Chinese Firms to Build Gold Smelter, Refineries in Tanzania
Published on: Wednesday 24 July 2019
Tanzania said on Wednesday it had awarded licenses for the construction of a mineral smelter and two gold refineries to Chinese firms, as part of government efforts to generate more revenues from the nation's mining industry.
Minerals Minister Doto Biteko said the Chinese companies would also soon be awarded licenses for mines, each of which would require investment worth more than $100 million.
He did not name the firms or give details about the mining or other projects in the East African nation, Africa's fourth-biggest gold producer after South Africa, Ghana and Mali.
