  • ACACIA-Operational Update.Pdf
    9 May 2019 Acacia Mining plc (“Acacia”, “Group” or the “Company”) Operational Update “I am pleased to announce a rebound in gold production and performance at the start of Q2 to 47,805 ounces for the month. This follows the successful implementation of a revised mining plan at the North Mara mine which saw April gold production at the mine increase to 33,941 ounces, 54% above the monthly average production during Q1. Although still early in the second quarter, I am pleased with the improved production levels now being achieved and remain confident of delivering against our full year production guidance of 500,000 to 550,000 ounces,” said Peter Geleta, Interim Chief Executive Officer, who added, “As we maintain our focus on what we can control, our operating performance during the month, together with public recognition for each of our mines at the National Safety Awards in Mbeya, are testament to the resilience and ongoing commitment of our people and businesses. In the meantime, a negotiated resolution remains our preferred outcome to the Company’s ongoing disputes with the Government of Tanzania. The Company continues to provide support to Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) in its direct discussions with the Government and, once these discussions have been successfully concluded, we look forward to receiving and reviewing a proposal for a resolution of Acacia’s disputes agreed in principle between Barrick and the Government.” Total gold production in April was 47,805 ounces, 37% higher than the monthly average during Q1 2019. This reflects a significant improvement in North Mara production performance through delivery against the revised mining plan announced in the Q1 production update and results releases.

  • The Extractive Resource Industry in Tanzania
    The Extractive Resource Industry in Tanzania: Resource The Extractive The Extractive Resource Industry in Tanzania: Status and challenges of the mining sector The existing mineral wealth in a country should be a blessing. However the experience in some countries shows that this can prove to be very problematic instead. This publication is inspired by the increasing discovery of minerals in East Africa and the concern about their impact on the future of the region. It argues that if timely investments are made in promoting and implementing good practices in this sector, the problems that have plagued other resource-rich countries can be avoided in Status and challenges of the mining sector East Africa. This report, a product of a process that has engaged various industry stakeholders focuses on Tanzania, which is a relatively late arrival to large-scale mining. It maps out the performance of the mining sector as one component of Tanzania’s extractive resource industry (ERI) and analyses the interactions of the different stakeholders over time. It argues that although there are a number of challenges faced by the ERI sector, Tanzania could yet become one of the best performers in her class. However this will require hard work and investments by all stakeholders. By providing information on the challenges and implications of the current state of the ERI in Tanzania, this report wishes to contribute to the on going discourse and efforts to improve the performance of the ERI in Tanzania in a way that incorporates public accountability and transparency as well as increased participation and benefit to the Tanzanian population.
