Investors in the mining sector are being encouraged to explore investment opportunities in the Mtwara Region, which is rich in a variety of mineral resources including strategic minerals vital to industrial processes.
This call was made by Senior Mining Engineer Michael Mtatiro, speaking on behalf of the Regional Mining Officer, Winnifrida Mrema, during a special interview with journalists preparing a feature program on the successes within the mining sector.
“Mtwara is home to a wide range of minerals, including those found in heavy mineral sands, such as rutile, titanium, ilmenite, and zircon,” Mtatiro explained.
On the region’s revenue performance, Engineer Mtatiro reported that Mtwara was tasked with collecting TZS 9.18 billion in the 2024/2025 financial year. To date, the region has already collected TZS 7.14 billion representing 75% of the annual target.
“We are confident that by the end of June, we will have achieved 100% of our revenue target,” he affirmed.
