Mr. Mavunde said this after holding talks with the Managing Director of Marvel Gold of Australia, Mr. Timothy Strong who arrived to provide a progress report on the gold mining project expected to be established in Hanang District, Manyara Region.
He said the Government is pleased with the speed of implementation of the initial stages of the project, which is currently in the design stage after completing a preliminary study using drone technology.
“We commend investors for the speed they are showing in developing this important project. The Government will continue to collaborate with them to ensure that the mining sector contributes fully to the national economy,” said Mr. Mavunde.
For his part, Strong said the company has commended the Tanzanian government for the investment-friendly environment, noting that the initial design phase is expected to be completed by the end of July 2026.
