"Iran has opened a new gold processing plant, reportedly the biggest in the Middle East, hoping to double its production of precious metals. Using a unique technology, Tehran says it will now mine up to three tons of gold per year. Iranian TV reported that the opening ceremony was attended by First Vice President Ishaq Jahangiri."
"It is expected that the plant's gold production capacity will soon reach six tons per year. Silver and mercury productions are expected to hit 2.5 and 1.5 tons, respectively."
"This implementation is part of the so-called 'economy of resistance,' which Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, introduced in February. The policy includes domestic economy building with maximum utilization of the country's resources, as well as the promotion of a knowledge-based economy and innovation. The ultimate goal is to become the No. 1 knowledge-based economy of the region."
