Abstarct: Exports, as one of the main pillars of national economies, play an important role in economic growth and development. In this context, mining companies and mineral industries, due to their natural resources and comparative advantages, can have a significant share in non-oil exports. This activity not only constitutes one of the most important sources of foreign currency revenue, but also creates employment and promotes the development of infrastructure related to the mining sector. This study examines the factors affecting the exports of Iranian mining companies and mineral industries. The main objective of the research is to evaluate the effects of economic, financial, and operational variables on these companies' export levels. To achieve this goal, 27 companies over the period 2014–2023 (1393–1402 in the Iranian calendar) are analyzed using EViews, employing panel data regression methods, correlation tests, and fixed and random effects tests. The review of the results for the variables under study indicates that financial facilities have a positive and significant effect on exports — that is, as financial facilities increase, exports also increase significantly. In contrast, labor productivity has a negative effect on exports, suggesting that increased labor productivity may adversely affect exports. Likewise, labor wages have a strong and negative effect on exports, such that higher wages lead to reduced exports. The exchange rate has a significant and negative effect on exports, meaning a decrease in the exchange rate can help increase exports. Conversely, net income has a positive and significant effect on exports. However, capital productivity and the degree of financial independence show positive or negative effects, but due to the lack of statistical significance, no definitive conclusions can be drawn about their impact. baxsed on the research findings, several policy and managerial recommendations are offered that can, while strengthening the capabilities of mining enterprises, help increase exports and foster economic development in this sector. These findings can serve as an effective guide for policymakers and economic stakeholders in developing exports of the mineral industries.
