Mahdiabad Mine Spell Broken

 

Katayon Maleki: Operations of the largest lead and zinc mine in Iran with the presence of Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh, Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade, Mehdi Karbassian, Chairman of the Executive Committee of IMIDRO, Jafar Sarqini, Deputy Minister of Mining and Mining Affairs of the Ministry of Industry, Mining and Trade,

Mohammad Reza Bahraman, Head of Iran Mining Department, Ayatollah Mohammad Reza Naseri, Imam Jomeh, Yazd Province, Seyed Mohammad Mir Mohammadi, Governor of Yazd and Mohammad Reza Alamdar Yazdi, head of the Industrial, Mining and Trade Organization of Yazd province. The start of the mining operation was one of the steps that the chairman of IMIDRO's office had promised to start at the eleventh government. The construction of processing plants with a capacity of 800 thousand tons of zinc concentrate and 80 thousand tons of lead and silver concentrates and 180 million tons of operations before putting off in the first four years is one of the main goals of the project, which is stated in the contract. Exploiting the lead and zinc mine of Mahdi Abad plays a very important role in providing feedstock for lead and zinc industries. The private sector, the Iranian consortium consisting of the Mobin Mining Company, the Kahnerba Engineering Company, the Iranian Lead and Zinc Corporation, Meshkani Copper Company, Searmak Mining Company and Arya South Iranian Company, are the winner of the call for investment in the mine.

The attention of the country's big officials to the mine

Minister of Industry, Mines and Trade commenced in the beginning of the mining operation and the construction of lead and zinc factories in Mahdiabad, one of the goals emphasized by the Supreme Leader and the President is the attention paid to the mine. Engineer Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh continued: "We presented a report to them on 2 occasions and in person. In fact, we reported in person and in writing, the report of the private sector actors, the government, consultants, contractors, the geological organization and mineral exploration of the country in the field of mining because they were worried about why we are in the mining sector behind us. Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh, referring to the actions taken in previous years in the government of Tadbir and Omid, stated: "All the discoveries made until the beginning of the government were about 160 thousand kilometers linear and hopeful, but by the end of last year, and in the eleventh state of 450 thousand linear kilometers Done. Of course, part of the work has been done by the Organization for the Development and Renewal of Mining and Mining Industries of Iran (IMIDRO). He continued: Exploration of about 200,000 square kilometers of land was under the control of IMIDRO, some of which were briefed to friends. Nematzadeh added: "We also defined more than 100 areas in the country, and we invite domestic and foreign investors for these exploratory studies. Fortunately, more than two-thirds of these negotiations and announcements of readiness have led to the conclusion and start of activity. Became Now we are working almost all over the land of Iran.

Understanding with Atomic Energy for Common Exploration

He said: "We have been negotiating with some specialized agencies, such as atomic energy, which had sheltered many areas of the country under the pretext of extraction of uranium, and that we were deprived of many of these areas, and that these discoveries are supposed to be jointly carried out." Engineer Nematzadeh continued: IMIDRO's organization, together with the Atomic Energy Organization and another part, together with the Geological Survey of Iran and the country's mineral exploration, were able to continue exploration. Of course, these activities did not have much to do with exterior, because the discoveries were timeless and, without full information, investment in The mine will be very expensive and costly. As a result, there must be information available to the investor to know where and how much he can invest. According to the Minister of Industry, Mining and Trade, Fortunately, the Mahdi Abad has a long history, but the main reservoir has been surrendered since the last three months.

 Predict more stocks

Nematzadeh said: "The actual reserves of this mine are expected to exceed the level that has been identified to date, so at the same time as the extraction of the mine, additional exploration will be done by friends, so that we can make the most of the reserves." He added: "There were many projects in mining or in the mineral industry that were stopped or half-closed, but we were able to get help and invite the private sector to participate or even assign all work to them in line with government policies , Provide their field of activity.

