Maad Company, in 2016, based on the exploration license issued by the Ministry of Mines and Felts, Kermanshah Province Industry, Mining and Trade Organization, began exploration operations in a part of the Maad mine area .
In the early stages, using expert researchers in the field of geophysics, two-dimensional surveying or in other words, two-dimensional electrical imaging was performed.
In this study, in which geoelectric operations were performed in a part of the range, it was found that the mineral Gilsonite (bitumen) from several centimeters to several meters, with alternating thicknesses, has been replaced in the layers of the specified range.
Also, after evaluating the natural bitumen reserve, for more accuracy and precision, precise speculation operations were performed by drill wagons and powder drilling.
