MINERALS, MINING AND ENERGY “The driving force behind Tanzania’s economic growth”
Welcome to the first volume of Resources Tanzania – an exclusive showcase of Tanzania’s mineral and industrial strength. This project serves to profile the leading organisations across the Minerals, Mining, Energy and Construction industries – which, together with the subsequent growth of construction, are the driving force behind Tanzania’s economy and future growth. Tanzania is world-renowned for the beauty of its landscape and the richness of its culture. For this reason, it has long attracted tourists from all corners of the earth. But there is further richness to be found beneath the landscape – its earth is laden with great mineral resources. A strategic and sustainable balance is being struck between the two layers of the landscape, which serves to ultimately benefit the country and its people whilst ensuring the protecting of all industries involved. A major part of this growth is the Infrastructure industry – without which the Resources industry could not sustain itself. Infrastructure is a major blessing for any country – most especially a developing nation. Tanzania is joining the forefront in African development and this momentous era needs to be shared with the world at every step. As the inaugural volume of Resources Tanzania, this publication serves to highlight the progress
of this journey as well as its future visions of growth and development. It is a documentation and recognition for all who are involved in the Resources and Infrastructure industries of Tanzania and those who plan to get involved – as well as to share in the pride of all Tanzanians. Resources Tanzania has proved to be a vital tool for decision makers in business and government who are in search of information on Tanzania’s industrial capabilities, best practices, sustainability and superior returns on investment. It also serves as a memento to create awareness amongst international investors, readers and policy makers, inspiring growth and recognition of the abilities and contribution this sector brings to the country. Companies and organisations across the industry sector are profiled in Resources Tanzania as a showcase of their achievements and value proposition. The informative and pictorial pages that follow share the missions, visions and strategies for future growth and sustainability of Tanzania’s Resources industry’s top contributors. This serves as a complete compilation of Tanzania’s biggest growing industry and major economic contributor. The country is filled to the brim with potential for visitors and investors. We are proud to present to Tanzania and the world the inaugural edition of Resources Tanzania and to be able to share the succsess stories of our participants and partners.

Industry Overview Tanzania is a resource-laden country. The land of this east-African nation is rich in a variety of mineral deposits. Through good governance and management, Tanzania has begun to reap the rewards of this blessing and the bounty is beginning to meet the needs of its people. Tanzania’s reputation in Africa had helped to bring similar growth to this industry, which had previously seen devastation in the form of what is known as the mineral ‘curse’ on the continent. This is no more, as stringent policies and international investment have helped secure the resources industry – most notably in Tanzania.
History Mining in Tanzania first started in the pre-colonial era with Arab and local traders. They successfully mined and sold gold, copper, iron, and salt.Under the German colonial administration in the 1890s, the country’s first commercial mining for gold began in the Lake Victoria area. During the 34 years of German Administration between 1884 and 1918, it is estimated that the total value of minerals produced (mostly gold and mica), was between 7-million Shillings and 10-million Shillings.
The sector has been considerably strengthened by these efforts. The government undertook a mineral sector restructuring programme to encourage and promote private sector-led development. This was coupled with the accumulation of geo-data which revealed Tanzania’s diverse mineral resources base and its subsequent potential. The strengthening of the sector was reinforced by the legislation implemented in 1997 and 1998 reinforced. In 2008, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development(UNCTAD) issued its World Investment Report which showed that Tanzania ranked as one of the top non-oil African countries in terms of foreign direct investment (FDI) receipts. This was propelled by the establishment and development of Tanzania’s mining sector where a number of large gold mines were established.
The Investment Promotion Centre was created in the early 1990s with the Investment Promotion Policy. The mining industry then began to expand and attract international investors.
Overview Numerous British and South African mining operations began in the 1920s and 1930s, discovering diamonds in the Mwadui area. The Second World War brought a ban on gold prospecting, which slowed mining activity in Tanzania.
Tanzania is the fourth largest gold producer in Africa,following South Africa, Ghana and Mali. Gold production stands at approximately 40 tonnes per year. Tanzania also produces 2980 tonnes of copper, 10 tonnes of silver and 112670 carats of diamond. The mining sector contributes 2.8% to GDP each year, which is expected to rise considerably.
After independence in 1961, the state bought the mining sectorunder direct control through institutions such as the National Development Corporation (NDC) and State Mining Corporation (STAMICO). Only in the mid-1980s did government begin the process of privatising and liberalising the mines.
Business Monitor International (BMI) forecasts an average annual growth in mining of 7.7% between 2011 and 2015 in Tanzania, as well as doubling value between 2010 and 2015 - from US$0.64billion to US$1.28-billion.
The Investment Promotion Centre was created in the early 1990s with the Investment Promotion Policy. The mining industry then began to expand and attract international investors.
Also widely known for its magnificent scenic beauty in its sweeping plains of abundant wildlife and pristine beaches, Tanzania has even more on offer under the surface. Maintaining a balance between

