The Persian Bank Mining Rights Corporation Limited
has been formed for the purpose of acquiring and turn
ing to account the Mining Rights comprised in the
Concessicn fiom the Government of the Shah of Persia,
for the term cf sixty years from 30th January, 1889, and
which Concession is now vested in the Imperial Bank of
Persia.
The Rojal Charter granted by the English Govern
ment to that Bank limits it to banking business, and the
Concessicn also provides that the Bank shall not itie’.f
carry on the mining and other works mentioned in
Articles 11, 12 and 13, but provides that, with the sanc
tion of the Imperial Government of Persia, it may sell or
cede the privileges, rights and powers specified in such
Articles.
The sanction of the Imperial Government of Persia
was granted under date of January the 5 b, and the
document was registered at the British Legation at
Teheran on the 9th January, 1890.
The Articles thus referred to granted for the whole
term of ihe Concession the exclusive and definite
privilege of working throughout the Empire the iron,
topper, lead, mercury, coal, petroleum, maoganese,borax,
and ashes,os (amianthus) mines belonging to the Slate,
and which had not been previously ceded to others. The
excepted mines are specified in an official list. The lands
necessary for the working of the mines and for construc
tion of roads to he given gratis to the Bank when such
lands are on State domain. The material necessary for
working the mines is to be free of duty, and the lands
and buildings ate to be free from all imposts and taxes.
The Government of Persia is to receive 16 per cent, of
the net profits of each mine worked, thus that Govern
ment will have a direct interest in the success of the
mining operations. The Concession gives liberty to
prospect and generally to test the value of all or any of
the mining properties, and works and mines the working
of which has not been commenced for 10 years after the
constitution of the Bank are to be deemed abandoned
and may be disposed of by the State.
The Imperial Bank of Persia has entered into a con
ditional contract for sale of these mining privileges and
rights to the Company. The purchase price has been
fixed at /8oo,ooo, to be paid as respects /i50,ooo in
cash and me balance by the allotment to me Bank of
/650 ,coo in 130,000 fully paid-up Ordinary Shares of /$
each in the Company.
The /350,coo of Capital obtained by this issue will
provide for the above-mentioned cash payment to the
Bank, and the residue of the Capital, viz., /200,00a, will,
it is anticipated, be amply sufficient to explore the whole
mineral resources of the Empire, to develop and work
such of the mines as the Company may deem it expedient
to work themselves, and to make the preliminary
developments and surveys previous to ceding any mines
to subsidiary Companies.
The Mining Engineers already sent out by the Bank
will be transferred to this Company.
It is anticipated that large returns will be obtained by
the sale of mining rights to subsidiary Companies.
The profits for each year will be applicable, first to the
payment of dividends up to 10 per cent, per annum on
the Preferred Ordinary Shares, and next to the payment
of dividends up to 10 per cent, per annum on the
Ordinary Shares, and after payment of such respective
dividends, one-half of the surplus profits will be applied
in payment of dividends on the / 3 S 0 > 000 -^ >re * errec “
Ordinary Shares, and the other half in payment of
dividends on the /6so,ooo Ordinary Shares.

About this item
- Content
These papers, which are spread across two volumes, contain material relating to mines and mining rights in Persia, and more specifically to the affairs of the Persian Bank Mining Rights Corporation Limited, of which George Nathaniel Curzon was a director.
The first part (26 March 1890-27 March 1892) is mostly comprised of received correspondence regarding Curzon's appointment to the board of directors of the recently formed Persian Bank Mining Rights Corporation and the company's interests in mines and mining rights in Persia. Also included in this part are facsimiles of company correspondence and reports, forwarded to Curzon by the company's Secretary, Lewis Hamilton, concerning the company's affairs, with discussion of existing and potential mining sites in Persia. Notable correspondents in this part include Edward Albert Sassoon of David Sassoon and Company, as well as fellow board members and other representatives and associates of the Persian Bank Mining Rights Corporation such as Lewis Hamilton, Sir Lepel Henry Griffin, and Albert Houtum-Schindler.
The second part (1 July 1889-20 December 1892) consists of Curzon's own handwritten notes plus a selection of reports, printed papers, newspaper cuttings, and correspondence, not only on mining and mining rights in Persia, but also regarding the affairs of the Persian Bank Mining Rights Corporation. It includes a list of those mines that are privately-owned and those that have been given in lease by the Persian Government, as well as details of Persian mines that are at the disposal of the Imperial Bank of Persia. Papers directly relating to the Persian Bank Mining Rights Corporation include copies of a memorandum and articles of association, as well as circulars, balance sheets, and a copy of extensive correspondence between the company and Houtum-Schindler. Also included is a copy of the general report of another company, the Persian Road and Transport Company, dated March 1891.
Among the papers are four plans: three of the Elburz [Alborz] mountains (folios 33, 36 and 45) and one showing transport routes across Persia (folio 266).
The German language material consists of three book titles cited by Houtum-Schindler.
