The Geological Development Plan, which was put on the agenda of the Geological Organization since 1400, is trying to complete the information of 420 cells (projects) of 150,000 geology in 3 layers of geochemical geology, systematic geology and economic geology in the target provinces.
According to RCO News Agency, The plan for the development of geology and the exploration of mineral resources was established in line with the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in the statement of the second step of the Islamic Revolution about the need to achieve an independent economy, proper use of the country’s natural and human resources, and their fair distribution.
This plan also emphasizes the necessity of creating a fundamental transformation in the country’s geosciences and mining sector as one of the important economic, job creation and development components by the country’s geological and mineral exploration organization in the form of a partnership agreement and program with the Iran Mines and Mineral Industries Development and Modernization Organization. Imidro) was scored.
After months of technical review and analysis in the joint strategic mineral committee of the country with the presence of the managers and experts of this department, this organization introduced South Khorasan province as the first target for the implementation of this program in 1400 and planned the implementation of the geological transformation project and the exploration of mineral reserves for it. And it was implemented.
Among the achievements of the South Khorasan project, the following can be mentioned:
* Introduction of 17 gold ranges
* 60 copper ranges
* 25 nickel range
* 9 range of magnesium
* 6 ranges of lead and zinc
With the successful implementation of this plan in South Khorasan province, planning for the targeted and regular implementation of the plan was officially started at the beginning of 1401, during which the target provinces, which included 420 information cells on a scale of 150,000, were selected.
The provinces of Kurdistan, West Azarbaijan, Qom-Central-Isfahan, Alborz, Yazd are among the other provinces where the Geological Organization has implemented the transformation plan.
Alireza Shahidi, former head of Geology and Mineral Exploration Organization and project manager, in an interview with ISNA. Referring to the implementation of the Geological Transformation Plan by the researchers of the Geological Organization, he said: This plan was launched in 1400 and in this plan we put a number of provinces as our first priority and during that 420 cells (projects) 150,000 We will review.
He added: The information of these 420 cells of 150,000 in three layers of geology, geochemistry and systematic geology and economic geology is being completed.
Stating that the pilot phase of this project has been implemented in South Khorasan Province, Shahidi said: The research work of this province has ended and after that we put the studies of Kurdistan province on the agenda, and now the geological studies of this province have also been completed. .
The former head of the Geological Organization considered the Takab-Mahabad project as the next phase of these studies and continued: The conclusion of this study project will be held within the next two weeks. Qom-Central-Isfahan province is our next project that is being implemented.
He called Razavi’s Khorasan province and the Bardscan project as another study phase of this organization’s transformation plan and noted that these projects are ongoing, while the Yazd province project is in the implementation phase, along with some studies by the private sector in the east. Birjand is activated.
Emphasizing that about 30% of the 420 projects have either been completed or are in the implementation phase, Shahidi reminded: In addition to the fact that a new project will start in Jiroft soon, we hope that during the implementation of the seventh five-year plan, the exploration of the area in question in Our first priority is to complete the 260,000 square kilometers of the country.
The former head of the Geological Organization stated: According to the memorandum that was signed, in the areas where their studies are completed, we provide their information to the Ministry of Mines, and this Ministry, based on its policy, or through government enterprises such as Imidro Based on the results of these studies, the exploration process is completed or it is given to the private sector through an auction.
According to him, a part of the transformation plan project of South Khorasan and Kurdistan province has been completed and the project of West Azerbaijan province will be completed in the next two weeks.
Land subsidence
Shahidi considered the phenomenon of land subsidence as an issue related to climate change and water shortage, and stating that the country’s situation in this area has not changed much, he said: Out of 606 plains in the country, more than 400 plains are involved in the subsidence phenomenon, which do not have suitable conditions.
He added: The remaining 200 plains are not in good condition, but they are in better conditions than the other 400 plains. Apart from Gilan province, the phenomenon of subsidence is occurring in other provinces of the country, but depending on the wet and rainy years, the amount and rate of subsidence increases or decreases, but unfortunately, the country does not have ideal conditions for subsidence to occur.
Emphasizing the necessity of protecting the country’s aquifers, this researcher in the field of geological hazards pointed out: In the issue of subsidence, when an aquifer dies, it cannot be revived and in that area where land subsidence occurs, vital and plant life is lost and turns into a desert. It will become a source for other geological hazards such as a dust center.
He continued: In the field of subsidence hazards, we have started studies in some provinces, among which we can point to Isfahan province, where these studies have been completed and we implemented the subsidence hazard maps of Isfahan and Kashan.
Referring to the subsidence studies of Semnan city, Shahidi stated: In our program, studies in important areas are prioritized, because some plains of the country are very It is not strategic, but some of the country’s plains, where many infrastructure facilities have been established, are in our study priority rather than the dangers of this Do the plains in the first priority and complete the information of Anhel.
He announced the preparation of a map of one millionth on a national scale and said: In these studies, a map of all the areas where the phenomenon of subsidence is occurring is prepared. The information of this map is updated annually.
This geological researcher called damage to buildings, high pressure towers, rails and roads as the effects of subsidence and said: In areas where subsidence occurs, cracks appear on the ground, and if these cracks are in the path of water or gas transmission line or high pressure towers, it affects them.
Shahidi considered Isfahan province to be the worst province in terms of subsidence and said: subsidence in this province has penetrated into the city, and in Isfahan city, the effects of subsidence are clearly visible on roads and buildings.
He stated that in Tehran, parts of areas 18 and 19 have been affected by subsidence, he continued: Usually subsidence occurs in areas where there are fine-grained sediments, and a large part of Tehran province is located on coarse-grained alluvium and subsidence It is not seen inside the city of Tehran, but in the northern half of the city of Isfahan around the Zayandeh River, land subsidence is occurring.
He considered the subsidence in Semnan province in the plains and pointed out: Since Semnan province is an industrial province, the plains of this province are affected.
