In September 2025, the Minister for Minerals introduced amendments to the Mining (Local Content) Regulations, including a directing the Mining Commission to issue a list for goods and services reserved exclusively by 100% Tanzanian-owned companies.

  • Legal Services
  • Supply of Explosives & Accessories
  • Civil & Construction Works
  • Chemicals & Reagents
  • Logistics & Transportation
  • Catering & Camp Management

This initiative fosters entrepreneurship, job creation, and skills development, positioning Tanzanian businesses as key players in the resource economy. It aligns with national goals for industrialization and sustainable development.
