Managing Director of Iran Minerals Production and Production Company: The transfer of small active mines to companies and the private sector will be done in the form of ten or more complexes.
According to the International Exhibition of Iranian Stone, Vajihallah Jafari stated: "According to the order of the President and the Minister of Industry, Mines and Trade to activate small mines, we are looking to hand over these mines collectively."
He continued: "A complete set of mines, including exploration licenses, discovery certificates, active and passive exploitation licenses, is at the disposal of the Provincial Mining Industry and Trade Organization."
The CEO of Iran Minerals Production and Production Company added: "Such transfer of mines will provide easier planning for Mobarakeh Steel Company and other large companies."
He added: "Scientific work has been done in this field and it will be possible to transfer ten or twelve mines through auctions or stock exchanges, and a company like Mobarakeh Steel can take on this responsibility and the mines will be activated by legal transfer to this industrial complex."
Expressing happiness at the arrival of Mobarakeh Steel in the mining sector, Jafari expressed hope that the company's stone supply concerns would be resolved with the planning and assistance of the Iranian Minerals Production and Production Company.
He pointed out: Iran Minerals Production and Production Company has plans to facilitate the supply of Mobarakeh steel.
The CEO of Iran Minerals Production Company said: Mobarakeh Steel has promised to help activate Isfahan Steel and exchange pellets to activate the company's number one furnace.
He added: "If the promise of Mobarakeh Steel to help Zobahan is fulfilled, we will follow up and resolve the company's concerns about iron ore through other provinces."
Jafari added: "There should be a plan to meet the needs of Mobarakeh Steel for iron ore in a period of five or ten years, and then in the long run and as a permanent support."
He said that the transfer of some mines needs the approval of the Council of Ministers: "This happened to Chadormelo and some suggestions were made in this regard, and we can also suggest this for Mobarakeh Steel."
The CEO of Iran Minerals Production and Production Company continued by stating that the use of some mines requires more endurance: but definitely Mobarakeh Steel has the position to be supported by the Ministry and the government.
