orbital car battery with 20 months sepahan battery warranty. the meeting of the first page, the meeting of the first page, isar is there. look on the other side of the fence, the pleasure of visiting is there. you are sitting in the first row. on the other side of the table, the eyes of a martyr are on you. in the name

of allah, the most merciful, the most merciful. hello, dear compatriots . welcome to the first page program. in this program, according to the routine of another servant of the iranian nation , they will be in front of the camera to talk about policies, strategies and of course decisions that can be effective in the progress of the country, but tonight about the ministry of mining industry and trade, of course, the mining sector. which is one of the country's great reserves and can be the basis for the country's growth and development. in this context , i am having a conversation with mr. reza mohtashmipour, deputy minister of mines and materials products of the ministry of industry, mining and trade. welcome to the front page. thank you very much. stay healthy. i am at your service, people. hello, i am serving all people. you're welcome. it seems that mines in the country

can be one of the main drivers of development and can play a big role in the gdp. now, how is our situation in the field of mining ? let me tell you, see the mines of the country today they supply the needs of our industries. in the mining sector of the country, where our total export is less than one and a half percent of our production, that is, nearly 98 and a half percent of what we produce is used to meet the needs of our existing units. especially in base metals , we are an important supplier in the world and we are among the countries that produce metals. perhaps it should be said that this

is one of the characteristics of iran's economy that we were able to use our natural and industrial capacities to develop technology . we had problems in the past, but today we are developing in a large part with iranian technology in the processing of materials . this has given us the ability to enter any country we want to enter . extraction is also exploration and extraction in its own place, processing in its own place may be a more complicated part of this puzzle. yes, we

are of course facing serious limitations. after all, countries with technology usually do not want to be transferred, but this is the occurrence of these pressures and these restrictions is the cause it has been developed and thank god, today in the mining sector of the country, we are witnessing that we had a good development in the technology sector, in addition to the fact that our mines are the basis of the development of our industry, some statistics indicate that we export approximately 7.5 million tons annually. we have, and this is maybe one and a half percent of our extraction. exactly how much production do we have now? that is, we harvest from the materials. we have about 620 million tons of production of all kinds of minerals in the country.

we reached this number and the reason was actually a defect that was created in the country's customs process, that is the government imposed tariffs on raw materials and the export of some raw goods due to the fact that now the import of food was stopped for further investigation and after some time these were re-confirmed. we had the raw materials from the country , but as you mentioned, this is about one and a half percent of our production . manufacturer of raw materials and minerals in what fields are we mostly exporters we are minerals, if we want to look at the value

, our main exports are in the mineral products sector, i.e. the steel that we export, about 25% of what we export is related to the mineral industry group . we have less than one billion dollars in exports of minerals, a similar ratio, that is, we are about 8 billion dollars, if i am not mistaken , about 8 billion dollars last year. it is not matter itself raw mineral and this is one of our strengths and power

, which is actually gaining a place in the national economy as a supplier of the mining sector . mining information is usually requested in two layers in the country. the first aspect is whether we have the mineral and geological information of the country. the answer is yes, we have been producing mineral information for many years . maps of 20,500 countries. 100,000 countries have already produced and many of the mineral deposits that you now have you can see its activity in the country , you can see from these maps, that is , these have been produced for years and these are available in the form of maps

and in the form of various reports . information on individual mining areas in addition to geographic information. the information on the amount of production , the information of the so-called operator, the information on the consumption of inputs such as fuel and the like are recorded in this system. well, this system was created in the past years. in fact, it was very important that the information outside this system is not recorded anywhere, so that the information concentration is created in the system. and this is the basis , well, that's why the quality of information in this system has become much higher. in addition, some improvements that were made systematically, such as the electronicization of the calculation of government salaries, allowed this system to become a basic system in the country in the sector. may the mine be transformed. yes, today, alhamdulillah, our information

in the mining sector can be said to be at a great distance compared to, for example, a year and a half ago, and the information that we have today is reliable. not the demarcation issue that was done maybe a year or two ago, what was added was additional information. like the production information, our so-called exploitation information, well, there were some defects , maybe a year and a half ago, when we entered on this topic, i only remember that we found something close to more than 2 thousand mineral areas,

which are exploitation information. it is not at all clear who has taken advantage of all these files, have they been completed, or sometimes, for example, the file of a mining area that had to be auctioned, it was registered in another layer for a long time. this is back, this has been corrected, and just as you yourself have already found this issue in the same program. it happened, we held 11,000 auctions in less than a year, and this process is continuing now, based on the follow-ups that have been done, based on the available information , of course, we still have a lot to work on, which means we have a lot more to go. the way we have traveled so far, but it is in a much better condition than in the past, is it exploration? and the exploration of mineral deposits is also within the scope of your deputy's duties

