Naibu Waziri Wizara ya Madini, Dkt. Steven Kiruswa, amesema katika mwaka wa fedha 2026/2027, Serikali inatarajia kutumia bilioni 140 kufanya utafiti wa kubaini madini yaliyopo nchini ili kuepukana na uchimbaji wa kubahatisha.

Akizungumza Septemba 16, 2026 mkoani Mwanza wakati akifunga Mkutano Mkuu wa Jumuiya ya Wajiolojia Tanzania (TGS) Mwaka 2026, Dkt. Kiruswa amesema kupitia utafiti huo watabaini maeneo gani wapewe wawekezaji au wachimbaji wakubwa na wadogo wa madini.

"Makusanyo hayo ya asilimia 10 mfano kwa mwaka huu wa fedha tunategemea kufikia Bilioni 140 ambazo zitatumika kwa ajili ya utafiti na kupitia uamuzi huo taasisi ya Jiolojia na utafiti wa madini Tanzania itawezeshwa katika shughuli za utafiti na hatimaye kupata taarifa nyingi za Jiosayansi," amesema.

Kwa upande wake Rais wa Jumuiya hiyo ya wanajiolojia, Profesa Elisante Mshiu, ameeleza shauku ya Jumuiya hiyo kuwa ni kuundwa kwa chombo au bodi itakayosimamia sekta hiyo ya madini ili kuondoa "vishoka".

Nao baadhi ya washiriki katika mkutano wamepongeza hatua ya Serikali kutenga fedha hizo kwa ajili ya utafiti huku wakidai kuwa itaenda kuleta mabadiliko katika sekta hiyo ya madini.

Ni Mkutano mkubwa wa Madini na Uwekezaji

Washiriki 2000 kutoka mataifa 50 Duniani kushiriki

Kauli Mbiu ya Mkutano inalenga kuongeza thamani madini kwa maendelezo ya Viwanda

Serikali na Sekta Binafsi kushirikiana kuandaa mkutano huo


Waziri Mavunde azindua rasmi maandalizi ya mkutano huo

DAR ES SALAAM.

Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania Mh. Dkt. Samia S. Hassan anatarajiwa kufungua rasmi Mkutano wa Saba wa Madini na Uwekezaji Tanzania (TMIC 2026) utakaofanyika Novemba 19 hadi 21, 2026 katika Kituo cha Kimataifa cha Mikutano cha Julius Nyerere (JNICC), Dar es Salaam.

Waziri wa Madini, Anthony Mavunde, amesema serikali imeamua kujenga uchumi wa viwanda unaotokana na madini kwa kuwekeza katika uchakataji na uyeyushaji wa madini badala ya kuendelea kuuza malighafi.

Amesema kaulimbiu ya mkutano huo, "Madini Yaliyoongezwa Thamani: Chachu ya Ukuaji wa Viwanda na Uchumi," inaakisi dira ya serikali ya kuifanya Tanzania kuwa kitovu cha uchakataji wa madini barani Afrika.

Kwa mujibu wa Mhe. Mavunde, amesema Tanzania tayari ina viwanda vinane vya kusafisha dhahabu, huku Mkoa wa Dodoma ukiwa na viwanda tisa vinavyojengwa na vinavyoendelea na uzalishaji pamoja na kiwanda kikubwa cha kuyeyusha madini ya nikeli na shaba.

"Zaidi ya Sh bilioni 600 zinawekezwa katika ujenzi wa kiwanda cha chuma kitakachotumia asilimia 100 ya malighafi za ndani, huku uwekezaji mwingine ukiendelea Kigamboni na Tanga kwa ajili ya uchakataji wa madini ya 'Heavy Mineral Sands' na mradi wa madini ya niobium wa Panda Hill, Mbeya," amesema Mhe. Mavunde

Amesema, katika kuongeza ushiriki wa Watanzania kwenye sekta hiyo, thamani ya manunuzi kupitia mpango wa 'Local Content' imefikia Sh trilioni 5.1, huku bidhaa 20 zikitakiwa kuzalishwa na wazawa kwa ajili ya kuhudumia migodi mikubwa.

