Koor Copper Mine, located in Kerman Province, is on the verge of entering the implementation and industrial development phase with an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons. This mine is recognized as one of the largest copper resources in the country, and necessary actions are to be taken to expedite its activation and transfer to the private sector.

Economic and Industrial Consequences
Activating Koor Copper Mine can have many positive effects on the country's copper industry. Given the high production capacity of this mine, it is expected that its launch will increase copper exports and also create new job opportunities in the region. Considering that Koor Mine is located in one of the mineral-rich areas of the country, its exploitation can significantly contribute to the economic growth of Kerman Province and the country.
In this context, Samiei-Nejad also referred to the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade's plans for Iranian trucks to enter the international market. These trucks are allowed to import a pair of tires and engine oil from abroad, which will help grow the transportation industry and support mining projects.
Ultimately, with the follow-ups made for the activation and transfer of Koor Mine, it is hoped that this project will soon reach the implementation phase and be introduced as a model for the development of the country's mines.
