]]> TEHRAN (Iran News) – Based on the mentioned data, during the mentioned period, production of crude steel and steel products, copper cathode, aluminum ingot, coal concentrate, glass containers, and cement increased compared to the same period in 1398.
According to the Industry Mining, and Trade Ministry, the mining sector accounted for 25 percent of the country’s non-oil revenues in the Iranian calendar year 1398.
Iran is one of the top 10 mineral-rich countries in the world in which 68 types of minerals have been identified so far, including the world’s largest deposits of copper, zinc, and iron; so there are numerous large, medium, and small-sized mines across the country that are being operated by the government or the private sector.
So, the country has set a new target for further development of its mining sector as the country’s economy is moving away from oil toward becoming oil-independent.
Head of the explorations department of the Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organization (IMIDRO) has announced the identification of 1,700 new promising mineral zones across the country.
According to Ali Asgharzadeh, the mentioned regions cover a total area of 110,080 square kilometers.
The official noted that IMIDRO carried out reconnaissance and prospecting operations on over 478,343 square kilometers of land during the previous Iranian calendar year, of which 66,000 square kilometers have been handed over to the private sector to be explored.
Noting that the necessary licenses for exploration must be issued for IMIDRO by the Industry, Mining and Trade Departments of the provinces in which the mines are located, Asqarzadeh said: “So far, IMIDRO has applied for exploration licenses for 492 regions with an area of 32,120 square kilometers.”
“Some 63 exploration licenses for various minerals such as lead and zinc, gold, copper, iron, coal, brine, etc. have been issued for IMIDRO and its subsidiaries, and exploration operations are being pursued in licensed areas,” he said.
“Also, licensing processes are underway for 30 zones, and discovery certificates have been issued for four regions,” he added.
Back in May 2020, the Iranian Industry, Mining, and Trade Ministry had signed a trilateral memorandum of understanding (MOU) with IMIDRO and the Geological Survey and Mineral Explorations of Iran (GSI) for expansion of the country’s mining sector.
Development of cooperation in the fields of exploration, extraction, and processing of minerals, utilization of capacities, experiences, and abilities of each sector, and attracting more investment from the country’s private sector and cooperatives in this industry were some of the main goals of the signed agreement.

]]> TEHRAN (Iran News) – An Iranian official said the export of mineral products from the country’s southeastern port of Chabahar has increased constantly over the past year.

The deputy director of the Ports and Maritime Organization of Iran in the southeastern province of Sistan and Balouchestan told reporters on Sunday that the export of mineral products from the port city of Chabahar has been rising since the beginning of the current Iranian year, which is ending on March 19.

Hossein Shahdadi also noted that shipments of mineral products, construction materials, agricultural products, and bitumen have been exported from Chabahar for the first time this year.

He also highlighted the advantages of Chabahar, saying the Iranian port city is equipped with strategic loading and unloading equipment, offers special discounts on customs duty and port charges, and provides regular shipping routes for various destinations.

The official said a consignment of mineral products weighing 50,000 tons was shipped to the export markets from Chabahar last week.

“Considering the premium position of the country’s biggest ocean port among the regional ports, exports via Chabahar will be the top priority in the new year,” Shahdadi added.

Chabahar is the closest and best access point of Iran to the Indian Ocean and Iran has devised serious plans to turn it into a transit hub for immediate access to markets in the northern part of the Indian Ocean and Central Asia.

It aims to create a reliable transport corridor for the smooth transport and transit of goods and services through Chabahar Port between Afghanistan, India, and Iran.
