This is a comprehensive collection of data about Iran’s mineral deposits, production and trade based on the available data sources, and gives the reader a good account of Iran’s position in world as far as its share in mineral deposits, production and mineral trade are concerned.
The author has tried his best to provide a comprehensible outcome in qualitative and quantitative assessment of each mineral deposit based on available data, world class logical and comparative analytical methods and Iran’s geological features.
