Experimental exploitation of the Copper Concentration Plant in May 2020

Referring to the amount of the Der Alo Copper mine deposit, Shamseldini said: According to the latest estimate of the stored data using the 124 exploratory borehole and based on the mine discovery certificate, the definite amount of geological reserve of the deposit in Der Alo is 0.2 percent at about 228 million tons Copper is 0.35%.

He noted that from this amount of about 153 million tons of copper with a copper average of 0.39 percent, mining is, which is about 0.6 percent of the mine`s current waste / ore compared to other mines owned by the National Industry Company The copper of Iran, the AED coal mine, has a lower petrol ratio.

Shamsledini added: "The pre-dumping operation of the Der Alo mine has begun since the second half of 2010, and now with the harvest of about 28 million tons of gravel, the mine is ready to ship sulfur to the factory.


About two years ago, Basic Engineering was developed by a factory consultant and in partnership with FLSmidth, according to which the EPC contract was completed for the plant`s project, which ultimately resulted in the construction of the plant, Der Alo. In the first half of the year 2016, the acquisition of the Der Alo condensate plant was commissioned by the EPC contractor, and now the physical progress of the entire project is about 40 percent.


Referring to the current copper management approach in moving forward to new copper mines, Shamseldini said: "In the current situation, the new management of the copper company emphasizes the launch of new mines and the development of concentrate production, which indicates their high managerial capability and wide-ranging attitude.

Since the launch of new and medium mines rightly suggests that the production of copper will increase in the years to come and will result in a high added value for the copper company.
