Sangan is one of the biggest iron ore mining areas in Iran with around 1.2 billion tones iron ore resources.
Development projects planned for Sangan mining area will increase its iron ore fine and pellet production capacity to 20 million tones when finalized and would surely improve Iran Steel industry in the future.

One of them is a 5 million tone / year pellet production line and the other one is an iron ore concentration line with 2.4 million tone /year production capacity.
