A porphyry copper-gold-silver-molybdenum mine. Produced 9 million tons of ore grading at 1.12% Cu between 1981 and 1984, and had 450 million tons of ore reserves in 1984.
The deposit was mined in ancient times, "rediscovered" about 1966, explored during 1966-1969, and in full production in around 1977.
Located 65 km southwest of Kerman city and 50 km south of Rafsanjan.
