The salary is calculated because only self-declaration is done in this procedure, while the mine is an economic opportunity to complete the production chain and stop selling raw minerals.
Pejmanfar added: "Currently, ingot factories with 17,000 workers are in danger of closing down. On the other hand, sponge iron is exported from the country, or rolling mills have been shut down and ingots are exported from the other side of the country. Weakness of related laws.
