The Mining Act provides three licensing categories: Primary Mining Licenses (reserved for Tanzanians), Mining Licences (ML), and Special Mining Licences (SML). Mining Licence (ML): Capital requirement: USD100,000 – 100 million; tenure up to ten years, renewable for another ten years; issued by the Mining Commission. Special Mining Licence (SML): Capital requirement: USD100 million and above; tenure is the life of the mine or up to 25 years, renewable in 25-year periods; issued by the Mining Commission following approval by Cabinet. Both options call for the Government to have at least 16% free carried interest.
The Bank of Tanzania has introduced the Foreign Exchange (Amendment) Regulations, 2026, introducing one of the most significant changes to Tanzania’s foreign exchange framework since the Foreign Exchange Regulations, 2022. The amendments expand opportunities for non-residents to participate in Tanzania’s capital markets while introducing shorter reporting timelines and enhanced monitoring requirements for cross-border trade transactions. Together, the reforms reflect a policy objective of attracting investment while strengthening regulatory oversight of foreign exchange flows.
