Sector-Specific

Mining Concession Applications

Exploration permits, exploitation licences, and JV structuring for Iranian mining projects under the Mines Act.

Iran is one of the world's most mineralised countries, with significant copper, zinc, iron ore, and rare-earth resources. Concession titles are administered by the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade through IMIDRO and provincial mining offices. We secure exploration permits, convert them into exploitation licences, and structure joint ventures with state-owned holders such as IMIDRO, NICICO, and IMPASCO.