Investing with the aim of export-oriented

The Minister of Industry, Mines and Trade said: "If we are looking for exports, we will have no choice but to invest in exports and export markets at a large scale." "Some people say that many of our capacities are empty, we must say that the Iranian export industries are working at full capacity, but there are exceptions like cement. In the area of ​​cement due to the region's conditions and insecurity, the construction and eventually cement exports have decreased. In the area of ​​ceramic tile, due to the situation in the region and the recession in the housing sector, we see less activity than unit capacity. We hope that with the withdrawal of housing from the recession, work will continue in this area, but alongside it for the area of ​​ceramic tile, export and finding new export markets are recommended. Last year, about 4.8 million tons of steel were exported, and exports scheduled for this year are 6 to 7 million tons, Nematzada said. Steel can be turned into sheets, and galvanized with zinc produced in this set, and finally galvanized sheet. You can even turn the galvanized sheet into cars or household appliances and export them. In fact, we should go to the depths of the industry and create value added because at this time one person will be employed in the mine of 20 others in different places. Minister of Industry, Mining and Trade, saying that mining is a yeast of industrial development in the country, said: "We must know the magnitude of the mine and take all that we have, with full accuracy and with respect to environmental issues, safety and technical issues." I believe that even one ton of rock "Zn" should not be left in the ground. In fact, the harvest must be such that we can use all of the country's anomalous and metallic mines such as the lead and zinc mine of Mahdiabad. The Minister of Industry, Mining and Trade of Yazd province, the steel and steel production company Sarmed Abarkuh, was inaugurated with his presence and provincial officials. In this production unit, the rebar is manufactured in the form of a single-carbon carbon steel coil or branch with a capacity of 300 thousand tons and a simple fitting of carbon steel and low alloy steel in a capacity of 150 thousand tons, and annually in total production capacity 450 thousand tons of product with usability in structures.

Private sector is working in Mahdiabad

The chairman of the IMIDRO Agency stated that the ministry of industry, mining and commerce and the Iran Mining and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organization (IMIDRO) is proud of the implementation of the project that has been in existence since many years ago, in the beginning of the mining operation and the construction of the lead and zinc factories in the city of Mahdi Abad. With the help of the private sector, with management and management. Mehdi Karbasiyan stated: "The mine was discovered in the general sense of the 30's and its deposits were discovered in the 50's with nearly 60,000 meters of drilling." Since then, good efforts have been made to launch the mine. Even foreign companies from the lead and zinc mine of Mahdi Abad were present, but did not operate for various reasons. He continued: At the beginning of the government, Haddad also tried to activate the previous shareholders, but that did not happen. As a result, with the holding of an international auction, a credible consortium that started operations at the mine was won. The head of the mission said, "It's going to be the operation of the mine and the factory in four years, and more than a thousand people and the noble youth of the area will come directly into the work." "The number of mines in the world, in particular open pit mines, is declining," Karbassian said, referring to the world's largest mining pit and zinc, Mahdi Abad. Today, in the world, activities for harvesting mineral deposits have gone deep into the seas and mines with a few thousand meters deep.

According to Karbassian, Iran, thanks to the grace of God, is one of the world's foremost countries that still has a place to explore. In the meantime, it is possible to mention the Mahdi Abad mine with a reserve of 21 million tons of Zn content. The chairman of the board of directors, IMIDRO, stated that the reserve in the Mahdi mine is one of the essential needs of the country, said: "Now there are about 420 thousand tons of zinc ingot production in the country, which provides a large amount of their needs for raw materials from the lead and zinc ingot . While the Anguran mine reserves are one of the most valuable mines in the world, it is expected that stocks will end in the next 10 years. The launch of the Mahdi Abad lead and zinc mine causes the concern of zinc producers to quench 420,000 tons of zinc ingots in the country to supply raw materials. According to him, one of the important points is that the private sector should be involved in mining projects, since one of the essential elements in implementing Article 44 is to have an ownership and real investment. Fortunately, this happened in the lead and zinc mine of Mahdiabad. Also, the use of new technologies should be taken into account so that they do not enter the environment. Karbassian stated: "Without a doubt, the launch of the Mahdi Abad lead and zinc mine and the production of zinc ingots will be effective in the country's export sector, because zinc metal is not present anywhere in the world. Referring to the importance of exploration, he added, "One of the good things done at IMIDRO is to conduct mineral exploration on 250,000 square kilometers in the country because of the discovery, the start of employment, production and development." We promise to have other valuable mines in Yazd province. According to Karbasian, last year, IMIDRO's organization added 400 million tons of iron ore, 400 million tons of coal and about 40 tons of gold to the country's reserves, and it can be said that these measures have been in the strength of the economy. He added that many years before the Islamic Revolution, the Atomic Energy Organization in Yazd province had carried out exploratory work. One of the other honors is that it has signed an agreement with the Atomic Energy Agency and has been able to use its information and background over the past 70 to 80 years. We also found valuable reserves in this area. Typically, in the area of ​​rare earths, the amount of reserves was predicted to be ahead of the eleventh state of 300,000. We got these reserves in the last 4 years to 1 million and 200 thousand tons, the main part of which is in Yazd province. Karbasiyan said: "The lead and zinc mine of Mahdi Abad is the beginning of a development work, and with the establishment of the processing plant and the plant concentrates, develops and occupies. He said that one of the world's advanced countries in 2015 had $ 78 billion in mining and extraction, with $ 640 billion in processing area and $ 2,400 billion in downstream. Amidra, chairman of the board of directors, said: "IMIDRO at the beginning of his 11th year with 24 trillion Rumanes did not have a semi-final project, while the property of the organization was also forgiven, but with all the problems that existed, 73 projects were defined. Some of them are exploited and the beginning of operations in the Mahdi Abad mine is one of the most important ones. In fact, a good context for the development and leap of labor is delivered to the twelfth government.

