The Mining Commission has released indicative mineral market prices for April 15, 2026, showing updated global and local rates for gold, silver, and copper used by traders, buyers, and mining stakeholders across Tanzania.
The daily bulletin highlights continued strong performance of precious metals, particularly gold, which remains the most valuable mineral in both the international and domestic markets.
According to the data, gold is trading at 4,840.80 US dollars per troy ounce on the world market, which translates to approximately 406,793.11 Tanzanian shillings per gram.
In the local market structure, the mineral market price stands at 366,113.80 TZS per gram, while buying centres across the country are offering about 357,977.93 TZS per gram.
This difference reflects statutory deductions, handling costs, and logistical adjustments applied within the domestic trading system.
Silver also continues to show steady value in global and local markets. The world market price is recorded at 79.88 US dollars per troy ounce, equivalent to around 6,712.66 TZS per gram.
Locally, the mineral market price is 6,041.39 TZS per gram, while buying centres are offering 5,907.14 TZS per gram.
The Commission notes that silver remains an important metal for both industrial use and investment, though its price level is significantly lower than gold.
Copper, which is widely used in construction, electrical systems, and industrial manufacturing, remains relatively stable. The world market price is listed at 6.07 US dollars per pound, translating to about 34.98 TZS per gram.
Locally, the mineral market price is 31.48 TZS per gram, while buying centres are purchasing at 30.78 TZS per gram.
The slight variation between global and local prices reflects market adjustments and operational costs within the domestic supply chain.
Overall, the pricing structure shows a consistent gap between world market rates, domestic mineral market prices, and buying centre prices.
This structure is used to ensure transparency in mineral trading and to maintain fair value distribution within the sector.
Stakeholders in the mining industry are encouraged to follow official updates from the Mining Commission for daily price adjustments and regulatory guidance.
The Commission continues to play a key role in regulating mineral trade, ensuring compliance, and promoting sustainable development of the mining sector in Tanzania.
