  • Tanzania-BHR Mission North Mara

    Tanzania-BHR Mission North Mara

    The International Commission of Jurists concludes visit to North Mara mine in Tanzania On Friday 1 September, a delegation from the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) concluded a learning and assessment mission to the North Mara region and the North Mara Gold Mine Ltd, a subsidiary of Acacia Mining plc located in north-west Tanzania in the Tarime district of the Mara region. The visit took place between 27 August and 1 September. The objective of the ICJ Mission was to learn about the operation with a view to assessing the effectiveness of the North Mara Gold Mine’s operational grievance mechanism (OGM) in addressing complaints over alleged human rights concerns and abuses committed in connection with the mine’s operations. The mission noted the progress that the mine has made in developing its OGM and will be continuing to gather information with a view to more fully understanding its operation. The North Mara mine is by far the largest investment and economic engine for the region, and a major attraction for people migrating into the immediate area, whose population has grown exponentially since the mine was initiated in 1998. The prospect of gold predictably created a strong economic magnet that was bound to attract people in search of economic opportunities. As company officials themselves acknowledged, the company was slow in putting in place the necessary physical security and measures to avoid human rights abuses and to redress those which occurred. The delegation is grateful to the NGO Legal and Human Rights Centre (LHRC) of Tanzania for its facilitation of the visit and especially the meetings with a number of people who have grievances pending against the company.

    EVALUATION OF GOVERNMENT EQUITY PARTICIPATION IN THE MINERALS SECTOR: A CASE STUDY OF TANZANIA FROM 1996 TO 2015 Pius Robert Lobe A research report submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering. Johannesburg, 2018 DECLARATION I declare that this research report is my own unaided work. It is being submitted to the Degree of Master of Science to the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination to any other University. Signed: ________________ Pius Robert Lobe This __________day of___________________________ year________________ i ABSTRACT Government’s equity role in the minerals sector is one of the nationalist measures to have a greater control and management of mineral resources in a country. This study looks into evaluation of government equity participation in the minerals sector in which Tanzania is a case study from 1996 to 2015. Amongst the objectives of the study was the determination of the number of mineral rights, minimum allowable exploration expenditures in Prospecting Licences (PLs) and forms of equity role of Tanzanian government in the minerals sector with their projects. Methodology of research included going through the background of the study, literature review, collection of data and analysis of PLs, Mining Licences (MLs) and Special Mining Licences (SMLs) to mention a few. Some of results of the research have indicated that, there were106 mineral rights (97 PLs, 3 MLs and 6 SMLs). State Mining Corporation (STAMICO) and National Development Corporation (NDC) as parastatals and Treasury Registrar (TR), a government agent owned these mineral rights on the behalf of the Tanzanian government (TZGT).
