TANZANIA HAS PARTNERED WITH RUSSIA TO LAUNCHED A $1.2B URANIUM MINING AND PROCESSING PROJECT
Tanzania has officially launched a $1.2 billion uranium mining and processing project in partnership with Russia’s state-owned nuclear energy giant, Rosatom.
It is one of the largest foreign investments in Tanzania's mining sector.
It will create over 4,000 direct jobs and more than 100,000 indirect opportunities across sectors such as logistics, energy, and infrastructure.
Tanzania's Mkuju River deposit holds an estimated 58,500 tonnes of uranium reserves. When fully operational, the uranium mine will produce up to 3,000 tonnes of uranium annually over a 22-year lifespan.
This would take Tanzania to the top 10 uranium producers in the world.
God bless Africa!
