During a visit by the Board of Directors and Exploration Management of the Iran Mineral Production and Supply Company to the Kerman Province Exploration and Mining Projects Complex, the exploration capacities and the process of exploration activities in the complex and southern Kerman Province were examined and assessed.
Alireza Shahidi, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Sasan Taj Gardoun, Board Member of the Iran Mineral Production and Supply Company, along with Farshad Joulideh-Sar, Exploration Manager, visited the Kerman Province Exploration and Mining Projects Complex and the exploration areas of southern Kerman Province and examined and assessed the complex’s exploration activities.
Field examination of the activities process, close familiarization with executive and exploration capacities, review of challenges, and presentation of technical and executive solutions for advancing projects were carried out during this visit, and Mehdi Basereh, Manager of the Kerman Province Exploration and Mining Projects Complex, explained the measures taken in the complex in a report.
During the visit to the southern areas of Kerman Province, the Maran Qaleh gold exploration area was examined and assessed, and the latest status of exploration activities, the volume of drilling carried out, and the progress of field operations were outlined. Also, the project’s consultant and contractor, presenting specialized reports, provided explanations about the geological features, mineral potentials of the area, technical and executive measures taken, and existing challenges.
Accordingly, the Maran Qaleh exploration area, with gold as its mineral material, has so far seen more than 7,000 meters of core drilling. The results of the exploration operations have provided significant evidence and potentials for continuing studies, evaluation, and reserve estimation of this area. Given the results obtained, the continuation of drilling operations and completion of exploration programs remain on the agenda.
After reviewing the technical reports and closely observing the activities process, the IMPASCO Board members assessed the progress status of the executive and exploration operations in this area as favorable and, while emphasizing the continuation of activities, provided the necessary recommendations and solutions for improving the project’s technical and executive process.
The IMPASCO Board members also visited the exploration core warehouse of the southern areas of the province. During this visit, samples obtained from drilling and mineral evidence obtained from several exploration areas, including Maran Qaleh gold, Esfandagheh polymetallic, Kahnuj 1, etc., were closely observed and examined, and the mineral capacities and potentials of these areas were outlined.
It is worth noting that at the end of these visits, reviewing exploration results, exchanging views among experts, and field assessment of existing challenges provided a suitable basis for more precise decision-making regarding the continuation of activities.
