China's Nonferrous Metal Industry's Foreign Engineering and Construction Company (NFC) will transfer modern technologies for the production of aluminum ingot to Iran.
Announcing this, Deputy Head of NFC Qin Junman said given the recent advances made by China in the mine sector, the company plans to transfer its latest know-how on aluminum smelters to Iran.
The official pointed out that energy consumption will be reduced to its lowest as Iranian smelters employ the technology. "NFC will cooperate with Iranian companies on extraction of gold, copper, lead and zinc in the near future," Junman said.
The company also plans to cooperate in the construction of water desalination plants in central Iran including Kerman Province, added the official.
Pointing to the recent exploratory activities in the country, Junman said Iran has rich mineral resources providing plenty of opportunities for cooperation in mineral development.
Founded in 1983, NFC is involved in nonferrous metal resources development, engineering contracting, equipment manufacturing, and related trading and service both home and abroad.
With its professional teams of design, consulting, engineering and construction, NFC has completed a great number of nonferrous metal exploration projects, mines, concentrators and smelters, equipping itself with related trading and metallurgical machinery manufacturing capabilities.
