Involvement of the private sector in exploration operations in the exploration license stage and the preparation of exploration methods and guidelines for exploratory investment, updating exploration strategy using new technologies, maintaining comprehensive specialized mineral laboratories and preventing currency outflows are among other things for exploratory growth this year.

According to the International Stone Exhibition of Iran, this year the focus is on the Earth Sciences Research Institute, which can produce new wealth through free access to information generated throughout the country in the field of geology and mining, information production, required and practical base, discovery of new reserves. He noted the development of mines and the encouragement of investment in exploration and support services.

Another focus of the Geological Survey is to prevent the loss of capital by accurately identifying geological hazards. Understanding the full potential of the Earth Sciences in the field of land management and providing solutions to reduce the high risk of natural hazards, as well as paying attention to climate change and highlighting the role of studies related to Earth Sciences in reducing the effects of climate change on various ecosystems. Is.

The proposed program of the Earth Sciences Research Institute in the field of mineral exploration on issues such as information production, database and preparation of a suitable platform for systematic exploration through the preparation of applied maps and determination of mineralization models based on different types of mineralization, development of exploration depth. And identifying the type of mineral, processing and interpreting the data of aerospace geophysics produced in the country and combining it with other layers of information to make the data more practical for exploration of mines, oil and groundwater, handing over certificates and exploration licenses to the private sector The applicant is based on an auction.

Involvement of the private sector in exploration operations in the exploration license stage and the preparation of exploration methods and guidelines for exploratory investment, updating exploration strategy using new technologies, maintaining comprehensive specialized mineral laboratories and preventing currency outflows are among other things for exploratory growth this year. .

To achieve this goal, other issues must be identified and the future needs of the country's industries for minerals and macro planning for their exploration, special attention to the exploration of rare earth elements and strategic elements, attention to job creation and development in deprived areas through identification and search for materials. Mining considered precious and semi-precious minerals and the direction of mineral investment.