In a country that already has a vibrant and profitable tourism industry, the combination of a momentum-generating minerals industry which does not adversely affect tourist resources, is an encouraging equilibrium.
the two major industries of tourism and resources is of utmost priority. Protecting the environment and wildlife must always be considered to go hand-in-hand with economic advancement in any industry – and Tanzania’s business leaders are well aware of this.
Infrastructure and employment Currently the driving force behind Tanzania’s economic growth is the Minerals, Mining and Energy Industry – and the country is cleverly riding the wave in a sustainable manner. This growth has resulted in an influx of international investment which is further driving projects as well as employment generation. The biggest beneficiary of this growth so far is the country’s infrastructure, which is being upgraded as a result of the boom. This is to the benefit of all Tanzanians for generations to come. For this reason, when looking into the Minerals industry of Tanzania one must include the infrastructure projects which help support and sustain the boom.
Development Vision 2025 In a country that already has a vibrant and profitable tourism industry, the combination of a momentum-generating minerals industry which does not adversely affect tourist resources, is an encouraging equilibrium. This generates great faith in the achievability of the country’s Development Vision for 2025 – and faith usually translates directly into investor confidence and therefore a strengthened economy. Tanzania’s Mining sector alone is projected to account for 10 per cent of the country’s GDP in 2025, according to the Development Vision. It is one of the leading factors inforeign exchange earnings generation. Its potential for employment opportunities cannot be ignored –as well as its ability to possibly spearhead a linkage in the country’s economy.
Mineral potential Tanzania has a great potential of immense endowments particularly with gold, base metals, diamonds, ferrous minerals and a various
48
gemstones. The most notable gemstone is the tanzanite – which is unique to Tanzania and increasingly popular across the world. The industry also provides attractive rates in its availability of coal, uranium, and various industrial minerals. These industrial metals include soda, kaolin, tin, gypsum, phosphate and dimension stones. It is no wonder that the country’s infrastructure can benefit so directly from this industry – with ready availability of industrial metals.
Policy and support The Mineral Policy of Tanzania, 1997 stresses private sector-led mineral development with major roles of government as regulating, promoting and facilitating. There are a number of organisations which support and regulate the industry, helping government maintain its health, sustenance and growth. Starting in the mid-1980s and in line with the Mineral Policy of Tanzania 1997, Mineral Act 1998, and Fiscal Package 1998, Tanzania’s government has taken on a number of reforms to restructure mining in Tanzania to move towards private sector development and market management. The government commenced creating constructive partnerships to promote economic growth. The role of government has therefore moved from operation and ownership of mines, to providing clear policy guidelines, stimulating private investment and providing investor support.
Public roles: • Policy formulation to accommodate the overall and sectoral government policy framework; • Advising on legislation, regulation and fiscal matters related to the sector; • Revenue collection through royalties, annual rents, prospecting rights and licenses; • Monitoring of mining activities; • Collection and maintenance of geo-technical data for promotional purposes; • Provision of extension services to small scale miners; • Administration and inspection of mining activities; and • Carrying out research on minerals.
Mineral policy objectives: • to stimulate exploration and mining activities; • to regulate and improve artisanal mining; • to ensure that wealth generated from mining support sustainable economic and social development; • to minimise or eliminate adverse social and environmental impact of mining activities; • to promote and facilitate mineral and mineral based products’ marketing arrangements; • to alleviate poverty especially for artisan and small scale miners; • to promote and develop Tanzania as the gemstone centre of Africa. Tanzania Exporters Association (TANEXA) - the premiere trade association representing growers, exporters and service providers in exportation. Formed on 25 August 1994 under the Society (Application for Registration) Rules, 1954 with registration No. SO 8212, when exportation of goods and services was at its infancy, the society has grown a core sectoral trade association. Members are involved in growing and exporting farm produce, manufacturing mines and fresh produce. TANEXA provides a focal and coordination point for the export industry. They support growers and exporters by providing technical and marketing information centres and run an active lobbying and advocacy program to enhance competitiveness. Tanzania Geological Society - The Geological Survey of Tanzania (GST) is the government agency responsible for the acquisition and storage of geoscientific data and information used in the mineral resources sector and other sectors of
the economy. GST is active in promoting mineral exploration and mining in Tanzania. GST core activities range from geological mapping, mineral exploration, evaluation, and processing, and research work on geological processes and mineral systems and geohazards. GST’S vision is to evolve as a centre of excellence providing national geoscientific data and information for use in the evaluation and sustainable utilization of natural resources. GST maintains a balance of resources between its primary responsibilities of conducting geological mapping, geodata management, technological and conceptual research and development, and providing services to both public and private sector. Tanzania Chamber of Minerals and Energy committed to the sustainability of their mining operations and the strict adherence to all relevant environmental laws and regulations. Comprehensive Environmental Management Plans are developed for each mining site to cover all stages of the mining process, and include measures such as bore hole monitoring and topsoil replacement. A number of TCME members also run corporate social investment CSI programmes with an environmental focus.

Vision Statement Richard Kasesela, Chairman Mining Advisory Board, MINISTRY OF ENERGY AND MINERALS the government embarked upon a process of privatisation and liberalisation. In 1993, the Government of Tanzania created the Investment Promotion Centre under the Investment Promotion Policy, following which the mining industry began to expand and attract international investors. Government efforts to undertake a mineral sector restructuring programme to encourage and promote private sector led development, have been combined with the accumulated geo-data revealing Tanzania’s diverse mineral resources base and potential. The importance of the mining sector in any economy depends on the forward and backward economic linkages which the sector has to bring. The sector is supposed to be a big market to locally produced goods and services, such as labour, power, food stuff and industrial goods, rather than being an importer of these services and goods. The sector has to do value addition rather than exporting raw minerals, and in some cases, even exporting sand – otherwise it would lead to low revenue collection and a decrease in employment opportunities.
In the early days of Tanzania, Arab and local traders mined and sold the country’s natural resources including gold, copper, iron, and salt. The first mining for gold was undertaken in the area surrounding Lake Victoria under the German colonial administrations in the 1890s. During the 1920s and 1930s, a number of British and South African mining operations opened and diamonds were discovered in the Mwadui area.

Although as much as 70% of Tanzania’s population engage in agriculture, for many years the country has been considered a mining economy. In 2009, Tanzania’s gold export was over 40 tonnes. It has ranked as the fourth largest gold producing country in Africa. The country is blessed with deposits of precious metals, gemstones, and natural gases, as well as industrial minerals like coal, uranium, iron ore, and limestone, to mention the few. Tanzania is widely recognised for its highly prospective geological formations with large areas remaining under-explored. Despite all the value, the GDP contribution still remains at 2.8%. Confirmed minerals that have been identified in Tanzania include gold, iron ore, nickel, copper, cobalt, silver, diamond, tanzanite, ruby, garnet, limestone, soda ash, gypsum, salt, phosphate, coal, uranium, gravel, sand and dimension stones. One of His Excellency President Jakaya Kikwete’s election promises was to review mining policy so
that it contributes more to the GDP and welfare of Tanzanians. In an effort to reverse the situation and make sure that the mining sector contributes to development, the government introduced several measures. Among these was to set up a commission to revisit mining contracts in the country and come up with the new Mining Policy of 2009 and later The Mining Act of 2010. Tanzania also established the Judge Bomani Commission which came up with constructive proposals that sought for both policy and legislative reforms in the sector. The government of the United Republic of Tanzania joined the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI) in November 2008 and started implementing the initiative in January 2010. This came after the formation of the Multi Stakeholder Group (MSG), which comprises five representatives from government and mining companies, as well as five representatives from civil societies. The initiative revolves around the promotion of transparency and accountability of revenues from minerals, oil and gas. There are strategies to increase forward valueaddition of minerals, including the development of action plans for the value chains, as well as to increase backward value-addition or local content in the supply of technologies and inputs used in the exploration, development and mining of domestic resources. Revenue generation currently coming from mining companies’ taxes, duties and royalties, are estimated at over US$250-billion every year. These revenues can be invested in public service provision, such as healthcare, education and infrastructure. This goes hand-in-hand with job creation. The mines create employment opportunities both directly for the mining companies and also indirectly throughout the Tanzanian economy thanks to the demand created by the industry’s presence. We highly welcome investors in the mining sector and other extraction resources available in Tanzania.

Tanzanite Tanzania is the only place in the world where the extraordinary precious Tanzanite gem is found.
Taking its name from the country whose earth created it over many millennia, Tanzanite was given its name by Tiffany & Co. Varying in colour from deep blue to purple, Tanzanite was only first discovered in 1967 in the Mererani Hills of Northern Tanzania, near the city of Arusha and the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro – the only known place in the world where the rare gem is found. Tanzanite’s colour is dependent on the crystal orientation and is therefore noted for its remarkable light reflection which seemingly changes colour. Once cut and polished, Tanzanite becomes a kaleidoscope of royal blue, violet, indigo, lilac and periwinkle. It is this unique vibrant colour, which gives Tanzanite it’s immediately recognisable identity and contributes to its special positioning in both the gemstone and the fine jewellery markets.
History Tanzanite was discovered recently in 1967 and when geologists realised it was a ‘never seen before’ gemstone, it came to the attention of Tiffany & Co who named it Tanzanite (after Tanzania – the country where it comes from, and Zoisite – the gemstone family it belongs to). This identification by the Gemological Institute of America was corroborated by mineralogists at Harvard University, the British Museum, and Heidelberg University; however credit for first correct identification is given to a Tanzanian government geologist in Dodoma, Ian McCloud. Since Tiffany & Co. first marketed the gem as Tanzanite, it has become one of the most coveted stones in the world. Tanzanite is as hard as garnet, emerald or amethyst and is commonly used in necklaces and earrings.

