The first one is on introduction. The second shows the real situation in the mining sector; the third presents different stakeholders‟ views; chapter four is on other countries experiences in managing mining activities; the fifth chapter gives the analysis, opinions and recommendations of the Committee and chapter six gives the conclusion. CHAPTER TWO 2 THE REAL SITUATION OF THE MINING SECTOR 2.1 Mineral Resource and its contribution to National Development According to a database available at the Ministry of Energy and Minerals, Tanzania is one the countries blessed with a huge reserve of mineral resources. According to that database, minerals that can be found in Tanzania are classified into five groups as follows:- a) Metallic minerals group – this includes gold, iron ore, nickel, copper, cobalt and silver; b) Gemstone groups – this includes diamond, tanzanite, ruby, garnets; etc c) Industrial minerals group - limestone, soda ash, gypsum, salt and phosphate; d) Energy-generating minerals like coal and uranium; and e) Construction minerals like gravel, sand and dimension stones. Division of the mineral reserves confirmed to be available in the country is shown in Table 1. Also, map 1 shows where these minerals are in the country (final annex of the report). Table 1: CONFIRMED MINERAL RESEVE TYPE AMOUNT Gold 2,222 tones Nickel 209 million tones Copper 13.65 million tones Iron Ore 103.0 million tones Diamond 50.9 million ounces Tanzanite 12.60 tones Limestone 313.0 million tones Soda ash 109 million tones Gypsum 3.0 million tones Phosphate 577.04 million tones Coal 911.0 million tones Despite the presence of such a huge amount of mineral reserves, the contribution of this sector to the national economy and community development seems not to be meeting citizens‟ expectations compared to other sectors of the economy. There are several reasons to explain this. In the period since independence in 1961 to early 1990s, the mining sector did not attract huge and modern investment compared to other sectors. Due to this fact, the mines that were operational at that time were the ones initiated by colonialists and ran by the government. Most of those mines include the diamond mine in Mwadui and Buckreef and Geita gold mines in Geita and Buhemba in Musoma. Also, in that period, there was a tin mine in Karagwe district. Apart from those mines, there were also small gold miners in Lupa (Chunya), Mpanda and other areas in the Lake Victoria zone. During 1980s and 1990s, the government made huge policy changes and recognized a huge contribution that can come from the private sector to the economic and social development. Hence, many policies were reviewed so as to provide room for the private sector to give its full contribution especially through investments in the production activities. This policy direction also focused on installing a modern management system so as to attract modern technology investment na bring in needed capital for investment in the economic sectors, including the mineral sector. 2.2 Mineral Sector Review Following the government‟s decision on economic changes and by recognizing the opportunity and importance of the mining sector to contribute fully in the economic development, the government passed the Mining Policy (1997). This policy provides the direction of the mining sector in 25 to 30 years and it has become the vision to lead and direct the development of minerals activities in the country. The objectives of this policy include promotion of exploration and development of mining activities, to improve small scale mining, reduce poverty, to enhance social and economic infrastructure, to increase foreign currency and government revenue, to develop Tanzania into Africa‟s Gemstone center and encourage environmental safety and protection. From this aim, the policy set out the following key objectives:- i. To promote exploration and development of mining activities; ii. To modify and improve small scale mining; iii. To make sure the riches coming from mining help in creating sustainable economic and social development; iv. To reduce or eradicate the negative social and environmental impacts of mining development; v. To develop successful plans for trading minerals and their products; vi. To develop and enhance Tanzania as Africa‟s gemstone center; and vii. To reduce poverty, especially among small scale miners 2.3 Implementation of the Mining Policy As a first step in implementing this policy, the government made different amendments to different financial Laws in 1997 (The Financial Laws (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act, 1997). These amendments were intended to attract foreign private sector investment in the mining sector. In 1998, the government enacted a mining law and made changes to the Foreign Exchange Act (1992) so as to meet the needs of the mining sector in accordance to the Mining Policy (1997) too. So as to implement this policy, current taxation laws provide the following incentives:- 2.3.1 Income Tax The Income Tax Act (2004) which is currently used on the income tax has special sections related to taxation in the mining sector as follows: (a) Section 15(3) which allows for a mining company to redeem provisional funds dedicated to environmental protection in implementing written conditions set out by the Income Tax Commissioner; (b) Section 83(1) (a) that requires mining companies to deduct withholding tax from the payments made for management and technical services provided by resident companies. The amount of tax on such services is stated in paragraph 4(c) of the first table of the Act which is 5%. Deductions for services provided by non- resident companies are done according to section 83(1)(b) which is 15%; and (c) The depreciation rate for exploration and mining equipments is 20%2. However, some sections which were in the repealed Income Tax (1973) are still being used in estimating income tax amounts for foreign mining companies.

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).
