The Mehdiabad Lead and Zinc Mines Development Company, a subsidiary of Zarrin Industrial and Mining Group, began operations in June 2014 (Khordad 1393) to revive the Mehdiabad lead and zinc mine. Leveraging the expertise and experience of Zarrin Group and collaborating with domestic and international partners, the company specializes in lead, zinc, and coal production.
Founded in June 2014, the company aims to exploit the country’s rich mineral resources and develop the value chain in the mining sector. Since 2018 (1397), the company has been active in the largest anthracite coal mine in Tabas. With advanced technologies and specialized human resources, it has become a key player in Iran’s mining industry.
The Mehdiabad Lead and Zinc Mine is considered one of the largest mineral reserves in the world, enabling the company to produce high-quality products such as lead concentrate, zinc concentrate, zinc oxide, anthracite coal, and barite powder.
To produce high value-added mineral products, meet the needs of various industries, and maintain environmental sustainability. The company relies on vast mineral reserves and high technical capabilities to pursue sustainable development.
Strategies:
Produce high-quality products in line with international standards
Increase market share and exports
Comply with environmental and health standards
Implement performance evaluation and educational needs systems
As one of the largest mineral producers in Iran, Mehdiabad produces high-quality products for various industries. Utilizing rich mineral reserves and advanced production technologies, these products are supplied to both domestic and international markets.
Lead Concentrate: A primary product with high purity, used in batteries, metal alloys, and chemical production.
Zinc Concentrate: Produced using modern extraction and processing technologies, it has excellent purity and quality, widely used in galvanizing, zinc alloy production, and batteries.
Zinc Oxide (ZnO): Produced to international standards, this product is used in ceramics, rubber, paints, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals due to its unique chemical and physical properties.
Anthracite Coal: High energy content and fixed carbon; used extensively in steel production, water treatment, and energy generation.
Barite Powder: High-density mineral essential for oil and gas drilling, also widely used in rubber, plastics, and chemical industries.
The company has undertaken the restoration of the historic Mehdiabad Castle, a culturally and historically significant site.
The project aims to preserve cultural heritage, strengthen local identity, and create added value for communities around the mine. Restoration efforts include repairing damaged sections, improving tourist infrastructure, and enhancing access to the site.
These activities not only preserve the region’s history and culture but also foster social interaction and economic opportunities, such as tourism and related business development. This demonstrates the company’s commitment to sustainable development and improving local livelihoods.
To build a prosperous, free, and proud Iran, we need men who are visionary, courageous, and determined. With such resolve, no mountain, desert heat, or obstacle can stand in their way. These men have committed to keeping Iranian youth proud in Iran and ensuring that Iranian wealth is invested within the country for the welfare of the people. Establishing the lead and zinc concentrate plant in the mineral-rich region of Yazd, next to Mehdiabad Mine – the world’s largest lead and zinc reserve – is the first and most important step toward this mission. Undoubtedly, the fusion of Iranian diligence and determination will bring blessings to every Iranian.