World’s largest Tanzanite The largest faceted Tanzanite in the world is 737.81 carats. The “Queen of Kilimanjaro” is one of the most renowned Tanzanites and is 242 carats and set in a tiara with 803 brilliant cut tsavorite garnets and 913 brilliant cut diamonds – which is owned by Michael Scott, the first CEO of Apple Computers. In August 2005, the biggest known Tanzanite crystal was found in a mine controlled by TanzaniteOne, weighing 16,839 carats (3.4 kg) and measuring 22 cm × 8 cm × 7 cm.
Mining After discovery in 1967 through to nationalisation in 1972, it was estimated that two-million carats of Tanzanite were mined in Tanzania. Through the mining of Tanzanite, the Tanzanian government earns approximately US$20-million a year. The US market is the biggest consumer of Tanzanite gems and sales total approximately US$500-million per year. Tanzanite was named the gemstone of the 20th century, but the journey of each stone began millions of years before that. A geological phenomenon, Tanzanite is found in unusual elevations on a vast plain in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro. Tanzanite crystals grew here under the ground – hidden from the eye of man until 1967. Through strict regulation and membership of 90 percent of merchants becoming official members of the International Coloured Gemstone Association (ICA), Tanzanite trade has been protected against unethical practices and is passed on along reputable trade routes to established cutting-centres and major jewellers worldwide. Tanzanite stones reflect the person who wears
them – often described as immaculate, elegant, and rare. Large good quality Tanzanites are highly sought after; not only because of their exquisite colour, but also the exclusivity that comes with their origin in Tanzania.
Rare Tanzanite is a rare and precious gemstone and is 1,000 times rarer than diamond. Tanzanite’s formation is so unusual that it has been described as a ‘geographical phenomenon’. The world’s only known source is a thin strip of land at the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro in Northern Tanzania, East Africa. Experts maintain that the chance of Tanzanite occurring elsewhere is ‘one in a million’. Tanzanite is an unparalleled stone with such rarity, that it has its own category in the triad made up of diamonds, gemstones, and Tanzanite.
Tanzanite’s colour is dependent on the crystal orientation and is therefore noted for its remarkable light reflection which seemingly changes colour.
Birthstone In 2002, the American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) selected tanzanite as the December birthstone, adding it to a list of birthstones unchanged since 1912. However, Tanzanite is generally regarded as the stone of new life and new beginnings; as blue has always been a sacred, spiritual colour to the Maasai. Customarily, only women who have been blessed with fertility have the honour of wearing blue beads and fabric.
Heirloom With a finite supply from a single source, Tanzanite is an heirloom to be passed on from generation to generation. This generation may be the last of its first time owners – ‘the tanzanite generation’. With thanks to The Tanzanite Experience and the Tanzanite Foundation.

Oil & Gas The recent discovery on oil and gas has opened doors for new channels of investment in Tanzania.
• Manage exploration for oil and gas • Advise the government on petroleum production data • Undertake the management of strategic fuel reserves • Undertake trading in petroleum products With respect to investors, TPDC is a signatory to all production sharing agreements (PSAs) entered into between the investors and the Government of Tanzania. TPDC monitors the implementation of PSAs and advises the Tanzanian government on various compliance issues.
The Exploration license and Development license According to the Act, any person wishing to explore for petroleum, can only do so after grant of an exploration license. This license affords its holder the exclusive right to explore for petroleum and carry on other incidental operations over the exploration area granted. The initial period of an exploration license is four years, which can be extended twice for a four and three year period.
97
Legislation Governing Oil and Gas
Regulation and Monitoring
The Petroleum (Exploration and Production) Act No 27 of 1980 is the legislative framework for the exploration and production of oil and gas in Tanzania, this includes both Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar. The application of the Act is restricted to any naturally occurring hydrocarbon, whether in gaseous, liquid or solid state, or in any other substance but excludes coal or substances extracted from coal.
The oil & gas sector is currently governed by the Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM), whilst regulation of the industry is done by the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC).
The Role of TPDC: • Promote and monitor exploration for oil and gas • Conduct research relating to and developing the oil and gas industry
The Petroleum Act provides that an exploration license can only be granted to an individual who is a citizen of Tanzania, in case of other body corporate, a physical presence in Tanzania is sufficient. On the other hand, only companies incorporated in Tanzania will be eligible for a development license. A development license grants its holder the exclusive right to carry on exploration and development operations over the development area, to sell or otherwise dispose of any petroleum recovered from that area and to undertake any other auxiliary operations.
Acquiring an Oil and Gas Block for Exploration The Government of Tanzania issues a Block through MEM and TPDC. The government identifies potential areas after extensive research including collection of 2D seismic data. The Government presents this information during the launch of the Licensing Round. This round is opened to any potential investors who are interested in bidding for the said blocks. This gives the investor an opportunity to view the data that TPDC has on the blocks and ask questions related to the bidding process.
The oil & gas sector is currently governed by the Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM), whilst regulation of the industry is done by the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC).
A potential investor interested in bidding for a block, must first purchase the general information and bid documents as provided by TPDC on respective blocks. This information must be analyzed and a detailed report must be provided to TPDC with the fulfillment of all other requirement as stipulated in the Invitation for Bids Tender document. A successful bidder (Company) will be required to negotiate and sign a Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) with TPDC. The PSA sets out obligation of each party including cost to be incurred, time frames and schedule of profit sharing should the Block yield any product. Upon execution of a PSA, TPDC will then apply for an exploration license from MEM. Once MEM has issued the said license, TPDC will transfer rights to the company. In the event that exploration has yield feasible oil or gas deposits, TPDC will acquire on behalf of the company a Development license from MEM. The development phase involves extraction and sales of products.

