The most significant weakness in the field of mineral production in Iran is the dilapidation of mining machinery.
Over 15,000 mining machinery and vehicles in Iran are more than 20 years old, according to the head of Iranian Mining Engineering Organization. “The most significant weakness in the field of mineral production is the dilapidation of mining machinery,” Reza Bastami was also quoted as saying by IRNA. He noted that the age of the machinery is one of the most important reasons behind the rise in the final prices of mineral and mining products.
