West Azerbaijan suffers from a lack of conversion and downstream industries in the mining sector
Although the people's representative of Takab, Shahin Dodge and the governor complained about the deprivation and backwardness of the city, the deputy governor of West Azerbaijan believes that basic steps have been taken to eliminate Takab's deprivation.
Aidin Rahmani stated that thirty-one low-income cities have been selected in the country and as a pilot, development measures are to be taken in one city from each province, noting that Takab has been selected as a target city for development from West Azerbaijan province. At present, good development measures have started in this city.
He said that one of the most important reasons for not benefiting from the capacity of Takab gold mines in the economic prosperity of the city is the sale of raw materials and the lack of downstream industries and added: "Unfortunately, despite the high capacity in the mines sector suffers from lack of conversion, processing and downstream industries." This is more evident in Takab because of the gold mines.
Rahmani said that due to the export of minerals extracted from Takab mines, it will not be given raw value to other provinces in its raw form, adding that the city and the province will not be able to compensate for this issue. We have consulted to receive part of their sales revenue in various ways, especially by creating bank accounts within the province.

Parisa Abedpour mentioned Takab and West Azerbaijan mines as a unique capacity in the field of prosperity to the region's economy and added: "Unfortunately, in recent years, due to the stagnation of the construction sector in the country and the province, administrative bureaucracies We have not been able to make good use of this capacity.
He continued by stating that in Takab gold mines, extraction has been done in the form of "ore stone" and there are extraction processing units in the form of concentrate and ingots. Connection to the power grid, lack of processing units to take advantage of the added value of processed minerals, opposition and barriers created by some government agencies, and local restrictions are among the most important problems in this sector.
Abedpour announced the annual extraction of six hundred and sixty thousand tons of gold ore from Aq Darreh mine and three hundred and seventy-five thousand tons of armored mines and said: Takab "Zarshuran" gold mine is the largest gold mine in the Middle East, which is 30% of the reserves. The country's gold lies in it, and currently about seven hundred people are working in this mine and its gold factory.
The Deputy Minister of Mining of West Azerbaijan Industry, Mining and Trade Organization, referring to the implementation of the 40-hectare development plan last year at the Zarshuran Takab gold mine, added: Is a follow-up.
Referring to the geographical conditions of the province and its impact, he said: "Climatic and climatic conditions in this province have caused many mines in the province to be unable to operate for three to four months of the year due to rain and cold weather, and modernization of mining machinery." Improving the performance of mines is one of the needs.
The city of Takab, with its rich resources of gold and decorative and precious stones, does not have any of the development indicators and it is hoped that with the development program to eliminate the deprivation of the face of thirty-one less privileged cities of the country, Takab will get rid of historical backwardness.
