On Oct 31, the Ministry of Natural Resources said a 2024 nationwide re-evaluation of co‑occurring and low‑grade strategic minerals found rhenium resources have more than doubled, gold resources are equivalent to adding about 50 large deposits and nickel to about 30. The ministry said it mobilized teams across 27 provinces, more than 100 units and nearly 2,000 surveyors to reassess 17 strategic minerals—including gallium, germanium, indium, chromite, nickel, cobalt, zirconium, hafnium, niobium, tantalum, vanadium, rare earths, rhenium, potash, gold, manganese and helium—completing re-evaluation at over 1,800 operating mines and medium‑to‑large mining districts and estimating the quantities of co‑occurring and low‑grade resources technically and economically recoverable under current conditions.

Al Arabiya on Oct. 31 cited sources saying Iran is reviewing proposals in a letter from U.S. Vice President Vance. Sources said the letter outlined broad principles and a negotiating framework but did not present a complete plan. Iran is discussing U.S. proposals on its nuclear program and is seeking guarantees of a permanent, comprehensive cessation of hostilities in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran also insists on a full ceasefire before talks commence and expects a new round of negotiations, but said it is too early to set a date.
