Moradi continued: this number with an investment volume of 863 billion and 535 million Tomans and employment of 3,500 people has a 37% share of the province's industrial units.
He said: "The construction of new mineral processing projects called hydrated lime and calcium carbonate industries in gypsum industries is under construction by the private sector, which has made good physical progress."
The head of the Mines Department of the Bushehr Province Industry, Mining and Trade Organization stated: Considering that most of Bushehr's minerals are exported to the Persian Gulf countries, the lack of necessary infrastructure for mineral exports, especially wharves and specialized export terminals, is another issue in this sector. Is a province.

Moradi announced: Exploratory studies of Gostars Organization and Mining and Mineral Industries Renovation (Imidro), Geological Survey and Mineral Exploration Organization of the country and the private sector have led to the discovery of 3 new mineral groups in the province. The mineral bitumen is promising at the stage of issuing the certificate of discovery and phosphate minerals and 9 exploration zones of rare earth elements in the stage of determining the areas.
He added: "Due to the lack of mineral exploration studies in the province to identify mineral potentials, development and exploration of new mineral zones by development organizations, especially the Geological Survey of Iran and Imidro is necessary."