East Africa – the new energy frontier Africa is home to some of the world’s fastest-growing economies, many of them buoyed by new oil and gas finds, including Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Ghana. Africa’s proven reserves of natural gas have grown over 140%.
the medium- to long-term. Tanzania increased the size of its original estimates for natural gas reserves substantially in 2012. Recent further discoveries of sizable natural gas reserves in Tanzania and Mozambique point to significant upward potential for these figures. East Africa has become the continent’s newest energy frontier – spurred by the recent offshore discoveries of natural gas in Tanzania. Substantial finds of natural gas in Mozambique and Tanzania have also lifted the prospects for these countries to become major exporters of LNG over the medium- to long-term. Energy analysts believe that a focus on LNG may see Tanzania and Mozambique develop the region through gas-fired power stations and plants converting gas to fuel.
Substantial natural gas discoveries place Tanzania in new league Tanzania’s shallow water natural gas reserves of around two tcf have already been commercialised for the domestic market. Recent natural gas discoveries in Tanzanian deep sea have increased hopes and potential prospects for the hydrocarbon industry in the country.
There are great expectations for the Oil and Gas sector in East Africa, with many new discoveries making it onto investors’ radars all from across the globe – as detailed in KPMG’s report on “OIL AND GAS IN AFRICA - AFRICA’S RESERVES, POTENTIAL AND PROSPECTS” (kpmgafrica.com). For East Africa, oil still remains an elusive offshore discovery. In 2012, Reuters noted that the
151
geology in East Africa is favourable for oil, but the geography is mostly not. Exploration is still underway. Uganda is expected to become an oil producer over the medium-term. Kenya is speedily developing some of its onshore and offshore gas potential. Tanzania – which already is a small gas producer – could become a much larger gas producer over
On 18 October 2012, Tanzania raised its estimate of recoverable natural gas reserves to 33 tcf from 28.74 tcf, following recent big discoveries offshore. Gas strikes off East Africa’s seaboard have led to predictions that the region could become the world’s third-largest exporter of natural gas over the long-term. By June 2012, Tanzania had nearly tripled its estimate of recoverable natural gas resources to up to 28.74 tcf from 10 tcf following major discoveries by firms like Statoil ASA, Ophir Energy
and BG Group. According to Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC), about 61 wells have been drilled in Tanzania both offshore and onshore during the past 60 years. According to the US EIA, Tanzania had 0.23 tcf of proven natural gas reserves in 2012 - with upward revisions to this number likely in the coming years, after the recent number of large discoveries. It is estimated that Tanzania’s upside potential is as much as 60 tcf of natural gas. It is reasonable to expect that the next five to ten years would see continuing exploration. To commercialise Tanzania’s offshore reserves of natural gas will take time; estimates are between seven years and a decade. According to the IMF, after commercial declaration, this would be followed by design and negotiation of investment proposals. If an LNG export project were to advance, the Fund projects that cumulative foreign direct investment into Tanzania could be in the US$20-billion to US$30-billion range. According to the IMF, the peak level of investment could be concentrated in the 2017-2020 period with production starting between 2020 and 2025. The IMF projects that at a price of US$10 per 1,000 cubic feet in the Far East export market, Tanzania’s export earnings from gas could significantly exceed US$3-billion annually (10% of 2012 GDP).

Tanzania’s Mineral Endowments Tanzania has enormous mineral wealth and further great potential most notably for gold, diamonds, base metals, ferrous minerals and an extensive range of gemstones, including the world-renowned Tanzanite. Coal, uranium and various industrial minerals such as soda, kaolin, tin, gypsum, phosphate and dimension stones are widely available. The following minerals have recently attracted interest: • Gold found in greenstone belts located east and south of Lake Victoria, and rock formation in southern and south-west of the country; • Basemetals found in belt running from Kagera through Kigoma to Mbeya, Ruvuma and Mtwara regions, and, • Gemstones, which are found in eastern and western belts running from Kenya border in north to Mozambique in the south, and Mbeya and Rukwa regions. Gold and diamonds have always been the forerunners of the country’s mineral production. Tanzania has been a significant diamond producer for a number of decades, with the bulk of production coming from the Mwadui area where commercial production began in 1925. But gold is the resource currently offering one of the best areas for growth and investment. Tanzania also has abundant mineral reserves of nickel, copper, titanium, cobalt and platinum and even salt. Tanzania continues to attract some of the largest mining companies in the world. The colour gold in the Tanzanian flag represents the country’s mineral wealth – and is a source of great pride and significance among the Tanzanian people.
Gold Gold exploration grew rapidly during the 1990s in Tanzania due to modern technology and refined models. Since then, several major gold discoveries have been made and much larger mines are entering production. Tanzania now boasts a gold
52
reserve of 45 million ounces and is the third-largest gold producer in Africa. Tanzania has been the major focus of Africa’s gold exploration and development over the past five years. The country has recently gained hugely due to its gold production and exports. The substantial gold price gain also helped reap rich dividends. Up to 15% of Africa’s exploration expenditure has been spent in Tanzania – which many think has Africa’s largest gold reserves, after South Africa. Nearly all major developments in Tanzania have been seen in the gold industry.
Tanzania also has abundant mineral reserves of nickel, copper, titanium, cobalt and platinum and even salt. Tanzania continues to attract some of the largest mining companies in the world.
Opportunities for prospective gold can be found in the former mines in the Archaean Greenstone belts around Lake Victoria, Proterozoic rocks in the south-west, banded iron formations (BIF), tufts, volcano-sedimentary exhalative, and conceptual grass root plays in Karoo and younger rocks. Several world-class gold deposits have been discovered in the Lake Victoria Goldfields and are currently at different stages of development.
Diamonds Over 300 kimberlites are known in Tanzania, of which 20% are diamondiferous. Over 600 potential areas with geophysical characteristics favourable for diamonds have been identified during geophysical surveys. Alluvial diamonds have been recorded but a large deposit for economic exploitation is yet to be found. The Williamson Diamond Mine (also known as the Mwadui Mine) is a famous diamond mine

