From the heart of the desert mines, we pave the way to the future. Guided by expertise, driven by technology, and committed to sustainability—Miras Kavir is building a lasting legacy for generations to come.
About the company
Founded in 2014 with the investment and infrastructure of Kimia Daran Kavir Co., Miras Kavir Mining Development Co. was established to ensure a secure supply of phosphate concentrate for major national industries. Today, through advanced technology, skilled teams, and strategic mining operations in regions like Bahabad, we meet the growing annual demand for phosphate-based raw materials. Combining our mining heritage with innovation, we create economic value, develop the phosphate value chain, and contribute to sustainable growth for future generations.
Projects
At Miras Kavir, every project is an opportunity to create lasting value—from smart resource utilization to innovative solutions for the phosphate industry and beyond.
Collector is a key chemical reagent in the phosphate flotation process. It enables phosphorus-bearing minerals to attach to air bubbles and separate from tailings. Due to its high strategic value and import cost, Miras Kavir launched an in-house production initiative. Laboratory tests have yielded promising results, and raw materials for the pilot phase have been procured and are en route for testing.

CRIMMCollector is a key chemical reagent in the phosphate flotation process. It enables phosphorus-bearing minerals to attach to air bubbles and separate from tailings.
Due to its high strategic value and import cost, Miras Kavir launched an in-house production initiative. Laboratory tests have yielded promising results, and raw materials for the pilot phase have been procured and are en route for testing.
Post‑commissioning tests revealed arsenic content in phosphate concentrate above accepted industry limits, potentially impacting downstream products.
As part of a Master’s thesis at Amirkabir University of Technology, a detailed study was completed and presented at multiple industry conferences.
Building on these results, Kimia Daran Kavir developed in-house additive-based treatments that safely precipitate arsenic, ensuring compliant phosphate concentrate.
Significant levels of rare earth elements were detected in phosphate products. Ongoing mineralogical mapping investigates their quantity and distribution to assess potential for high-value product development and strategic market positioning.
Choghart iron ore plant tailings contain recoverable phosphorus.
Phase one, conducted with the Mineral Processing Research Center of Iran, confirmed phosphorus in specific particle-size fractions.
Phase two, under CRIMM (China), validated that concentrate grades above 30% were achievable.
However, execution was halted when feed phosphorus levels at Choghart declined significantly, making recovery commercially unfeasible.

Our Journey
Building foundations for tomorrow
At every step, Miras Kavir has invested in building a resilient foundation for tomorrow—combining mining expertise, strategic industrial partnerships, and innovative projects that strengthen the phosphate value chain and drive sustainable growth.
01
Company Origins
Miras Kavir Mining Development Co. was established in 2014 with an initial capital of 10 billion IRR, dedicated to supplying phosphate concentrate for major industrial projects.
02
Building Strategic Capacities
Kimia Daran Kavir Co. expanded the phosphate value chain in Bahabad with sulfuric acid (60,000 + 200,000 t/y), phosphoric acid (80,000 t/y), and TSP fertilizer (100,000 t/y) units—creating an annual demand of 280,000 tons of phosphate concentrate.
03
Recovery & Innovation
In partnership with Chadormalu, the first phosphate recovery plant from iron tailings was built—delivering benefits such as foreign exchange savings, recycled water use, reduced transport costs, and local engineering expertise.
