Iran has staked out 1,000 promising gold prospects which are thought to help carve out a niche as important as steel in the country’s mining sector, an official says.

With its oil industry under a strict sanctions regime, Iran is beginning to take stock of its other resources and mining is emerging as a new bonanza field.

Iran pumped out more steel in quarter ending late June despite a slump in the global production.

An explosion rocked the ArcelorMittal steel plant in Burns Harbor, Indiana, sparking a fire and causing damage to equipment near a blast furnace.

Iran's steel production is expected to hit 55 million tonnes in the next five years.

An Iranian steel mill reaches its highest ever daily amount of crude production.

Iran’s exports of crude steel have surged by over a quarter in the year ending late March.

Iran says sponge iron exports surged by 86% y/y in February despite a 10% tariff imposed on shipments.

The highly contagious new coronavirus that has exploded into a global pandemic can remain viable and infectious in droplets in the air for hours and on surfaces up to days, according to a new study.

A report shows that steel exports from Iran surged by nearly a third between March and February 2019.
