This classification is important and has legal implications because items such as the cost of exploration rights, the area of exploration licenses and exploitation licenses, the amount of government salaries, the inclusion of safety regulations and the employment of a technical manager in the mine are initially dependent on the mineral class. Minerals can also be classified in terms of chemical composition and application in industry. Article 4 of the Act provides classification of the minerals in 4 categories. The first class include limestone, gypsum, ordinary sand, salt (blue and stone), building stone and similar stones, class two refer to metal-minerals such as iron, gold, silver, cream, tin, mercury, lead, zinc and copper. Class three refer to petroleum materials such as oil, natural gas, natural bitumen, natural asphalt and oil shale and similar ones. Class four include radioactive materials used for nuclear power and fuel for nuclear power plants. According to this Act Large mines are identified by the High Council of Mines according to the amount of reserves, grade, amount of extraction, value of the mineral, number of employees, amount of investment, geographical location and socio-economic and political considerations. Exploration and exploitation of the mines shall be processed in accordance to this Act. Texto completo Farsi Página web www.dotic.ir Referencias - Legislación Revocado por Mining Law.
