CEO Message

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.