in Tanzania. It became well known as the first significant diamond mine outside of South Africa. The mine was established in 1940 by Canadian Geologist Dr. John Williamson. It has been in continuous operation ever since, making it one of the oldest continuously operating diamond mines in the world. Over its lifetime, it has produced over 19 million carats (3,800kg) of diamonds.
Base Metals and Platinum Group Minerals (PGM) Geologically, both Archaean and Protozoic rocks are prospective for base metals and PGM. Recent exploration in north-west Tanzania has revealed extensive nickel-cobalt-copper mineralisation. Sutton Resources is evaluating the resources where diamond drilling has so far revealed resources of 500,000 tonnes nickel, 75,000 tonnes copper and 45,000 tonnes cobalt. In addition, chromium and platinum group metals (PGM) have been recorded. Substantial deposits of nickel and cobalt have been found in the Kagera region. There is also an indication of stratiform copper-silver-uranium type mineralisation in the Shinyanga region. Basemetals are found in a belt running from Kagera through Kigoma to Mbeya, Ruvuma and Mtwara regions: recent evaluations have so far outlined contained resources of 500,000 tonnes nickel, 75,000 tonnes copper and 45,000 tonnes cobalt.
Ferrous Metals Numerous iron ore bodies have been identified in the Proterozoic rocks. Titaniferous magnetic bodies associated with anorthositic gabbro occur at Liganga – close to the coal resources of Ketewaka-Mchuchuma. Shallow drilling established a resource of 45 million tonnes with a grading of 52% Fe. Titanium resources are also known in beach sands along the Tanzanian coast.
Tin-Tungsten Tin and Tungsten have been produced from both lode, alluvial and eluvial deposits from the Karagwe Tinfields in the extreme northwest of
54
Tanzania. Mineralisation is associated with the Late Proterozoic Karagwe-Ankolean System.
Gemstones Tanzania is endowed with various coloured gemstones including the beautiful Tanzanite. Tanzanite is mined at Mererani from weathered rock, sometimes in association with bands of other minerals. Other gemstones mined in Tanzania include ruby, rhodolite, sapphire, emerald, amethyst, chrysoprase, peridot and tourmaline. Recently, a major alluvial occurrence was discovered in the southern region of Ruvuma, Mtwara and Lindi. Varieties include chrysoberyl, spinels, sapphire, garnets, zircons and diamonds. The majority of gemstones are exported uncut. Great potential exists in the establishment of lapidary and jewellery manufacturing industry.
Tanzanite The price of tanzanite, found only in the Kilimanjaro foothills, continues to strengthen – a reflection of the rarity of this mineral and the evolution of a still growing worldwide market. Tanzanite One Limited (TanzaniteOne), which is also involved in the cutting, polishing and marketing of tanzanite, is the largest-scale miner of the gemstone. Tanzanite is a rare blue zoisite which occurs in the Proterozoic metamorphic rocks of the Usagaran and Ubendian Systems. Its colour ranges from royal blue to violet.
Carbonates Well over 20 carbonates associated with MesozoicCainozoic volcanics have been identified in the country which could prove to be a useful source of rare earth elements, niobium and phosphates.
Coal Coal resources similar in quality to the Gondwana coals of southern Africa occur in the Ruhuhu and Songwe-Kiwira basins in south-west Tanzania. A total of about 1 .5 billion tonnes in reserves have so far been identified.
The country’s only coal mine at Kiwira has an average annual output of 35,000 tonnes – all of which is consumed mostly locally for power generation.
Tanzania, for a 40-year operation at a mining rate of 15,000 tonnes per year of high-grade flake graphite of 97 – 98% purity. The mine will also produce Tanzanite, which occurs in association with graphite.
Industrial Minerals Good resources of limestone and dolomite of high purity occur in the white marble deposits of the Morogoro Region. Potential for dimension stone and refractory grade limestone is excellent.
Phosphate deposits have been exploited at Minjingu in the Arusha Region at around 48,000 tonnes per year, in order to support fertiliser manufacturing.
Varieties of clays – bentonite, kaolin and fullers earth – in sizeable deposits have been identified and are only scantily exploited. The Pugu kaolin deposit, located some 30km west of Dar-es-Salaam, has great potential for development. Evaporates and saline deposits of economic significance are associated with the rift valley lakes. Investigations of the soda ash deposits at Lake Natron revealed a potential recovery of over one million tonnes a year. Currently, salt production stands at 105,000 tonnes per annum. Graphite occurs in high-grade gneisses. Sufficient reserves have been identified at Merelani, northern

Impressive long-term potential for Tanzanian mining industry Tanzania’s mining industry is facing its toughest period in recent years owing to the gold price affecting the sector in 2013. However, the country has had some success in this sector, as it emerged in the late 1990s and grew robustly in the 2000s.
As a result of the last decade’s strong upward price trajectory, Tanzania’s mining industry boomed. There are still some smaller, more flexible companies that have developed less costly mines, which is creating positive momentum for gold in Tanzania. The status for other metals in the country is more positive. Tanzanite miner TanzaniteOne has registered a positive response to its partnership with State mining company Stamico. According to the company’s website, the world’s only tanzanite-producing area is located near Mount Kilimanjaro. Only 2km wide and 4km long, it is split into mining blocks A, B, C and D. TanzaniteOne holds the licence to mine the largest of these – Block C. Sophisticated hard-rock mining techniques are used at down-shaft depths of up to 900 m. Local artisanal miners mostly mine the remaining blocks. Further, mining group Petra Diamonds’ Williamson diamond mine, south of Mwanza, has also recorded significant investment in redevelopment. This has resulted not only in promising extraction results, but also, increasing the life of the mine from 20 years to 50 years, as 39.4-million carats of the major resource has been revealed. Tanzania will also be exporting uranium shortly, as uranium mining company UraniumOne is making positive progress with its uranium project in the south of Tanzania. According to Tanzanian media, the Mkuju River site is said to contain at least 36,000t in known uranium deposits. Exporting the uranium is likely to spark new

interest in the strategic metal. Several firms have good exploration projects. By proving that the industry is profitable in Tanzania, it will be easier to address challenges and raise funds.
considerable political will to secure measurable progress. The Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM) is leading government’s public pledges on action and the MEM’s targets centre on energy generation and distribution.
Challenges There has been a diplomatic push for the fasttracking of nickel production, with the US and Tanzanian government attempting to bring the idea to the surface. Power access and infrastructure remains a challenge in these areas. Investment in infrastructure will see a move away from miners’ investment in grip extensions and expensive generators.

Impressive long-term potential for Tanzanian mining industry Tanzania’s mining industry is facing its toughest period in recent years owing to the gold price affecting the sector in 2013. However, the country has had some success in this sector, as it emerged in the late 1990s and grew robustly in the 2000s.
As a result of the last decade’s strong upward price trajectory, Tanzania’s mining industry boomed. There are still some smaller, more flexible companies that have developed less costly mines, which is creating positive momentum for gold in Tanzania. The status for other metals in the country is more positive. Tanzanite miner TanzaniteOne has registered a positive response to its partnership with State mining company Stamico. According to the company’s website, the world’s only tanzanite-producing area is located near Mount Kilimanjaro. Only 2km wide and 4km long, it is split into mining blocks A, B, C and D. TanzaniteOne holds the licence to mine the largest of these – Block C. Sophisticated hard-rock mining techniques are used at down-shaft depths of up to 900 m. Local artisanal miners mostly mine the remaining blocks. Further, mining group Petra Diamonds’ Williamson diamond mine, south of Mwanza, has also recorded significant investment in redevelopment. This has resulted not only in promising extraction results, but also, increasing the life of the mine from 20 years to 50 years, as 39.4-million carats of the major resource has been revealed. Tanzania will also be exporting uranium shortly, as uranium mining company UraniumOne is making positive progress with its uranium project in the south of Tanzania. According to Tanzanian media, the Mkuju River site is said to contain at least 36,000t in known uranium deposits. Exporting the uranium is likely to spark new

interest in the strategic metal. Several firms have good exploration projects. By proving that the industry is profitable in Tanzania, it will be easier to address challenges and raise funds.
considerable political will to secure measurable progress. The Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM) is leading government’s public pledges on action and the MEM’s targets centre on energy generation and distribution.
Challenges There has been a diplomatic push for the fasttracking of nickel production, with the US and Tanzanian government attempting to bring the idea to the surface. Power access and infrastructure remains a challenge in these areas. Investment in infrastructure will see a move away from miners’ investment in grip extensions and expensive generators. The current transport infrastructure is suitable for the low volume or high-volume minerals, such as gold and gems, but to develop nickel or coal projects will require significant upgrades of ports, rails and roads to make them commercially viable. The discovery of major gas deposits in Tanzania’s deep offshore will most likely revolutionise the country’s economy in the next decade.

