Research Center for Ore Deposit of Eastern Iran (CODEI)
The Research Center for Ore Deposits of Eastern Iran (CODEI) was established in 2004 at the Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. In terms of geological features, the Eastern regions of Iran possess valuable mineral potentials. Having common borders with Central Asian countries, i.e., Afghanistan and Pakistan, this area is of particular importance regarding access to global markets. CODEI has played a significant role in establishing cooperation between academia and specialists in industry and mine sectors of the country. In this regard, CODEI has succeeded in providing necessary background for accurate identification, exploration and exploitation of the mineral resources of ore deposit in Eastern Iran.
