The head of the board of trustees of the mine, emphasizing the government's support for the payment of facilities for machinery in this sector, said: "We demand a reduction of the rate of payment facilities in the mining sector by 4%."

According to the International Stone Exhibition of Iran, Alaa Mohammad Sadeghi said at the third meeting of the country's mining and mining industry that today the attention to the mining field is much higher than in the past. There was a time when we had talks about exporting industries and minerals, but we didn't pay attention.

He noted that in the past the government had no support for the mining sector, he continued: "We had a meeting with the central bank at the time, which believed that we had about twenty billion imports at that time, when the country's exports were very limited.

Mirmohammad Sadeghi said that in the past only part of Iran's stone was exported to Italy, he said at a meeting with officials at that time, they always insisted that mineral exports should be considered.

The head of the board of trustees of the Iranian Mining House stated that unfortunately today the export of Iranian carpets is in the top ten, saying that if the mining sector is activated it will have a significant role in creating employment in addition to exporting exports.

He added: "In the industry to create jobs, we must first look for conditions, such as finding the right climate." While mine is in the possession of everything, we have only to explore and extract it. That's why it is easy to create employment.

Mir Mohammad Sadeghi, criticizing the integration of the mining and industry sector with trade and commerce, said: "This was done under the pretext of government downsizing, but now not only has the ministry increased its numbers but no downsizing."

He said that the best way to realize a resistive economy is to pay attention to the capacity of the mines, adding: Some industry experts believe that about 90 percent of the country's mines have not yet been discovered. Mining is costly and requires government support.

The head of the board of trustees of the Iranian Mine House said that once banks did not accept mining licenses from miners as collateral, but fortunately parliament passed an ordinance requiring banks to accept mining licenses as collateral for payment of facilities.

"The government should take steps to increase facilities for mining machinery so that we can take full advantage of these reserves and capacity," he said, stressing that the miners' loan rate should be paid off with less interest.
