Iran Mineral Prospects
Mineral industries in Iran over the past few years have been coping with numerous minor and major issues which have overshadowed activities in the filed ranging from prevention of crude selling by enforcing export duties to exposure to the hard condition of the sanctions. Afterwards we entered into a new era called post-sanctions era that in the minds of the public could have been an era full of ease and relief in this field.
"There was a time when we intended to hold talks with different countries in the field of mining; of course if they agreed to hold discussions, they would not agree to visit our country and would choose a third country; but now the situation has changed and the least advantage for us is that reputable countries and mining companies in the form of negotiating teams and for different investments are visiting Iran.” Although the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was a starting point for talks at the negotiation table of foreign investors and mining activists of Iran, according to the deputy industry, mine and trade minister in order to accomplish utmost boom in this field and achieve practical results more time is needed.

Our pretext to interview Dr. Mehdi Karbasian, Deputy Industry Minister for Mining Affairs and Chairman of the Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organization (IMIDRO) was to exchange views on the mining sector in such areas as review of the country’s mineral prospects with regard to global developments in the field of economy, the JCPOA, and new policies in the field of mining and its place in 1396 (2017/2018) budget and the Sixth Development Plan. But, the mining sector under the present juncture has been so news making and exciting that we preferred to focus on the news aspect of the story.
The following interview is a summary of Dr. Karbasian’s opinion on the status of mining one year since JCPOA and while we have left behind the difficult days of the sanctions and this sector is taking a smooth course of development and growth.