, exploration of mines in two, in fact, two government departments it is done privately. we now have something like 4,000 exploratory licenses in the country, that is , exploratory operations that have permission to operate. out of these 4,000 , i think there are about 130 government licenses, that is, related to development organizations and renovation of iran 's mines, as well as mawghi geological organization , there are permits that are being worked by companies and natural and legal persons, that is, the private sector in terms of percentage , such a ratio is partly done by the government. not above, our organizations, the agencies assigned in the department the governance is such that the basic information and

the general information that we need in the mining sector is produced by the geological and mineral exploration organization. to the supplementary work and actually reaching a definite result by the development organization. mines are working, which is a continuous process, and even now we are involved in many areas of both these organizations . supervision and this rights discussion activity. you understand the government from the mines, how is our situation now , how much has the government been able

to collect from the rights that the government should have received from mining, if you take a look at the trend of the past few years, the trend has been an increasing trend, and it has increased at a high speed. this means that in the last two years, we had two increases of nearly 100%, that is, from approximately 7,000 billion tomans in 2019, today we are estimated to be around 40,000 billion tomans. second day the information is sometimes incomplete or, for example, the price

of minerals is unrealistic or fixed for many years.

this work was first done as an executive example in razavi khorasan province, after it was diagnosed, the defects and problems that sometimes appeared in the implementation were identified and a solution was thought of. the action became national , it was announced, and with the help of friends who have the experience of doing this work in the province, now that we are at your service, we have now started drone mapping in the whole country , part of their drone mapping mines are being done, this mapping is allowed. gives that we have to keep a close watch on the amount of harvest , so to speak, to reach the level of transparency necessary for

the government rights of t mines in the past years. it has taken a good trend , which means it has grown, and considering that in the budget of 1402, i.e. the current year, about 13% progress is predicted, you do not think that this will be the reason for the closure of some small mines in some provinces. keep in mind that the budget is an estimate of the income that we expect from a department . our expert reviews do not confirm some of these estimates. we are waiting for you we don't have such growth without compliments. anyway , as i said, we are not where we were two years ago. in two years ago, we could not

put a clear information on the table, for example, how much production we have and how much we expect. it has government rights, but why today we know exactly how much production we should expect from the mine, how much the price is, and therefore we can estimate these numbers well and easily. our estimate this year is not an increase . see how much you estimate. we think that because of the year in the past, the huge increase in government salaries was mostly related to receiving arrears. let me give you a number. last year, we had 38 thousand billion tomans in state salaries. out of this 38 and a half thousand billion tomans , almost 16 thousand billion tomans were in arrears, and what actually went back to last year's state salaries was 22 thousand a day. the billion tomans

were government rights, well, naturally, this 22,22 thousand billion tomans will have a growth, this growth will return to global prices, which means, for example, egyptian stone inside the country is completely affected by the price trend. the world is eating up the price. well, we will evaluate these factors, for example, how much we will grow this year. what we have is the general price level. the world of mineral goods this year has decreased a bit, which means that our global prices will decrease, but due to domestic inflation , we will have a slight increase in these numbers. it certainly won't give the size that some friends are proposing now, it definitely won't. we don't expect that. last year, we

received 38,500 billion tomans of government salaries, of which 22,000 billion tomans were government salaries that year. there were arrears, and in this way, we were able to collect the main part of the arrears, a small part of the arrears , which is again related to the arrears of the previous year , we are still waiting. it's not that our government salary this year is more than last year, so your concern is not in terms of government salary, but of course , i would like to mention one point here. the plan of the 7th plan, which is not compatible with the realities of mines, such as receiving one and a half percent of the income of mines for roads. this issue to convenience means that with a certain amount of carelessness , it may cause widespread closure of small mines. there is this concern, my colleagues

