Deputy Minister of Geology and Mineral Exploration: According to the roadmap of the Mining and Mining Industries, all government affairs related to exploration are done by this organization, and parallel work in this regard is contrary to the provisions of the roadmap.

According to the International Stone Exhibition of Iran, "Mohammad Baqer Dori" stated: According to the provisions of the roadmap of Iran's Mining and Mining Industries, which was approved by the Industries and Mines Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly in 1397, all governance affairs related to exploration are among the steps. Identification and tracking is done only by the Geological Survey and Mineral Exploration.

He added: "According to the roadmap, all information and data obtained from exploration and tracking activities will be made available to the public online and without receiving any money, and these activities will be carried out for other deputies or companies affiliated with the Ministry." Industry such as Imidro, Iran Minerals Production and Production Company, etc. is prohibited.

Dori added: "The country's Geological Survey and Mineral Exploration Organization, except in cases where it is done by concluding a contract with the private sector, Imidro, etc., allows entry into public exploration (the steps after identification and follow-up)." does not have. At the same time, the Minister of Industry will determine the exceptions in this regard on a case-by-case basis.

He explained that the private sector can carry out exploration steps from the beginning to the end after the legal process has been completed.

Earlier, Khodadad Gharibpour, Deputy Minister of Industry and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Imidro, announced that the exploration activity is one of the programs of the Organization for Development and Renovation of Mines and Mining Industries of Iran (Imidro) and by 1397 up to two hundred and fifty thousand square kilometers. The organization, in coordination with the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade, the Organization of Geology and Mineral Exploration, and other pillars of this field, carried out exploration activities.

He had said that since the second half of 1397, with the addition of four hundred thousand square kilometers, the new level of exploration has now reached six hundred and fifty thousand square kilometers.

This year's excavation program is one hundred and fifty thousand meters

 Dari said about this year's program of the Geological Survey and Mineral Exploration Organization: "Reaching the excavation of one hundred and fifty thousand meters to identify the hopeful areas of the mine is the organization's plan and is designed as a goal of production jump."

He added: "This year's program is increasing compared to last year and will grow by 50,000 meters, and in addition, it will be 100,000 meters more than in 1397."

Preparation of maps of one thousand five thousand

According to the deputy director of exploration of the Geological Survey, the preparation of applied geological maps at the scale of one thousand five thousand this year is planned at four hundred and fifty kilometers, which will increase by two hundred kilometers compared to last year. The mine will be dismantled.

He added: "Three hundred kilometers of linear maps are to be prepared this year, which will be a threefold increase compared to the performance of 1397, which was predicted to be 100 kilometers."

One hundred thousandth geochemical map program

Dari Babian said that one of the planned axes this year is the preparation of geochemical and hydrogeochemical exploration maps at a scale of one hundred thousandths.
