to save.
He noted: the use of building and decorative stones in facades and residential units is declining, composites and glass have been replaced in facades and other materials, and we are inappropriately politicizing the idea of storing stones in the ground.
According to Shakory, Italy, as the home of ornamental stones, accounts for twenty-two percent of the world's crude exports annually, India's thirty-three percent and Turkey's forty-five percent, which indicates competitors in the field.
The head of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce's Mines and Minerals Commission said the gross mineral prices are among other problems in this sector, as the difference between global and day rates with what is charged, with one-year pay periods, has nothing to do with miners' losses.
He said that if the mining and mineral industries are developed, it will provide investment platform and will create employment, export expansion and exchange for the country.
Shakuri reminded that Mehdi Abad mine (Yazd) is the second largest lead and zinc reserve in the world, said: Consortium of private sector active in Mehdi Abad has over sixty five million tons of tailings in the past two years and is predicted The plant formed next to the mine will produce 200,000 tons of zinc in January next year.