Mining in Tanzania under the spotlight With production imminent at Russian company Atomredmetzoloto (ARMZ) Uranium Holding’s Mkuju River mine in Tanzania, the country’s mining sector is entering a new phase in which its gold output is increasingly balanced by a more diverse mining portfolio. produce 14,000t of uranium each year during the mine life. Initial projections show that Tanzania will gain US$250-million a year in royalties from this project alone. The project is expected to create about 2,000 jobs. The project has also been approved by the United Nation’s World Heritage Committee as Mkuju was removed from the Selous Game Reserve, which is a World Heritage Site. The project will affect only about 0.69% of the game reserve.
Country Overview Jakaya Kikwete, president of Tanzania, East Africa’s second-largest economy after Kenya, is relying on revenue from the mining sector to be a key financier of its medium-term economic growth plan, which runs until 2016. The country is targeting an average growth rate of 8% a year. Several other uranium exploration firms are currently active in Tanzania but it will take an upturn in uranium demand before new projects in the country are undertaken. The licence issued to Mantra Tanzania, a subsidiary of Australia-based Mantra Resources, was the first to be granted by Tanzania under its new mining legislation. Mantra Resources is wholly owned by ARMZ Uranium Holding. According to ARMZ, the measured and indicated resources of the Mkuju River project, which is about 470km south-west of Dar es Salaam, are estimated at 36,000t of uranium, of which 10,000t are in the inferred category. The average grade is 0.024% to 0.025% of uranium and Mantra Tanzania expects to
Tanzania implemented a new mining law in 2010 that aims to ensure that the nation reaps maximum benefits from the sector. The new law increased royalties to 5% for uranium, diamonds and uncut gemstones, 4% for gold and all metallic minerals, 3% for industrial and other minerals and 1% for gems. Small and medium-sized producers are the future of the gold mining sector in Tanzania with several firms active in the country. Additionally, nickel, rare-earth elements and coal are being explored, but nothing appears to be in the short-term pipeline for development.

Tanzanian diamond mine increases capacity Mining group Petra Diamonds reports that it is looking to extend the life of its Williamson diamond mine in Tanzania’s Shinyanga region, from 20 years to more than 50 years, following the completion of the first phase of its development programme.
The programme, which involved a substantial rebuild of the existing plant and major pit reshaping work, revealed a major resource of 39.4-million carats on the Mwadui kimberlite upon which the mine is based. Williamson is the world’s largest economic kimberlite by surface area at 146ha in size. It is Tanzania’s only important diamond producer and despite having been operated continuously since 1940, the pit is only 90m at its deepest point owing to the large size of the deposit. Petra is now implementing an expansion plan to increase production from about 160,000 ct/y in the 2013 financial year to about 300,000 ct/y by 2017. It plans to increase run-of-mine production to about 3.6-million tonnes in the 2014 financial year, before steadily increasing to about 5-million tonnes a year by 2017. An expansion plan above this level is dependent upon security of appropriate electricity and water supply. The mine, which underwent extensive development to increase its capacity last year, also saw its treated tonnage increase by 436%. Petra Diamonds is an independent diamond mining group and an increasingly important supplier of rough diamonds to the international market. The company has interests in eight producing mines.

Tanzanite supplier to meet Chinese demand Exploration and production company Richland Resources reports that it will sell finished tanzanite stones into China, following a selling agreement with Chinese jeweller Chow Tai Seng.
The miner specialises in the mine-to-market supply channel for precious gemstones through its wholly owned subsidiary company, TanzaniteOne Mining. The contract was awarded at the beginning of September 2013 after a long period of discussion on the material, implementation and marketing of the product. Chow Tai Seng will sell cut-to-order stones through its 2,200 jewellery stores across China. They will announce a launch event in the near future, after which the stones will be seen in its jewellery stores. Over the last five years, the coloured-stone segment of the retail market has shown the most growth. Tanzanite has gained popularity in China, owing to the alluring colour and genuine scarcity of the gem.
Operating in Tanzania The company has a long-held strategy of aligning with downstream projects. TanziniteOne has developed specialised cutting facilities and improved Tanzanite cuts, which work in tandem with the ethical way in which the tanzanite is mined. Although it offers a stable economic environment, Tanzania has also presented a number of challenges, including illegal mining. In September 2013, the company won a number of Presidential awards for corporate social responsibility and empowerment. The company took first place in both the water and empowerment categories, and was second in the education and employment categories. The company also took second place overall in the medium-scale mineral projects category.

Miner brings in partner for Tanzania nickel project In September 2013, Australian metals developer IMX Resources agreed to a US$60-million farm-in deal with global resources company MMG Exploration Holdings over the company’s Nachingwea project, which includes the Ntaka Hill nickel sulphide deposit, in Tanzania. The Ntaka Hill project, which is a potential open pit mine, is located about 250km from the Port of Mtwara, Tanzania, and currently has a Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant measured and indicated resource of 120,000t of contained nickel, as well as an inferred resource of 238,000t of nickel at an average grade of 0.66% nickel. A 2012 scoping study placed a price tag of some US$230-million on the development of the Ntaka Hill project to deliver a yearly production of between 10,000t and 15,000t of nickel. The earn-in period between IMX and MMG would stretch over five years and would be structured over three stages. MMG would become the manager of the JV and would initially focus on deep drilling at the Ntaka Hill prospect, while accelerating assessment of the regional setting. Stage 1 expenditure and 15% earn-in imply a pre-money valuation of some AUS$61-million for the Nachingwea project, which is a substantial premium to the company’s own value calculation on the project. The deeper exploration programme will lend itself to a partnership with a larger company such as MMG to manage the higher cost of the programme and also bring to bear additional technical capability. The agreement with MMG will ensure a wellfunded exploration programme to provide a path towards production, should it prove successful. Ntaka is planned to be brought into production in 2015, with the first product shipment expected in early 2016.

We’re committed to developing tomorrow’s technology and solving today’s challenges. Thats the power of partnership.
As commodity prices come under increasing pressure globally, miners are seeking new ways to improve productivity while lowering total overall costs. A leader in mining services globally, Orica has made long term commitments to Africa and is focused on contributing to the success of its customers in the region. “In Tanzania we have a range of customers with unique mining needs” said Wayne Sterley, Manager Africa. “First and foremost, safety is paramount. But the need to reduce total mining costs and improve productivity through varying geological conditions is an important driver right now” he added. As the global leader in blasting, a leader in ground support and supplier of mining chemicals Orica is well positioned to support this drive for productivity improvements.
Integrated offer The integration of Orica’s explosives, mining chemicals and ground support teams into one African business unit is a positive outcome for customers according to Hazel Koen, Customer Communications Coordinator for Africa. “It means we are now taking a ‘total solutions’ approach, making it easier for our mining customers to access all our products and services,” She said. The ground support business was previously known as Minova and includes steel and chemical
103
products designed to achieve safe and productive operations throughout Africa. Minova had been a part of the Orica Group of companies since 2007 but the decision was taken this year to integrate the businesses completely – “reducing complexity, improving services and providing customers with greater access to the full portfolio” according to Ms Koen. Orica’s mining chemicals portfolio includes sodium cyanide and a broad range of chemicals for the mining and mineral processing industry. The blasting offer includes bulk and packaged explosives, electronic blasting systems and a range of services to optimise operational and technical performance. As the mines of Tanzania focus on production challenges like mill productivity, rate of advance, ore dilution and wall control, the careful selection of blasting products can make a meaningful difference. “If you take rock fragmentation for example, you can make improvements in the drill & blast process that flow right throughout the entire mining value chain” said Ms Koen. “For metal mines that’s particularly important because improvements in post blast fragmentation can improve digging and hauling productivity and by optimising the size of the rock fragment that arrives at the mill, you can also improve throughput rates and reduce your emissions per tonne”, she added.
Technology investment Orica has long made a commitment to the development of new mining technology. Mr Donald O’Connor who heads up product development for ground support said that the
African operation was well integrated with the global product development effort, benefitting from worldwide resources as well as contributing expertise. “Our focus here in Africa is on integrated drilling, bolting and grouting solutions for underground mines.” A recent advance of note for the blasting portfolio has been the delivery of a new range of Electronic Blasting Systems that it calls “the Next Generation”. Mr O’Connor explained that the use of electronics to initiate blasts had become a key lever of productivity in mines globally.
As the industry leader in Electronic Blasting Systems, Orica is constantly working to make our products safer, more reliable and more efficient eDev™ II is one of three systems within the Next Generation range and represents a significant advance in blasting technology.
“Effectively what you’re doing is controlling the movement of the explosive energy through the rock mass. With the precision timing of electronics, blasts can be designed in many new ways and new value can be unlocked – including reduction in support costs.” Other examples of innovation introduced in Tanzania have included an extended range of bulk explosive energies, initiating cords, boosters and the delivery systems themselves.
Capital Investment Orica has made recent capital investments in the East African region with the construction of two Ammonium Nitrate Emulsion plants to support the delivery of bulk product. “Bulk emulsion really has enabled large gains in operational productivity. Reliable and secure supply is a fundamental component of our offer to all customers – from the large global players to the smaller local sites”

