The relationship between knowledge-based economy and new mining technologies

Mehrdad Shirazi stated in an interview with Mizan: "The knowledge-based economy is a meta-framework. Basically, today it is not possible to have the same traditional and usual perspective on industry and mining because many phenomena have been or will be influenced by new technologies and artificial intelligence. This issue has shown itself in mineral exploration, mining, and optimization of mineral product production processes as well.

Manā Mining Company was established in 2020 as a venture capital investor in the mining sector. Creating and expanding the ecosystem and infrastructure for knowledge development and knowledge-based mining activities based on domestic capabilities and cooperation with active institutions in the field of science and technology should be on the agenda of companies active in the country’s mining industry. This is not a desirability, but a necessity because this is fundamentally what the current era requires."

Shirazi added: "Using global experiences and establishing effective collaborations in the field of knowledge-based economy can lead to synergy among companies and organizations active in the country’s mining industry. One only needs to have an innovative and creative perspective in this regard. "
