Baku, Azerbaijan, Jan. 31
By Elnur Baghishov – Trend:
More than 3,000 tons of bituminous coal is produced in the Eyvan County of western Iran’s Ilam Province, Omid Ali Sabzi, governor of Eyvan County, told IRNA, Trend reports.
The county is considered to be one of the main centers of bituminous coal production. As such, the construction of a factory for this sector is imperative.
“The mine in Eyvan County is one of the largest of its kind in the Middle East, its value reaching 10 trillion rials (app. $230 million),” he said.
Sabzi added that, despite such levels of bituminous coal production, the potential of the provincial mines has not been put into use for opening up new workplaces.
Bituminous coal produced in Iran’s Eyvan County is exported in pulverized form to other countries.
