After Kabanga Nickel, sasa tunasubiri Dutwa Mines yenye high grade Nickel reserves nayo tukamilishe mikataba under the new laws.

Nickel from kabanga ni Nickel Oxide while the one found in Dutwa is Nickel Laterite which does not require refining for EV battery manufacturing... There is so much more good things to come...

Sisi ni matajiri...

Unakumbuka niliwahi kukuambia mwaka jana kuhusu potential ki uchumia wa hizi betri kutoka kwenye haya madini kama Li, Ni? Leo hii Elon ndiyo tajiri mkubwa duniani kwasababu ya haya haya madini.

Ujanja hapa ni kutengeneza mchanganyiko wa madini haya utakaoweza kupata betri zenye nguvu, zinazobeba chaji kwa muda mrefu na zenye uzito mdogo.

Kabanga, Tanzania to develop world’s largest nickel deposit​

Kabanga, Tanzania ink deal to develop world’s largest nickel deposit

British miner Kabanga Nickel, formerly known as LZ Nickel, has inked a framework agreement with the government of Tanzania to develop the world’s largest battery-grade nickel sulphide deposit in the country’s northwest.

As part of the deal, the parties have created a joint company called Tembo Nickel Corp., which will mine, process and refine class 1 nickel with cobalt and copper co-products.

Kabanga Nickel is the new entity’s majority owner with an 84% stake. Tanzania owns the remaining 16%, which is the government’s usual stake in all of the country’s mining projects.

THE KABANGA PROJECT IS ESTIMATED TO CONTAIN MORE THAN 1.52 MILLION TONNES OF NICKEL.

Economic benefits from the Kabanga nickel project, formerly owned by Barrick Gold (TSX: ABX) (NYSE: GOLD) and Glencore (LON: GLEN), will be shared equally between the two shareholders, the parties said in the statement.

Tanzania, Africa’s fourth-largest gold producer, has sought in recent years higher revenues from its vast mineral resources by overhauling the fiscal and regulatory regime of its mining sector.
Barrick and Glencore lost the nickel project in 2018, when President John Magufuli’s administration revoked their retention license, along with 10 others.

The move followed the suspension of new mining permits and the passing of two bills giving Dar es Salaam the right to renegotiate or revoke existing licenses.

Also cobalt and copper

The Kabanga project hosts an in situ mineral resource of 58 million tonnes at 2.62% Ni, containing more than 1.52 million tonnes (3.30 billion pounds) of nickel, a key ingredient for the making of electric vehicles (EVs).

The company said the deposit also has significant amounts of cobalt and copper with a 30-year mine life.

Kabanga Nickel noted it will acquire all the project data and information from Barrick and Glencore, including a 2014 draft feasibility study report and subsequent updates.

It also said it would build a hydrometallurgical (hydromet) plant, which is expected to reduce carbon footprint and minimize environmental impact, as well as lower capital and production costs.

“The project aims to develop the country’s vision of adding value to all minerals and to expand refineries beyond Kabanga that will make Tanzania a regional and central hub for East and central Africa that will process minerals in Africa,” the company’s vice chairman, Chris von Christierson, said in the signing ceremony.

Fitch Solutions has forecast nickel mine production to grow by 8.3% this year from 2020, boosted by rising prices.

Hitachi XRF analysers to help Tanzanian Mining Commission with mineral verification process​

Posted by Daniel Gleeson on 11th January 2021

Twenty four of Hitachi High-Tech Analytical Science’s handheld X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) X-MET8000 Geo Expert analysers have been supplied to the Tanzanian Mining Commission, based in Dodoma, to help officials ensure correct analysis of minerals for value determination before they are exported.

The delivery, through Hitachi High-Tech exclusive Africa distributor, United Scientific (Pty) Ltd, based in South Africa, will help the commission enfoce new measures for exporting minerals where mineral values need to be controlled and verified before they are exported out of the country.

Mining is one of the leading sectors in Tanzania and exports of minerals such as gold, silver, copper and nickel, are increasing each year as demand for these precious metals grows.

The 24 X-MET8000 Geo Experts bought by the Tanzanian Mining Commission will be used by the officials in the laboratory as well as in mineral and gem houses established throughout the country to verify local ore concentrations prior to export. They will also help to verify that correct value on clearing declaration documentation has been provided before minerals leave the country at various border posts.

Hitachi High-Tech’s instruments were chosen by the Tanzanian Mining Commission due to the robustness, reliability, cloud storage capabilities and flexible package options available for the X-MET8000 Expert Geo as well as the service form its local distributor, Hitachi says.

The package includes rare earth elements and precious metals methods to ensure full visibility. The X-MET8000 Expert Geo can analyse rare earth elements including Y, Sc, La, Ce, Pr and Nd in addition to other common elements explored from mines and soils, according to the company.

Jacques Le Roux, Managing Director of United Scientific South Africa, said: “We are delighted to be working with the Tanzanian Mining Commission and local inspectors. We look forward to continuing to build our strong partnership and work very closely together. Over the last three years, United Scientific and Hitachi have supplied record numbers of handheld instruments into the African market making us the leading handheld analyser provider in the region.”

Paul Bunting, VP Sales and Service EMEA, said: “The X-MET8000 Expert Geo offers excellent accuracy, speed and limits of detection in a rugged IP54 and MIL-STD-810G format that’s affordable.

Our delivery of the 24 X-MET8000 handheld XRF analysers to the Tanzanian Mining Commission as a preferred vendor is yet another example of Hitachi helping businesses unlock the power of analysis and striving to increase social value.”
