The President of the Iranian Copper Association emphasized the importance of timely supply of fuel, explosives, machinery, and parts, pointing to the new challenges faced by the mining sector. He stated that the share of mines in the country's fuel consumption is only 2 percent, but this share can significantly impact production and the economy under current conditions.
Fuel Supply Challenges
Fuel supply, as one of the basic needs of mines, has currently turned into a major challenge. The President of the Iranian Copper Association expressed concern that any disruption in fuel supply could lead to a halt in mining activities, stressing that this issue will not only affect mineral production but will also have widespread consequences for the country's economy.
Consequences of Halting Mining Machinery
Halting mining machinery due to lack of fuel and equipment can lead to reduced production and consequently increased unemployment in this sector. The President of the Iranian Copper Association also pointed out that the dependence of mines on foreign fuel and equipment could lead to more serious crises, especially under current international sanctions and economic problems. He urged officials to take necessary measures to prevent such crises from occurring.
Considering that mines are recognized as one of the important pillars of the country's economy, securing resources and facilities for this sector should be prioritized. The President of the Iranian Copper Association noted that neglecting these needs could lead to a decrease in production capacity and ultimately a decline in the quality of life for the people.