Operation of the first phase in 1998

The director of the Mahdi Abad Mining Complex, on the sidelines of the start of mining operations and the construction of lead and zinc factories in Mahdi Abad, said: "The winner of the auctions, after the contract was announced, started to equip the mine workshop this April, in which the machinery needed to Mining annually deployed 30 million tons of mine in the mine and carried out mine preparation activities to prepare mine operations and the construction of processing factories. Mehdi Safari added: "The first year in this contract is called the" Advanced Course "for conducting engineering studies of factories and obtaining licenses for the transport of infrastructure, while simultaneous pre-commissioning operations are being carried out. It is also planned to build processing plants within 3 years. According to him, according to the contract, the investor must take 4 years to build the factories. According to the plans provided by the investor, if the infrastructure is completed and provided, the first phase of the factories will be operational by the beginning of the year 98, and after 2 years we will see 200 thousand tons of Zinc concentrate in this complex. Director of the Mahdi Abad Mining Complex stated that the capacity of the factories' production, with the full set-up of the phases of the project, would be 800,000 metric tons of concentrate at least 35% annually as the main product. The production of lead-silver concentrate is a by-product and the duration of the contract is 24 years and renewable.

Taking out 1 million and 200 thousand tons of mine

Head of the Mining and Mineral Industries Commission of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce said in the beginning of the mining operation and the construction of lead and zinc factories in Mahdiabad, Iran has 3 percent of Zinc production to one of the top 10 countries in terms of Zn reserves The world will become the next decade. Bahram Shakouri stated: "By December, 97, 200 thousand tons of concentrate" Zn "is produced. The machinery was also installed in the mine in the first month after the contract was announced. There are currently 180 people involved in the project, which will double by the end of the year. He added that the lead and zinc mine of Mahdi Abad has 154 million tons of minerals with average 6 percent zinc, 2 percent lead and 35.3 percent grams of silver. According to Shakuri, late last year the investment contract was signed at the mine and it was announced on April 26th. To this day, about 1 million and 200 thousand tons have been released. He continued: In the past three months, the consortium has won a bid for the Mahdi Abad mine. More than 10,000 pages of project feasibility and … have been collected and project management has been deployed in this great project. "In recent years, demand for Zinc has grown in the world, and the supply of this product has declined," said Shakuri, referring to the global situation. On the other hand, reserves in the world are also declining, and in the last 10 years no new reserves have been added to world reserves. As a result, by 2025, we will see a "chat" between supply and demand. For this reason, there is a perspective on the product, and good investment in this field can be made.

Identification of 5 million tons of mineral deposits in Yazd province

Yazd governor of Yazd said that the mineral deposits of this province are 1.2 billion tons, of which 5 million tons have been identified.

Seyyed Mohammad Mir Mohammadi added that Yazd is the second most minable province in the country, and that the government has taken serious steps in the government and in the hope of dealing with the situation of mines. He continued: "With serious follow-ups, officials have begun mining operations and the construction of lead and zinc factories in Mahdiabad Bahadoran in recent years as the second largest reservoir of lead and zinc in the world. According to the governor of Yazd, the launch of large mines such as lead and zinc in Mahdiabad, Yazd province, has an important role in the development and creation of productive and useful employment, directly and indirectly. Miriammadi referred to the capacities of Yazd province in various aspects, especially its globalization, as well as the existence of the airport and its convenient routes of access and position in the country, and considered it an opportunity for investment.
