Shareholders also supported facilitating and accelerating implementation to achieve the project’s strategic, economic and social objectives as soon as possible. Arrangements were completed for uninterrupted subsequent financing stages in line with the project’s cash-flow requirements.

Given all shareholders’ alignment and agreement on achieving the defined objectives promptly, the various implementation stages are expected to proceed at a satisfactory pace and quality, enabling inauguration and operation in the near future.

The meeting was attended by representatives of Mines and Metals Investment, Tajali Investment, Sangan Steel and Tuka Foolad Investment as Kaniyar Saei shareholders, together with the statutory auditor and company board members.
