Ahmadinejad inaugurates giant iron ore plant

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has inaugurated the biggest iron ore pelletizing plant in the Middle East near the southern city of Sirjan.

Gol-e-Gohar pelletizing plant has a capacity to produce five million tonnes of iron ore per year; enough for production of 2.5 million tonnes of steel.

Around 445 million euros ($600 million) has been invested in setting up the factory.

The plant, located 60 km (37 miles) from the city of Sirjan in the southern province of Kerman, has created 5500 direct and indirect jobs.

The Gol-e-Gohar pellet plant has been built over four years and will use iron ore concentrates from the Gol-e-Gohar mine in the province.
