The Tanzania Chamber of Mines was established in November 1994 and represents the private participants in the Tanzanian mineral sector. The Chamber is a voluntary private sector organization governed by the Societies Ordinance of 1954 and as a society, its activities are coordinated by the Registrar of Societies under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
The membership, now at 62, includes a broad spectrum of relevant players in the mining industry drawn from the largest international mining companies in the world, medium-scale miners, junior explorers, and service providers to the former, as well as individuals with interest in the sector, all who have identified Tanzania as a worthwhile mining investment destination.
The Chamber is the voice of the industry, and it plays a pivotal role within the sector to provide a recognized liaison point between the mining industry investment community and the Government, and between the mining industry and the public. This pivotal role has evolved to become one of a partnership with the Government in addressing country-specific challenges such as job creation, poverty alleviation, and attracting investment.
