The certificate for gold discovery in Sari-Guni region, Kordestan Province, will be issued for the foreign private sector, in accordance with the mining rules and regulations of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Nasser Abedian, the Exploration Manager of the Geological Survey of Iran (GSI) said in an interview with GSI News Section. Zarkuh Co., jointly owned by the British Rio Tinto Co. (70 percent) and Iran Exploration Services Co. (30 percent), has demanded certificate of gold discovery in Sari-Guni region, he explained, adding, however, the certificate is yet to be issued for the company due to certain technical faults recognized by the GSI Committee for Discovery Certificate. He further explained that in the session held with the officials of Zarkuh Co., 15 technical faults were recognized and presented to them. So far, 12 of the faults have been resolved, and the rest will be evaluated in the next sessions, he added. Abedian rejected any political reason for not issuing the certificate of discovery for Zarkuh Co., stressing the certificate has not been issued only due to technical faults.