Amesisitiza wafanyabiashara kuzingatia uaminifu na viwango vya kimataifa ili kunufaika zaidi na fursa hizo.

Amesema sekta ya madini imeendelea kuimarisha mchango wake katika uchumi kwa kuingiza Sh trilioni 1.374 katika Mfuko Mkuu wa Serikali, kiwango kilichovuka lengo la Sh trilioni 1.2 kwa mwaka huu wa fedha.

Mhe. Mavunde, amesema Serikali imeidhinisha asilimia 10 ya mapato yote ya sekta ya madini kuelekezwa kwenye utafiti wa kina wa jiofizikia ili kuongeza maeneo yanayofahamika kuwa na madini kutoka asilimia 16 ya sasa hadi asilimia 50 ifikapo mwaka 2030.

Aidha, amesema Serikali inaandaa mfuko maalumu wa mikopo kwa wachimbaji wadogo, ambao licha ya changamoto za mitaji na teknolojia, wanachangia takribani asilimia 40 ya mapato ya sekta ya madini.

Katika hatua nyingine, amesema Serikali inaanza operesheni ya kufuta kidijitali leseni zote za madini zisizotumika. Wamiliki watakaoshindwa kuwasilisha taarifa ndani ya muda uliowekwa watapewa notisi ya siku 30 kabla ya leseni hizo kujifuta moja kwa moja.

Nae, Katibu Mkuu wa Wizara ya Madini, Mhandisi Yahya Samamba, amesema Serikali imejipanga kuhakikisha utajiri wa madini unakuwa chachu ya kukuza viwanda vya ndani, kuongeza ajira na kuimarisha uchumi kupitia uongezaji thamani badala ya kuishia kwenye uchimbaji pekee.

Amesema TMIC 2026 utawakutanisha viongozi wa Serikali, taasisi za fedha, kampuni za madini, wataalamu wa teknolojia, watafiti na wadau wengine kutoka duniani kote kujadili fursa za uwekezaji na maendeleo ya sekta hiyo.

"Huu ni wakati wa kuingia katika awamu mpya ya uwekezaji, ubunifu na ukuaji wa sekta ya madini nchini," amesema.

Kwa upande wa Katibu Mtendaji wa Chemba ya Migodi Tanzania, Mhandisi Benjamin Mchwampaka, amesema mkutano huo unatarajiwa kuwakutanisha washiriki zaidi ya 2,000 na watoa mada zaidi ya 100 kutoka mataifa zaidi ya 50, huku zaidi ya mada 20 zikijadiliwa zikiwemo sera, kodi, uwekezaji, teknolojia, nishati safi, madini ya kimkakati, uongezaji thamani na masuala ya mazingira, jamii na utawala bora (ESG).

Mchwampaka amesema TMIC 2026 pia utaweka mkazo katika maendeleo ya wachimbaji wadogo pamoja na ushirikishwaji wa wanawake na watu wenye ulemavu katika mnyororo mzima wa uongezaji thamani wa madini. Mkutano huo unatarajiwa kufungwa rasmi na Rais wa Zanzibar na Mwenyekiti wa Baraza la Mapinduzi, Dk. Hussein Ali Mwinyi.

Tume ya Madini yasisitiza uchimbaji unaozingatia sheria, afya na maendeleo endelevu

?Dodoma

Tume ya Madini imeendelea kuimarisha ukaguzi wa migodi nchini ili kuhakikisha shughuli zote za uchimbaji zinafanyika kwa kuzingatia sheria, usalama wa wafanyakazi, afya kazini na utunzaji wa mazingira, hatua inayolenga kujenga sekta ya madini yenye tija na endelevu.

Akizungumza katika Maonesho ya Nanenane yanayoendelea jijini Dodoma, Mjiolojia na Mkaguzi wa Migodi kutoka Tume ya Madini, Paschal Juma, amesema Kurugenzi ya Ukaguzi wa Migodi na Mazingira chini ya Mkurugenzi wake, Mhandisi Hamisi Kamando, ina jukumu la kusimamia na kufuatilia shughuli zote za uchimbaji ili kuhakikisha zinazingatia Sheria ya Madini, kanuni, sera na miongozo mbalimbali ya sekta hiyo.

