Mineral Wealth
The Venarj Manganese Mine, located close to the city of Qom, is one of the largest, if not the largest, manganese mine in Western Asia. Owned and operated by Manganese Mines of Iran, the mine produces a significant portion of Iran’s domestic manganese usage, mainly for iron and steel industries.
In the often difficult and sometimes dangerous conditions, workers remove the rock ore which is processed to extract the raw manganese.
