According to the International Iranian Stone Exhibition, Dr. Taghi Nabi announced the plans of the Ministry of Silence and the Supreme Council of Mines to help solve their problems during a ceremony on Thursday evening at the inauguration of the new building of the Zanjan Province Mining Engineering Organization. And studies show that some of these mines are inactive due to the monopoly of individuals.

The head of the Mining Engineering Organization of Iran, noting that the restrictions and deadlines provided for in the relevant law and regulations will be pursued more seriously in the new year, said: "Permits for people who do not work are proposed by the Ministry of Silence and approved by the council." The mines of the province or the High Council of Mines are confiscated under Article 20 of the Mining Law.

 Emphasizing that after this stage, it will be handed over immediately through auctions to applicants and people whose qualifications have already been checked and have technical and financial qualifications, he added: "It is not like giving multi-year deadlines and mining licenses for any reason." Many years without activity, valid.

The head of Iran's Mining Engineering Organization, emphasizing that we are not in charge of the rehabilitation plan, said: "We helped what was planned and started in the Ministry of Silence last year, and according to their plan, about 20% of these inactive mines To be revived in a period of one year (which of course ends in one or two months).

He added: "This project is making good progress in the first year because, especially in the field of information related to mines, there was a lack of information that information was collected in full."

 The official said that about 600 of these areas have been done by the mining engineering system for the production company that is implementing the mining rehabilitation project. "The relevant information is now complete and with meetings in the provinces with the help of the organization," he said. The mining engineering system and the representatives of the production company were held, some of the relevant problems were solved and they returned to the field of activity.

The head of the Iranian Mining Engineering Organization pointed out: The problems of some of them, which are relatively complex, need more time to solve each chapter.

 Emphasizing that the mine is preferable to the rangeland, he added: "This is also provided for in the laws, and our expectation from the officials of the natural resources protection department is that instead of answering the request for a mining permit, they should determine the protocol and The miners want a reconstruction project, not to shut down mining altogether.

The head of the Mining Engineering System Organization of Iran announced the formation of an interaction working group in the provinces to reduce problems between miners and natural resources and said: in this interaction group, representatives from the mining sector, the Mining Engineering System Organization, the Provincial Silence Organization and natural resources They have cases that need to be examined more closely by natural resources, and they are usually assisted in the province.

 He pointed out that, of course, the number of meetings of this working group may be small in some provinces, adding: "For this reason, the mining sector is also criticized for not holding the relevant meetings in a shorter schedule so that we can speed up the issuance of mining licenses."

The head of Iran's Mining Engineering Organization called Zanjan province one of the mining hubs of the country and added: "If we are going to strengthen the mining sector and develop mining, it should be one of the provinces that pays special attention to, especially in the licensing sector." Zanjan province.

Our discovered mineral reserves are running out

 The official further pointed to one of the major challenges of the country's mining sector and said: "The unfortunate challenge is that due to the volume and scope of mining activities that we have, our discovered mineral reserves are running out."

He stressed: "If we do not have new exploration projects and the assistance of agencies such as the environment and natural resources is not next to it, and the issuance of exploration permits is not done in proportion to the needs of the country, in the future the industry, industries and mines and a wide chain of Sub-industries will suffer.

The head of the Iranian Mining Engineering Organization, noting that our mineral reserves are responsible for a period of 15 to 25 years, added: "Therefore, we must start the exploration today and my request is that the officials of natural resources, pay special attention to this Have sections.

 He announced the amendment of the Mining Law and said: "In the Mines Review Committee, we will make the discussion of natural resources more transparent, so that the application of tastes in cities and provinces does not hinder the executive and economic activities of the mining sector."

Nabi continued by pointing out that the iron ore reserves with this amount of harvest and if no new exploration is done, it is less than 20 years, added: despite the fact that many iron ore consuming projects have been created and targeted in the country to grow 2 Equality in 10 years, but if we do not start exploring iron ore today, it will be challenged.

 He said that the amount of copper reserves is about 14 to 15 years, said: "Our copper reserves with this current volume of extraction, if new exploration does not start today, the volume of extracted reserves, up to 15 years is responsible."