Amesema Kurugenzi hiyo hufanya ukaguzi wa usalama na afya mahali pa kazi, hufuatilia utekelezaji wa mipango ya usimamizi wa mazingira, urejeshaji wa maeneo yaliyochimbwa pamoja na mipango ya ufungaji migodi kwa kuzingatia viwango vinavyolinda mazingira na kuhakikisha rasilimali za madini zinatumika kwa manufaa ya kizazi cha sasa na kijacho.

Aidha, amesema Kurugenzi hiyo hupitia na kuidhinisha mipango ya uchimbaji, taarifa za utendaji wa migodi na usanifu wa miundombinu ya migodi, huku ikisimamia matumizi salama ya baruti kwa mujibu wa Sheria ya Baruti, Sura ya 45, na kanuni zake.

Paschal amesema Tume ya Madini inatumia Maonesho ya Nanenane kama jukwaa la kutoa elimu kwa wananchi, wachimbaji na wadau wa sekta kuhusu matumizi sahihi ya vifaa vya kujikinga, mbinu salama za uchimbaji, utunzaji wa mazingira pamoja na uhifadhi na matumizi salama ya baruti.

Amesisitiza kuwa elimu hiyo inalenga kuongeza uelewa wa wadau, kuimarisha uzingatiaji wa sheria na viwango vya usalama, kupunguza ajali migodini na kuendeleza sekta ya madini inayochangia ukuaji wa uchumi wa taifa kwa njia endelevu.

?Kiwanda Kikubwa Afrika Mashariki Kuanza Uzalishaji Septemba,2026

?Dkt. Kiruswa Aahidi Serikali Kushughulikia Changamoto za Wawekezaji

?DC Magoti: Kisarawe Tayari kwa Mapinduzi ya Viwanda

? Kisarawe

Wilaya ya Kisarawe inaendelea kujijenga kuwa kitovu cha uzalishaji wa baruti na vilipuzi nchini, kufuatia kuanzishwa kwa viwanda viwili vinavyolenga kuongeza uzalishaji wa bidhaa hizo ndani ya nchi na kupunguza utegemezi wa uagizaji kutoka nje.

Viwanda hivyo ni Ideal Detonators Tanzania Limited, kinachotarajiwa kuwa miongoni mwa viwanda vikubwa vya aina hiyo katika Ukanda wa Afrika Mashariki, na Solar Intracom Chemicals Limited. Ideal kina uwezo wa kuzalisha tani 84,000 za baruti na vipande 50,000 vya vilipuzi kwa mwaka, huku Solar kikiwa na uwezo wa kuzalisha tani 25,000 za baruti na vipande 15,000 vya vilipuzi kwa mwaka.

Akizungumza wakati wa ziara yake Wilayani Kisarawe iliyolenga kukagua shughuli za madini, kufahamu changamoto za wawekezaji na kufuatilia utekelezaji wa miradi, Naibu Waziri wa Madini, Dkt. Steven Kiruswa, alisema uwepo wa viwanda hivyo utasaidia kuongeza upatikanaji wa baruti na vilipuzi vinavyohitajika katika shughuli za migodi na matumizi mengine nchini.

Alisema mahitaji ya baruti nchini yanakadiriwa kufikia wastani wa tani 79,548.22 kwa mwaka, pamoja na vipande 29,663.17 vya vilipuzi, hivyo uwekezaji huo ni muhimu kwa kuwa utaongeza uzalishaji wa ndani.

Dkt. Kiruswa alisema uwekezaji huo unaonesha utekelezaji wa dhana ya uongezaji thamani madini, kwa kuwa Tanzania inalenga siyo tu kuchimba madini, bali pia kuzalisha bidhaa zinazohitajika katika shughuli za uchimbaji hapa nchini.

“Baruti ni miongoni mwa bidhaa muhimu katika shughuli za madini, kwani huwezesha wachimbaji kuyafikia madini. Uzalishaji wa bidhaa hizi hapa nchini utaongeza upatikanaji wake na kupunguza utegemezi wa bidhaa kutoka nje,” alisema Dkt. Kiruswa.

