According to the International Iranian Stone Exhibition, Qazvin province, despite mines with high potential and reserves, diversity of minerals and access to the country's communication highways, has a prominent role in supplying mineral raw materials for many glass, ceramic tile, cement and cement production units. Lime plays the neighboring provinces and the country.

Strengthening this area can greatly contribute to job creation and economic dynamism in the region. For example, the lower Tarom region of Qazvin is one of the valuable mineral resources in the country that has high potential in the field of minerals such as lead, zinc and copper.

In April of this year, the cathode copper industry unit of this region with an annual production capacity of 10,000 tons of copper with a private sector investment of 265 billion Tomans was inaugurated by order of the President.

By exploiting this project, 450 people were directly employed and 2,000 people were indirectly employed, which shows the importance of strengthening the mining area in Qazvin province.

Other regions of the province, such as Avaj, Buin Zahra and Takestan, also have these capacities, and paying attention to them plays an effective role in creating jobs and increasing the economic indicators of the province and the country.

So far, 200 mining licenses have been issued in Qazvin province, of which only 50% have been activated, and the revitalization and activation of mines in Qazvin province can lead to the completion of the production chain in the province.

Regarding this issue, the IRNA correspondent has arranged an interview with Taghi Nabi, the head of the Qazvin Province Mining Engineering Organization, to find out about both the province's mining capacities and the organization's plans for the year of production, support and dismantling.

 What is the position of Qazvin province in the production of minerals in the country?

Qazvin province with an area and population of about one percent of the area and population of the country due to being located in an area with industrial and civil development and thanks to the efforts of activists and officials in the field of mining and mining industries, won a special place in the mining sector The country has been.

Production of more than 14 million tons of minerals - which is more than three percent of the country's mineral production per year - and the benefit of 2.5 billion tons of discovered minerals (more than 2 percent of the country's total discovered reserves) of capacity Is the province's mining production chain.

Qazvin has always been in the first to third place in the country in the production of silica minerals and industrial soil and is responsible for a significant part of the supply of the mentioned raw materials in various industries of glass, tiles, various types of sanitary ware and tableware.

Annual production of more than 2 million tons of alluvial and mountain sand with the standard of the day and meeting the needs of the civil sector of Qazvin province and part of the needs of Gilan and Alborz provinces, the privileged position of this part of the province's mine occurs.

 Qazvin province provides what percentage of the country's needs in the mining industry and what is its position in this regard?

In the field of mineral industries, Qazvin province, with the production of more than 25% of the country's tiles, ranks second in the country, in the production of glass and flute glass also ranks second, and in the production of pharmaceutical glass and glassware, this valuable position is due to Ghana and The activity of the mines is industrial soil and silica.

 Cement factories around the province, such as Caspian Cement, Hegmatan Cement, Saveh Cement, Abik Cement and Khodabandeh Cement, supply a significant part of their quality and complementary raw materials including limestone, gypsum, iron ore and pozzolan from the mines of Qazvin province. they do.

During the last decade, Qazvin province, with the realization of new discoveries and revitalization of abandoned mines, in the production of magnetite iron ore and its concentrate with export grade, lead and zinc ore and their sulfide concentrate and also the production of cathode copper has a special place in the production of iron ore and base metals. has found.

Completion of the production chain of oxidized copper ore and production of cathode copper with a capacity of 10,000 tons per year in Tarom Copper Complex is evidence of the serious growth of the base metal production index in the province.

 Considering these capacities, what are the plans of the provincial engineering system organization in 1400 in order to fulfill the slogan of the year?

The province's mining engineering system organization will anticipate and implement effective programs in order to achieve the goals of this slogan in the year that has been named as "production, support and dismantling".

In order to increase the productivity of production units of mines and mining industries, technical and engineering support of mining plans and projects, including exploration, extraction and processing of minerals through quality training of members and technical supervision of their performance in all areas of design and implementation More than in previous years, projects have been included at the top of the agenda, so that practical and up-to-date training with emphasis on practical training is considered.

 Reducing the bureaucracy of the internal affairs of the organization and doing it optimally by spending the least amount of time requested by the client is one of our other programs this year, which will be achieved by using the power of the management and expertise of the organization and smart organizational tools.

Also, assistance and participation to the province's Industry, Mining and Trade Organization in the optimal implementation of programs related to the realization of the slogan of the year, especially in counting the obstacles and challenges facing production and proposing effective solutions to eliminate them is on the agenda.

Providing technical and economic consulting services to activists and those interested in working in the mining sector and encouraging investment in projects with technical and economic justification, holding specialized seminars and meetings, as well as exhibitions of achievements and new technologies in the mining sector and planning And we are interested in implementing several cultural and educational projects to promote the culture of mining and help strengthen investment security in this area.

Also, the study of investment opportunities in the mining sector and the mining industry of the province and the preparation of investment packages to provide to interested parties and applicants for productive and sustainable investments in this field in the year of production, support and dismantling will be implemented.
