Iran has revealed the discovery of a significant new gold deposit at one of the country’s largest existing gold mines, marking a major boost to its mineral and economic prospects.
The new find is expected to substantially increase Iran’s gold reserves and enhance production capacity at a time when the country is working to strengthen its mining sector amid international sanctions.
Authorities say detailed geological assessments are ongoing to determine the full scale and commercial value of the discovery. Iran has been investing heavily in mining exploration in recent years, with gold seen as a strategic asset that can support economic stability and foreign exchange reserves.
More updates are expected as extraction plans develop.