Kuhusu changamoto ya soko la ndani iliyowasilishwa na Solar Intracom Chemicals, Dkt. Kiruswa alisema Wizara inalichukua suala hilo kwa uzito na italishughulikia kwa kushirikiana na wadau, ili kuhakikisha bidhaa zinazozalishwa nchini zinapata soko na viwanda vinaendelea kuzalisha.

Alisema ikiwa Serikali imeweza kushughulikia changamoto zilizowahi kujitokeza katika sekta nyingine za uzalishaji ikiwemo chumvi, hivyo ina imani kuwa changamoto zinazokabili uzalishaji wa baruti na vilipuzi nazo zitapatiwa ufumbuzi.

Vilevile, kuhusu changamoto ya vifaa kukaa bandarini kwa muda mredu iliyowasilishwa na kampuni ya Ideal Detonators, Dkt. Kiruswa alisema Serikali italifanyia kazi suala hilo kwa kushirikiana na mamlaka husika.

Kwa upande wake, Afisa Madini Mkazi wa Mkoa wa Kimadini Dar es Salaam na Pwani, Mhandisi Lameck Gabote, alisema Tanzania ina jumla ya viwanda vinane (8) vidogo na vya kati vinavyozalisha wastani wa tani 49,000 za baruti na vipande 950,000 vya vilipuzi kwa mwaka.

"Pamoja na uzalishaji huo, bado haukidhi mahitaji ya matumizi ya baruti katika migodi nchini kwa mwaka. Kwa Mkoa wa Pwani una jumla ya viwanda vinne (4) vya kuzalisha baruti, ambapo viwili (2) kati yake vipo Wilaya ya Kisarawe," alisema.

Kwa upande wake, Mkuu wa Wilaya ya Kisarawe, Mhe. Petro Maguti, alisema wilaya hiyo iko tayari kwa mapinduzi makubwa ya viwanda, akibainisha kuwa Ideal Detonators ni miongoni mwa viwanda vikubwa vya aina hiyo katika Ukanda wa Afrika Mashariki, kikiwa na uwekezaji wa zaidi ya Shilingi bilioni 15.

Alisema Kisarawe inatarajia kupokea viwanda vingine vinne vinavyolenga kuzalisha bidhaa mbalimbali, ikiwemo nondo, spika na viwanda vya kutotolesha kuku.

“Kisarawe ina madini ya viwandani na ujenzi, maeneo ya kujenga viwanda, umeme, maji na miundombinu wezeshi ya usafirishaji. Tuko tayari kupokea uwekezaji zaidi,” alisema Mhe. Maguti.

Kwa mujibu wa taarifa zilizotolewa na viwanda hivyo, kila kimoja tayari kimetoa ajira kwa takribani Watanzania 250, hivyo kuongeza fursa za ajira na shughuli za kiuchumi Wilayani Kisarawe.

Kiwanda cha Solar Intracom Chemicals Limited kilizinduliwa na Waziri wa Madini, Mhe. Anthony Mavunde, na kuanza uzalishaji Agosti 14, 2026, huku Kiwanda cha Ideal Detonators Tanzania Limited kikitarajiwa kuanza uzalishaji Septemba 2026.

Leo jijini Dodoma, Balozi wa Uingereza nchini Tanzania, Mh. Marianne Young, amekutana na Waziri wa Madini, Mh. Anthony Mavunde, kwa ajili ya kujadili maendeleo ya sekta ya madini na fursa za kuimarisha ushirikiano kati ya Tanzania na Uingereza.

Mazungumzo hayo yalilenga uwekezaji, uongezaji thamani wa madini, na namna ya kuhakikisha sekta ya madini inaendelea kuchangia katika ukuaji wa uchumi jumuishi na endelevu.

????? Tanzania na Uingereza zitaendelea kushirikiana katika maeneo yenye manufaa kwa pande zote mbili kwa ajili ya maendeleo na ustawi wa wananchi wa mataifa yote mawili.
