The Ministry of Minerals - Tanzania

🆕🌍Tanzania and Russia Strengthen Ties in Mineral Exploration and Investment 🔵 🏗️ 🌍 Dar es Salaam, Tanzania – The Deputy Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Minerals, Msafiri Mbibo, has extended an open invitation to investors to explore opportunities in Tanzania's mining sector, particularly in cutting-edge geological research. Meeting with representatives from Russia's Federal Agency for Mineral Resources during the Tanzania-Russian Business and Investment Forum, Mbibo highlighted the potential for partnerships aimed at uncovering new mineral-rich areas through modern technology. The discussions also laid the groundwork for a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Geological Survey of Tanzania (GST) and the Russian Federal Agency for Mineral Resources. This MoU would pave the way for collaborative mineral research, facilitating knowledge exchange and enhanced resource exploration. In a separate meeting, Mbibo engaged with the Executive Director of Business Development for Sberbank International's Sub-Saharan Africa division to explore potential funding for geological research projects. These projects would not only target mineral exploration but also address natural disaster preparedness, including monitoring for earthquakes, mudflows, and floods. Andrey Vorobiev, leading the Russian delegation, assured Tanzanian officials that the goals set forth in the meetings and forum would be realized through committed partnerships. This strategic collaboration between Tanzania and Russia underscores Tanzania's commitment to safe and sustainable investment in its vibrant mineral sector. #TanzaniaMining #InvestmentOpportunities #GeologicalResearch #RussiaTanzania #MineralExploration #SustainableDevelopment

🔎 Mining Night Award Inspires Entrepreneurial Transformation 💡 🔦 ✒ From Donut Seller to Tin Mining Mogul: Leminatha Cornel Kabigumila’s Inspiring Rise Leminatha Cornel Kabigumila, a resilient 38-year-old mother of two, has become a beacon for women in the mining industry. Recently awarded the 2023 Best Woman in Mining, Leminatha’s journey is extraordinary: from selling milk and donuts to establishing her own company, Rare Mining East Africa Ltd., with an impressive portfolio of 95 tin mining licenses and one gold license. In her early mining days, she held just four small-scale licenses. Today, fueled by her recognition at the annual Mining Night Awards, Leminatha has significantly expanded her investments. To secure additional licenses, she paid TZS 150 million in government fees, and an additional TZS 120 million to revitalize dormant licenses. Her vision has enabled her to encourage others to clear over TZS 300 million in government debts, marking her as both a business leader and community contributor. Her mining success story began in 2017 in Shinyanga’s Kahama District, later moving to Kyerwa District in Kagera, where she mines and markets tin through the Kyerwa Mineral Market. “The award gave me the strength to move forward,” she says, crediting Tanzania’s supportive mining policies and the invaluable guidance from industry leaders. She has since started NGOs, aiming to foster positive change in her community. Her plans are ambitious: Leminatha envisions exporting to global markets and setting up local factories to produce goods under her brand, LEM-NES International Ltd. "I believe this dream will come true,” she says, motivated to leave a lasting legacy for future generations. As part of the Mining for Brighter Tomorrow (MBT) initiative for 2024/25, the Tanzanian government will support young and female miners by providing licenses, equipment, vehicles, and machinery. This program, through the Ministry of Minerals, empowers those like Leminatha who are building a brighter future in mining and beyond. #TMIC2024 #TanzaniaMiningConference #WomenInMining #MiningNight2023 #ValueAddition