, prepare a report about the mines, we will see this report, then we will talk about the issues raised in the report. one. i think that one of the first or the fewest mines in iran, which was able to overcome the pressure of work at an altitude of 325 meters above sea level, is our mine, a treasure of marble stone in the mountains of fars province . they really couldn't work this mine the face was not working full time now, a new contractor last year. he came there and had a will that softened the heart of the stone. el kohe has a very strong eloquence and god willing, we will develop this mine. the revitalization

of mines, which has been more serious for two or three years , has come to the forefront of the government's and ministry's pursuits. some of our provinces are called mine heaven , it has so many mines. yes , mine heaven is like kerman. yes, god willing. in order to revive the mines, the number and reason of their racket should have been analyzed before handing over again yes, we have a number of mines that are in the auction, so these should be assigned, that is , if it is possible to hand them over, they should be handed over to the public . and holding the auctions became legal. licenses issued in previous years, which were given to private sectors, cooperatives, non-governmental public institutions, and other natural and legal entities, if

they did not lead to exploration and mining by the end of march 2019, will be given to new applicants through auctions. placed. the issue that was established will be closed by the end of this year. by the end of the year , god willing, all the mines and mines that are in the hands of the ministry will be cleared. the founders introduce that reaching the 13% growth of the mining sector, which is targeted in the 7th plan, passes through the main road of mine revival . well, one of the issues mentioned by mr. mottashmipour in the report is that by the end of this year , all the stagnant mines will be handed over with disadvantages. how much is this operation and what is the plan for this issue? this issue that you mentioned is one of our main programs in the mining sector. of course, i am a

i would like to make it clear that we promised that by the end of this year we have to complete these mines, it is possible that these mines will not be handed over, because some of these mines due to the defects that they made in themselves, for example, well, after all, some of these mines do not have the necessary reserves. there has been a karakat, well, this is it. they should be handed over or some of these maadams are not very attractive due to the distance from the quality or grade. in the first stage, we will offer everything we have in the auction layer . in 1402, god willing, all of these will be auctioned. these existing capacities feel that they have a desire to enter and gain access, and if there is an applicant for the mine, then the applicant can take over the mine , so the auction will be held for all of these, but logically and naturally, some of these will be handed over because of the demand. i don't want to forgive them. i mean, we

know that at the end of the year we will reach a list of mines that are stagnant and there is no demand for them. we also need this list because this list now determines our next step. let's check these mines carefully, maybe some of them are basically no longer possible if they don't have mining, it should be returned to natural resources and released. some of these may need additional measures to be activated. we should define a project on these. we should work to reach a mining capacity, which means a small capacity sometimes. we are doing this right now, sometimes we have in some areas where, for example , there are a few small mining capacities in a geographical area close to each other. these are announced as plans and are tried to be implemented in fact, the plan we will have for the year 143 is that what

was not requested in 1402 will be completed. the program that we have in handing over rocket mines, reports say that mining auctions are underway in some provinces, but some mines are complaining that there is not the necessary transparency in the announced system. what is your opinion ? this is a problem. look, we actually had to make a choice or we should have kept the mines. we are talking about how many mines , let me give you the statistics. we took the rocket mines case and we had to assign 19,000 mining areas, and later, when this project continued , several thousand new areas were added, and we had to assign approximately 23,400 mining areas. well, there are two ways forward, one is that we

have complete information about each of these 24,000 mineral areas. and then, well, this required a lot of exploratory studies. well, this is a time-consuming task and it needs a lot of time . then, let's enter into the transfer or not , and offer what is there to the people and to the miners. miners who can come to a decision and conclusion based on the technical information they have or the reviews they do on the documents will remove a part of these mines, so we should not delay. this process and the thing that is happening now due to the same reasons that you said, because of the lack of information or some ambiguities that exist, no one was paying attention to the study. we have the explorations , we obliged the governing bodies to explore the areas we gave them, which are much more than this. these are the limits of my rocket, these areas

should be studied in full exploration. based on the output of these, we will come to the conclusion that this mine is now operational or not, and then this information will be provided to the applicants, so that, according to your words , the defects or ambiguity in other information can be resolved. ok, but we couldn't actually stop this process, that is, the handing over process until we get to those results. anyway, the nature of exploratory work requires years of work, and naturally , both topics should be followed in parallel. we did and we are doing this work. yes, one of the other issues that exists in the field of harvesting from mines is the annual cut of gas and electricity, which may be short in summer and winter at some times, but it will eventually cause problems in harvesting. ministry of tadbir position this year.

so that we don't face such a problem in the mines in winter? this concern that you said is mainly focused on the energy industry , one steel industry, two television industries. look, i think we should discuss a problem here and explain it to the people very well. see in the year in the past, after we discovered the south pars gas reserves. in fact, we discovered and were able to activate these , there was a demand in the country that we should not export this gas in raw form , so we should invest and turn these into products inside the country. energiver, but these capacity building sometimes regardless of the limitations that will eventually come into existence in a new form.
