The Mining Commission has released the official mineral indicative prices for June 25, 2026, showing continued strength in global commodity markets and providing updated benchmarks for gold, silver, and copper trading in Tanzania’s mineral value chain.
The new prices are expected to guide transactions at mining sites, buying centres, and export channels across the country.
According to the data, gold remains the most valuable mineral, supported by strong global demand. The world market price for gold has been set at 4,039.45 US dollars per troy ounce, which translates to 343,382.15 Tanzanian shillings per gram.
Within the local market structure, the mineral market price stands at 309,043.93 shillings per gram, while the buying centre price has been set at 302,176.29 shillings per gram.
The difference between world market and local buying prices reflects regulatory adjustments, processing considerations, and market stabilisation mechanisms used in the mineral trading system.
Silver prices have also remained firm in the latest update. The world market price for silver is recorded at 60.60 US dollars per troy ounce, equivalent to 5,151.43 Tanzanian shillings per gram.
The mineral market price is set at 4,636.29 shillings per gram, while the buying centre price stands at 4,533.26 shillings per gram.
The figures indicate steady demand for silver in both industrial and investment applications, supporting its continued role in Tanzania’s diversified mining sector.
Copper, which remains a key industrial mineral, shows comparatively lower but stable pricing levels. The world market price is reported at 6.14 US dollars per pound, translating to 35.79 Tanzanian shillings per gram.
The mineral market price is set at 32.21 shillings per gram, while the buying centre price stands at 31.50 shillings per gram.
Copper continues to be influenced by global industrial activity, particularly in manufacturing, construction, and energy sectors.
The Mining Commission, which regulates and oversees mineral trading activities in Tanzania, uses these indicative prices to ensure transparency, fairness, and consistency in mineral transactions across the country.
The pricing framework helps align local mineral trade with international market trends while safeguarding both miners and buyers from extreme price fluctuations.
The updated figures are also expected to support government efforts to strengthen revenue collection from the mining sector, which remains one of the key pillars of Tanzania’s economic growth.
By providing clear and official reference prices, the Commission aims to reduce disputes in mineral valuation and improve compliance among miners, traders, and exporters.
Industry stakeholders are encouraged to follow the published rates when conducting transactions to ensure orderly market operations and adherence to national mining regulations.