Emphasizing that both copper and iron industries are considered as strategic and mother industries, the official added: "These strategic industries affect a large part of different manufacturing industries."

Mining is the first link in the production chain

The head of the Mining Engineering Organization of Iran, stating that if we want to consider the share of the mine in the employment sector directly and only mining activity in the mines, is not a significant number, said: But the mine is the first link in the production chain and if this link to any If there is a reason to be in trouble, the next circles, whose employment and economy depend on the first circle, will be in trouble.

He pointed to an example and added: "For example, 30% of the construction industry is directly construction materials and the materials of these construction materials are also supplied from minerals, which if the sand mines are closed, the entire development of the country will be closed."

 Nabi also referred to the concerns of the residents around the mines and their dissatisfaction and said: "Currently, there are articles in the law that 15% of the government salaries that are deposited in the treasury should be returned to develop the infrastructure of that city."

 The head of the Iranian Mining Engineering Organization, emphasizing that there is legal capacity but it has not been implemented properly and for this reason there are concerns, added: "In addition, in the discussion of rangeland and forest lands after rehabilitation, 15% of government rights Also, which is deposited directly in the treasury, it should be provided to the relevant centers and agencies for the restoration of pastures and reconstruction of that area, so that in the future it can be used as livestock grazing and other purposes of forestry discussion.

 "Unfortunately, we are always faced with the non-implementation or non-implementation of the laws and regulations in this area," he said. "Government rights go to the treasury and from there it must be returned to the relevant agencies, which will not return completely and as it should and may not."

 The head of Iran's Mining Engineering Organization promised that in the new amendment to the law, these cases will be seen more prominently.

Saying that the concerns of the people around the mines are also valid, Nabi added: "But in amending the new law, we will make the routes and percentages more transparent so that its implementation will be easier."

If it were not for the export of industries and mines last year, we would have had many problems

Referring to the issue of mineral exports and the impact of the corona on this market, he said: "Minerals were very imperceptibly less affected by the corona because it was in high capacity and was less involved with health issues and human factors."

The head of the Iranian Mining Engineering Organization called the export of the mining sector important and added: "The president said in one of the inaugural programs of the mining projects that if it were not for the export of the industrial and mining sector last year, we would have many problems."

  He also referred to the revenue from the export of mineral products and said: "It seems that we earned about five billion dollars directly from the export of mineral products, which is a significant figure compared to the previous year or all export parameters that we had last year." It is noteworthy.

According to Nabi, we have serious legal obstacles to the export of minerals, and various tariffs reduce the tendency of exporters to produce mineral products, as there are often heavy tariffs on mineral exports to support the domestic market.

 The head of the Iranian Mining Engineering System Organization, stating that we do not believe in exports, added: "We even believe that the mineral value chain can be completed in the country by using the technical power of engineering and knowledge that exists in academic complexes and in the engineering system."

 "By developing the mining industry and completing the mining value chain that begins with exploration, we can multiply the mining share of the economy," he said.

We know a serious solution to deal with the sale of raw materials in the development of the mining industry

Noting that we do not believe in selling raw materials, Nabi added: "We know a serious solution to deal with selling raw materials in the development of the mining industry, and the development of the mining industry is possible only with technical knowledge and the use of specialists."

The head of the Iranian Mining Engineering Organization, emphasizing that technical and engineering knowledge will increase by itself if it is decomposed, said: "With this trend, the desire to invest will increase, ultimately leading to the development of this sector, which is beneficial to the economy." 

He said that our mining has a very high investment attractiveness, adding: "This attractiveness is conditional on expert work on various laws, regulations, instructions and directives that are communicated by the devices, and in order to increase investment security in The mining sector should not be in order to reduce investment security.

The head of the Mining Engineering Organization of Iran, emphasizing the need to institutionalize the mining culture among the people, said: "We ask the media and radio and television to increase the mining culture and support investment in the mining sector, and we will help." To prepare appropriate cultural programs in this sector in order to minimize at least one of the problems of the mining sector, which are the opposition.

Nabi said: "Many of the opponents of the mining sector are local and it causes problems due to lack of familiarity with the laws and regulations."

The official reminded: in the new laws, if they are approved and announced, the conditions will be such that the areas that are under mining operations will benefit more from that mining activity.