We became pioneers in the minerals business; always keeping our partners and clients happy and providing them with all our knowledge and professionalism that we put into all cases. Madaba Minerals Ltd works in a joint venture with African Barrick Gold, probably one of the biggest companies operating in Tanzania, offering them the right plots and also providing the necessary licenses for exploration and extraction in Gold Mining. One of our other clients is Tancan Mining, also in a joint venture, providing them with all our services in terms of plot locations and licences. Early on in this business, we started offering the clients the best and most professional help we could – and continue to do so as one of the pioneers in this kind of business.
We provide plots and licences for mining companies to start exploration and extraction in Tanzania, in the areas of Mwanza, Geita and Shinyanga. Madaba Minerals Ltd is registered in Gold exploration. We realised there were a number of companies coming to Tanzania to start mining exploration, so we decided to start making enquiries with these companies and talk with them to establish some connections in this area. The other aim was to try to help Tanzania’s development and growth in this business - which has become one of the most important sectors of the Tanzania economy. Starting in 1992, 21 years have passed at the front

Madaba Minerals Ltd is owned by three shareholders, all of them from Tanzania, which makes us a 100% Tanzanian Company. We are also members of the Tanzania Chamber of Energy and Minerals. Tanzania as a whole has a stable economy with a growth rate of about 7% - and Madaba Minerals Ltd features in one of the most important sectors of Tanzania’s economy. In Tanzania the main mining business is gold, but also coal, nickel, as well as iron mining. There are new investments in iron mining which will be used to start building roads and other infrastructure to develop the country in areas where it’s needed especially in the interior.

Shanta Gold recognises the impact that its activities in Tanzania have on the communities and villages in the areas in which we operate. We strongly believe that success as a mining operator is founded on a strong base of community involvement. As we continue to grow, we believe the community has a very important role in also participating in growth. We are focused on putting back into the communities as we ourselves are so focused on taking mineral out of the ground.
Looking ahead, the Company recently announced its maiden reserve of nearly 500,000 ounces at New Luika as well as positive drilling results, demonstrating the significant potential of the New Luika mine. The Company is currently undertaking a review of the total resource with the intention of increasing production and extending the life of mine at New Luika. Shanta Gold continues to evaluate prospective targets on the recently acquired Shield ground within the Lupa Goldfields and good progress has been made on the upgrading of the feasibility study on its Singida licence and the Company is targeting first half 2014 for completion.

Over 90% of our approximately 650 New Luika Gold Mine employees are Tanzanian nationals. Nearly 40% of these employees are resident of local villages within close proximity of the Company’s mining operations, a figure which has increased since the mine has become operational and the Company will continue to look for new opportunities where it can employ locally. Through a number of programs, Shanta Gold has invested in the communities and it is a key focus the Company going forward. The primary objective is to help improve the quality of life of our neighbours and work as partners in the same local areas. These initiatives include helping to build and maintain roads, improving drinking water quality through drilling of bore holes which we have successful completed since our time in Western Tanzania, refurbishing schools and investing in education. As an example, we have invested in the construction of classrooms and offices in the Mbangala local villages and have plans to continue these investment programs.

Infrastructure and Construction Tanzania As further focus and investment is placed on the minerals and resources sector, freshly inspired by notable discoveries of offshore natural gas, Tanzania’s drive for improvements in infrastructure is being heightened. The biggest spin-off of this development is the positive impact which is sure to be felt by the construction industry. Tanzania’s infrastructure is improving significantly. Through great progress in road sector reforms, Tanzania is successfully improving its road network quality. Domestic air transport is also a success and the country has seen noticeable gains in the ICT network. Infrastructure contributed 1.3% to Tanzania’s annual per capital GDP growth from 2000 to 2010. Annual per capita growth rates could improve by 3.4% to meet the level of the African leaders. The area in need of most investment is Tanzania’s power sector, with 2,046 megawatts of new generation capacity needed to keep pace with demand. Other areas in need of reforms are the Dar es Salaam port and the water sector. An investment of US$2.9-billion is needed annually for 10 years in order for infrastructure targets to be met – existing spending stands at US$1.2-billion a year. Massive improvements which can be made in the infrastructure sector include corrections made to revenue pricing and collection, staffing, budget prioritisation, costs of technologies, and crossborder finance. Tanzania’s expenditure proposals have increased by 17% since 2012, allocating a large portion of the budget and indicating just how serious government is on these improvements. Through a private placement, the government recently raised over US$600-million – which is entirely targeted at infrastructure projects. Transport infrastructure, electricity and information and communications technology are among the major spending items in Tanzania’s Tsh17.7-trillion budget – as estimated by Parliament earlier in
62
2013. The proposed budget for the financial year 2013/2014 shows that the economy is growing. Tanzania’s targets aim to lift growth to 7% in 2013, 7.2% in 2014, 7.5% in 2015 and 8.5% in 2017. The economy grew 6.9% in 2012 which was above expectations. This was aided by transport and communications improvements and higher manufacturing output. The priority of the 2013/14 budget is to increase availability of electricity, develop transport infrastructure, and strengthen information and communications technology. Tanzania signed several agreements with China in early 2013, including an agreement for low-interest loans to build a new port and to develop a national information and communications technology network.
Gas findings After tests in early 2013, the British group BG Tanzania discovered a natural gas field, larger than anticipated, roughly 45km off the Mtwara coastline. This came less than a year after the major Mzia discovery. The outcomes of a number of exploration programmes are being awaited. This major positivity for the gas industry in Tanzania is the result of the on-going activities of the notable investments by the BG Group in Tanzania. Government are successfully implementing an ease of inflation plan and they are also working on a draft national gas policy with new legislation planning for 2013 to regulate the industry. Norway’s Statoil and BG recently announced that they were going ahead with plans to build a liquefied natural gas terminal in Tanzania.
The expected resultant wave of infrastructure and construction necessary to support such exploration and processing, as well as the boost to the country’s GDP and job creation, is further suggestive of Tanzania’s bright future.
Real estate and construction The Tanzania construction and real estate sectors continue to be two very exciting and developing sectors in the Tanzanian economy. The construction sector is currently experiencing a period of growth, mainly driven by recent developments in roadwork, housing and mining.
Infrastructure contributed 1.3% to Tanzania’s annual per capital GDP growth from 2000 to 2010. Annual per capita growth rates could improve by 3.4% to meet the level of the African leaders.
The Ministry of Infrastructure Development manages the construction sector and is prioritised as an important link between economic and social development. Developments within the construction sector have benefited the real estate sector through the creation of additional space. These developments have created numerous opportunities for local and foreign investors. For detailed plans in the industry, information on on-going projects and opportunities for investment in Tanzania, it is worth visiting the National Construction Council (www.ncc.or.tz), the Ministry of Works (www.mow.go.tz) and the Ministry of Transport (www.mot.go.tz).

