Pars Tamin Mine Development Company is the mining arm of Sadr Tamin Holding, a subsidiary of Shasta Holdings. By exploiting the mine and constructing a gold extraction plant, this company has provided direct and indirect employment for more than 1,500 people from Sistan and Baluchestan Province. In order to provide its needed manpower, Pars Tamin has, for the first time, held a recruitment exam in Sistan and Baluchestan Province to select, recruit, train, and employ young local forces.

Pars Tamin Mines Development Company, by holding a socialization course, sent more than 120 newly recruited local forces to the Mote Gold Complex in Isfahan Province to undergo theoretical and practical courses, and then implemented additional in-service training for these forces. This action by Pars Tamin Mines Development Company has been a major step in training young local skilled workers and has paved the way for the creation and development of an industrial culture in Sistan and Baluchestan Province.
