The importance of supporting small mines
Since the number of large mines in our country is not large and there are 12 in total, the government has to focus on the growth of small mines. Small mines are in dire need of government support and need to be given more attention in all areas, including taxes, exports and insurance.
According to the International Iranian Stone Exhibition, small and medium mines in our country are vulnerable. Among these, the most important problem in the mining sector and small mining industries is the unprofessional ownership of the government and the lack of support for small and medium-sized mining enterprises.
Due to the government's ownership of large mines, small mines have not received much attention and in fact a lot of negligence has been applied to them. Faced.
Financing as well as the inability to use new technologies in various sectors of exploration, extraction and processing in small mines are known as major problems. These mines require a lot of money to grow, develop and prosper, and often have difficulty financing. Another problem is the old and worn tools that have plagued small miners.
Due to sanctions and rising exchange rates, most mining operators have difficulty obtaining mining equipment and machinery. Another problem can be considered the weakness of the development of infrastructure required for this type of mines, including water supply and the development of the transportation fleet, which has created many problems for this part of the country's industry and production.
In the meantime, the most important strategy for the development of small mines is government support and creating attractiveness for investment in these mines. The government can support the development of small mines by facilitating financing and granting banking facilities, imposing tax exemptions, and attracting foreign investment.
Since the number of large mines in our country is not large and there are 12 in total, the government has to focus on the growth of small mines. Small mines are in dire need of government support and need to be given more attention in all areas, including taxes, exports and insurance.
We can also mention the need to form a small mining organization. Establishing an organization as a small mining organization such as Small Industries Organization, aligning environmental laws and natural resources, creating culture and familiarizing the rural community with the role of mining in the sustainable development of the country and coordinating large mining industries to support small and medium mining industries are other things that should be done. He paid attention to it.