ENGINEERS REGISTRATION BOARD The Engineers Registration Board (ERB) is a statutory body established under the Engineers Registration Act, No. 15 of 1997 and its Amendment Act No. 24 of 2007. The Board has the legal mandate of registering engineers and engineering consulting firms; as well as monitoring and regulating engineering activities and the conduct of the engineers and engineering consulting firms in Tanzania. Under the law, it is illegal for any person, engineer or engineering firm to practice the engineering profession without registration by the Board.
Eng. Prof. Ninatubu Mbora Lema Chairman, Engineers Registration Board, United Republic of Tanzania
The Board has also been given legal powers and has the obligation to withdraw the right to practice from registered engineers if found guilty of professional misconduct or professional incompetence. Registration with the Board is, thus, a license to practice engineering in Tanzania.
represents a deficit of over 75,000 engineers. The Board had also registered 169 local consulting engineering firms and 68 foreign consulting firms in different fields of engineering practice.
The Board is also mandated to promote engineering amongst local engineers and engineering consulting firms with a view to enhancing their competitiveness and promote professionalism in the engineering practice for the sustainable growth of engineering capacity in the Country.
The main challenges of the Board are therefore to keep ensuring that the engineering capacity keeps pace with the ever-changing technological environment, meets the demands of the expanding national and regional economy, as well as withstand the professional and ethical challenges and the operational environment that that go hand-in-hand with a growing private-sector driven economy.
The ERB Code of Ethics forms the basis and framework for responsible professional practice as it prescribes standards of conduct to be observed by engineers and engineering consulting firms. The Code is based on broad tenets of truth, honesty and trustworthiness, respect for human life and welfare, fairness, openness, competence and accountability; engineering excellence, protection of the environment and sustainable development. As of the end of May 2013, the Board had registered over 12,102 engineers out of whom 10,694 were Tanzanians and 1,408 were foreigners. This figure represents about one engineer to every 3,640 Tanzanians. The ideal ratio is 1:500, which

The Construction of Kigamboni, an Engineering Landmark in Dar es Salaam, was launched by His Excellency Dr. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, President of the United Republic of Tanzania.
The Board has continued to work with key stakeholders, especially the Government, engineers, training institutions, engineering and construction firms, international partners especially within the Eastern African Region, and the donor community, in addressing these challenges. The Board has recently signed a Mutual Recognition Agreement with Uganda and Kenya that will enable skills transfer amongst the signatories of the MRA. This is an important step towards achieving an integrated economy within the East African Community member countries.

construction of the Tanzania Pavilion at the 1970 Expo in Japan.
Construction services Initially, Italframe specialised in the manufacture and erection of Free Span Precast Concrete Portal Frames of clear span 8m to 36.6m - mostly used for industrial sheds, warehouses, airplane hangars and other structures. This method was designed by Corrado Tognetti as he believed it served the same purpose of Fabricated Steel Structures, but with more economic and other advantages than steel. They can be adapted to almost any type of construction - from residential houses, schools, churches, warehouses and factories. All items can be cast in-situ in the most remote areas of the country. Over the years the company has roofed more than 500,000m² with its portal framed structures. This technology was exported to Kenya, Zambia and Nigeria. During the 70s and 80s, a number of projects were successfully carried out in Kenya by Italframe’s sister company, including a major project for a steel rolling mill in Nigeria. Over the last 20 years, Italframe has mostly dealt with building projects in the commercial, residential, education and hospitality segments. After many years of managing the company, Corrado Tognetti passed away in December 2000. The company has since undergone major ownership and management restructuring, whereby new directors were appointed along with additional management and technical personnel. Operating for 50 years, there are many projects that stand out. Historical milestones include the construction of the cashew nut processing factories (CATA) in southern Tanzania in the 1970s and the

the new Serengeti Breweries plant in Mwanza and the vertical extension to the Harbour View Towers Hotel in Dar es Salaam. Italframe also undertakes government building projects and is currently building a residential block of flats for the Tanzania Police Force. They recently completed the first phase of the new headquarters of Mwanza water and sewerage authority. Their deep roots, combined with constant improvement to keep up with the times, have created the stature enjoyed today.
Health, safety, environment and quality control Health and safety of the workforce is definitely emphasised and is reflected in Italframe’s excellent records. The company makes every effort to minimise environmental impacts by way of their activities. Most work is governed by solid studies and plans carried out by professional consultants to back them in all regards. Quality is a vital component within the business.
Innovation and Technology Keeping abreast with the times is a strength and goal. Every effort is made to stay up to speed with technology to ensure the edge over the competition. There are many challenges that the Construction Industry is facing in Tanzania. The market is currently very tight in terms of competition, with a large number of contractors competing for work. This situation can be viewed positively by the general public as it has brought down the cost of construction.
Major clients Most clients are from the private sector, both local and international. Recent notable projects include
One needs to be very careful when relying mostly on price as the main criteria of awarding contracts.
In the long run, cheap tends to become very expensive. The Government, through its governing bodies such as the Contractors Registration Board, have come a long way over the last 10 years in setting up and implementing appropriate standards within the industry. This is a very positive sign of the government’s attitude towards the development of the industry and although the road ahead is still long, they will eventually succeed in their task. Other challenges are the high cost of basic construction materials and the need to import all materials related to finishing products. Italframe maximises its own resources as much as possible - with a fully-fledged Carpentry, Steel and Mechanical Workshop enabling avoiding outsourcing as much as possible. Italframe imports finishing material products directly from overseas, guaranteeing customers the use of the highest quality, whilst reducing costs. With the growth and expansion of the East African Community, it is Italframe’s intention to expand into the neighbouring member countries. They have developed into a turnkey service provider for construction. With their latest venture into property development and the launch of Equitrade Ltd, construction equipment and commodities supply company, Italframe plans to diversify into a building industry conglomerate.
