Vice-President Javadi has stated that sustainable development
is based upon three basic principles: people, economy and environment. http://www.irna.ir/en/news/view/line-25/0512065983173216.htm
"Sustainable development cannot be achieved with a prompt utilization of God
's endowments, such as mineral resources, and thorough understanding of the "Nature's Language". Just like the exploration and of mineral resources, which requires its own techniques, prolonged exploitation
of the natural resources
improved techniques and advanced technologies. Considerate perception of these fundamental qualities the basics of "Nature's Language". Languages have their own logic and are systematic in every respect; similarly, Nature's Language has its own rules for illustrating mines. Interrupting the nature's order can lead to irremediable consequences in the physical and human environments. Moreover, concentration of particular elements in excess of the nature's capacity may lead to irreversible environmental harm. Methodical collaboration between the mining community and Environmental Protection Organization can result in lessening of these environmental hazards through sanctioning of environmental-friendly mining regulation and guidelines thus leading to brighter future for both the environment and the mines. The result of such collaborations will maximize the life of mines while ~ downplaying the impact of mining activities. It is hoped that the mining experts involved in fields of exploration, exploitation and processing of minerals with their preventive (and not curing) perceptions, lead the way towards environmental protection
. I am confident that such a prestigious gathering will definitely put forth scientific strategies for increased mining production with least impact on environment
