(MENAFNEditorial)
Tanzania's mining industry will come under pressure over our forecast period to 2018 . This will largely be a result of weakness in global gold prices disincentivizing production growth. Although gold is the current mainstay of the sector there are plans to diversify into nickel coal and uranium production in the long term . The mining industry is relatively small in terms of value but its importance is highlighted by the fact that mining earns a significant share of the country's export revenues.

The country has long been a producer of gold (and is currently Africa's fourth-largest producer) and diamonds. In the long term we also expect coal nickel and uranium production to become sub-sectors of Tanzania's mining sector. However over our forecast period to 2018 weak commodity prices will precipitate stagnant gold production growth and are likely to delay potential new projects.

As such Tanzania is likely to find itself at a competitive disadvantage as mining companies look to slash capital expenditure in an era of weakening commodity prices.
On the positive side the announcement in September 2014 that construction of a coal and iron ore mine plus a 600MW coal-fired power plant will begin next year in Tanzania provides a much-needed boost to the outlook for the mining sector. Capital expenditure on the new...
