Gold prices remained strong in Tanzania on April 22, 2026, with new data from the Mining Commission Tanzania showing a clear price structure across global and local markets, reinforcing transparency for miners, traders and investors.
According to the latest indicative prices released on Wednesday, gold continues to dominate the mineral market, trading at $4,791.75 per troy ounce on the world market. This translates to approximately TZS 403,111.83 per gram, making it the most valuable mineral among the three tracked commodities.
At the domestic level, the mineral market price stands at TZS 362,800.65 per gram, while small-scale miners and traders selling through licensed buying centres receive around TZS 354,738.41 per gram.
Silver also recorded stable performance, with a world market price of $79.01 per troy ounce, equivalent to TZS 6,646.81 per gram.
Within Tanzania’s mineral market, silver is priced at TZS 5,982.13 per gram, while buying centres offer about TZS 5,849.20 per gram, reflecting a structured pricing system designed to accommodate local trading realities.
Meanwhile, copper prices remain modest compared to precious metals but continue to play an important role in industrial and economic activities.
The global price for copper stands at $5.99 per pound, translating to TZS 34.55 per gram. Locally, the mineral market price is TZS 31.10 per gram, with buying centres offering TZS 30.41 per gram.
The indicative pricing model published by the commission provides a transparent framework that bridges international commodity markets and Tanzania’s domestic mineral trade.
By categorizing prices into world market, mineral market and buying centre levels, the system helps stakeholders understand value chains and make informed decisions.
Gold’s continued dominance highlights its importance as a key revenue driver for Tanzania’s mining sector, especially among artisanal and small-scale miners who rely on buying centres as their primary point of sale.
The relatively small gap between mineral market and buying centre prices also signals efforts to ensure fair compensation at the grassroots level.
The Mining Commission Tanzania encourages stakeholders to follow official updates and pricing guidelines to maintain compliance and promote sustainable growth in the sector.
More details are available through the commission’s official communication platforms.
The latest figures underscore Tanzania’s ongoing commitment to strengthening transparency, improving market access and supporting the mining industry as a pillar of economic development.
