President of the United Republic of Tanzania, Her Excellency Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan, landed at Songea Airport on July 30, 2025, for a key national event the launch of the country’s first Pilot Uranium Processing Plant located in Namtumbo District, Ruvuma Region.
The new plant, operated by Mantra Tanzania Limited, is a major step forward in unlocking Tanzania’s mineral potential to benefit citizens through job creation, increased government revenue, and local economic growth.
It is part of the government’s broader strategy to industrialize the country by adding value to natural resources before they are exported.
President Samia’s presence highlights the importance her administration places on responsible and strategic investment in mining.
The uranium facility is not only expected to position Tanzania on the global map for nuclear minerals but also ensure that surrounding communities gain from improved infrastructure, business opportunities, and social services linked to the investment.
This project reflects the government’s continued efforts to build a stronger, inclusive economy where natural wealth works for all Tanzanians.
