| dc.description |
As one of its efforts to scale up promotional programs for attracting investments in the
development and utilization of Tanzania’s mineral resources, the Geological Survey of
Tanzania has made major review of the previously existing Mineral Occurrence Map of
Tanzania through verification of location of known occurrences of minerals coupled with
thorough evaluation and description of geological processes which account for the forͲ
mation of these resources as well as their mineral association. The upgrading of this
information went hand in hand with the inclusion of the similar data and information for the
recently discovered occurrences of some commodities.
As a result of these recent reviews and upgrading of information, a new GISͲbased MineroͲ
genic Map of Tanzania at a scale of 1:1,500,000 has been developed and published in 2015.
The content of this booklet serves as explanatory notes for this newly published map. The
aforeͲstated review of information of mineral occurrences and the subsequent publication
of the new map was carried out under the implementation of the Sustainable Management
of Mineral Resources Project (2009 to 2015), a project that was funded by the World Bank
and the Government of Tanzania. Beak Consultants GmbH of Germany was engaged as the
consultant for conducting the review and publishing the map and its explanatory notes.
Apart from publishing this map using conventional methods (hard and soft copies) the map
and all its associated information and explanatory notes are posted in the newly developed
web portal of the Geological Survey of Tanzania established in 2015 with address of
www.gmisͲtanzania.com, a portal that serves as a platform for online viewing and searching
of geoͲdata and information available at the Geological Survey of Tanzania.
The Geological Survey of Tanzania is of the opinion that this new map and its explanatory
notes, particularly the one placed on the web portal, will facilitate quick and easy disseminaͲ
tion of information on the raw materials in the country to potential investors, stakeholders
and the general public across the world. This will also allow onͲline quick querying of
available geoͲdata related to the extractive industry in Tanzania and hence attracting more
investment to the country therefore paving the way to an accelerated economic growth of
the country. The Geological Survey of Tanzania encourages all stakeholders to make a good
use of the newly developed Minerogenic Map of Tanzania and its explanatory notes and it is
committed to providing additional explanations, data and information whenever required in
order to ensure thorough understanding of the countryͲwide existing potentials of the
minerals to all potential investors, stakeholders and the general public. Let us join hands and
efforts to develop the raw materials for the benefit of Tanzania, her people, the investors
and the world community at large in line with the “Win – Win” spirit. |
