State law calculates smart minerals
The Ministry of Industry's clever way of calculating government mineral rights is on the agenda of this year's Ministry of Industry, the ways of which have been examined.
According to Iran International Stone Exhibition, the meeting was attended by Dariush Ismaili, Deputy Minister of Mines and Mining Industries, Head of Mining Engineering System Organization, General Managers of Mines Operations Office and Mines Supervision Office and Head of Exploration Office at the Ministry of Industry.
Ismaili said in a meeting on how to calculate government mineral rights intelligently: "This project is part of the Ministry of Industry's efforts to improve the business environment related to industry, mining and trade in the year of the leap of operational production."
According to the report, it was previously announced that 70 percent of the state's mining rights were in Yazd and Kerman provinces, and the remaining 30 percent were in other provinces.
Jafar Sarghini (former Deputy Minister of Industry) said: "Government salaries obtained from various mines in the provinces of the country are not satisfactory and are very insignificant. In the past, the revenue attitude to government rights was not mines and this issue is pursued more to regulate mines." But this debate has changed today.
In May of this year, Dariush Ismaili, Deputy Minister of Mines and Mining Industries, announced: Last year, 1,800 tomans and 1 billion tomans of government salaries were collected from active mines.
The latest figures from the Ministry of Industry show that there are 5,600 active mines in the country, of which 4,110 million tons were mined last year.
