Utajiri na Rasilimali za Tanzania

The main feature of the NCA is the Ngorongoro Crater, a large, unbroken, unflooded volcanic caldera. The crater, which formed when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed on itself some two to three million years ago, is 610 m (2,000 ft) deep and its floor covers 260 km2 (100 sq mi).[5] Estimates of the height of the original volcano range from fifteen to nineteen thousand feet (4500 to 5800 metres) high.[8][9]

Although thought of as "a natural enclosure" for a very wide variety of wildlife, up to 20% or more of the wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) and half the zebra (Equus burchelli) populations vacate the Crater in the wet season. However, a side effect of this enclosure is that the population of Ngorongoro lions is significantly inbred, with many genetic problems passed from generation to generation. This is due to the very small amount of new bloodlines that enter the local gene pool, as very few migrating male lions enter the crater from the outside. Those who do enter the crater are often prevented from contributing to the gene pool by the crater's male lions, who, because of their large size (the result of an abundant and constant food source), easily expel any outside competitors. Animal populations in the crater include most of the species found in East Africa, but there are no impalas (Aepyceros melampus), topis (Damaliscus lunatus), oribis (Ourebia oribi), giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis), or crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus).[10]

The crater highlands on the side facing the easterly trade winds receives 800–1200 mm of rain a year and is covered largely in montane forest, while the less-steep west wall receives only 400–600 mm; this side is grassland and bushland dotted with Euphorbia bussei trees. The crater floor is mostly open grassland with two small wooded areas dominated by Acacia xanthophloea.[10]

The Munge Stream drains Olmoti Crater to the north, and is the main water source draining into the seasonal salt lake in the center of the crater. This lake is known by two names:Makat as the Maasai called it, meaning salt; and Magadi.[11] The Lerai Stream drains the humid forests to the south of the Crater, and it feeds the Lerai Forest on the crater floor - when there is enough rain, the Lerai drains into Lake Magadi as well. Extraction of water by lodges and NCA headquarters reduces the amount of water entering Lerai by around 25%.[12]

The other major water source in the crater is the Ngoitokitok Spring, near the eastern crater wall. There is a picnic site here open to tourists and a huge swamp fed by the spring, and the area is inhabited by hippopotamus, elephants, lions, and many others. Many other small springs can be found around the crater's floor, and these are important water supplies for the animals and local Masaai, especially during times of drought.

Aside from herds of zebra, gazelle, and wildebeest, the crater is home to the "big five" of rhinoceros, lion, leopard, elephant, and buffalo. The crater plays host to almost every individual species of wildlife in East Africa, with an estimated 25 000 animals within the crater.

Following the recommendations of the ad hoc committee of scientists convened after the 2000 drought, an ecological burning program was implemented in the crater, which entails annual or biannual controlled burns of up to 20% of the grasslands.[10] Maasai are now permitted to graze their cattle within the crater, but must enter and exit daily.[6]

Tanzania has a great potential particularly for gold, base metals, diamonds, ferrous minerals and a wide variety of gemstones, including the world renowned Tanzanite (blue zoisite) occurring in the Proterozoic metamorphic rocks of the Usagaran and Ubendian Systems.

Other gemstones mined in the country include ruby, rhodolite, sapphire, emerald, amethyst, chrysoprase, peridot and tormaline. Recently, a major alluvial occurrence was discovered in the southern region of Ruvuma, Mtwara and Lindi. Varieties include chrysoberyl, spinels, sapphire, garnets, zircons and diamonds.

Coal, uranium, and various industrial minerals such as soda, kaolin, tin, gypsum, phosphate and dimension stones are plentiful. Coal resources similar in quality to the Gondwana coals of southern Africa occur in the Ruhuhu and Songwe-Kiwira basins in Limestone and dolomite-good resources of high purity occur in the white marble deposit of the Morogoro Region. Potential for dimension stone and refractory grade limestone is therefore excellent.

A variety of clays - bentonite, kaolin and fullers earth - in size-able deposits have been identified and are only scantily exploited. The Pugu kaolin deposit located some 30 kms West of Dar es Salaam has a great potential for development.

Evaporates and saline deposits of economic significance are associated with the rift valley lakes. Investigations of the Soda ash deposits at Lake Natron revealed a potential recovery of over one million tonnes a year.

Graphite occurs in high-grade gneisses mainly in the Usagaran system. Sufficient reserves have been identified at Merelani, northern Tanzania, for a 40 year operation at a mining rate of 15,000 tonnes per year of high grade flake graphite of 97-98% purity.

Basemetals are found in a belt running from Kagera through Kigoma to Mbeya, Ruvuma and Mtwara regions: recent evaluations have so far outlined contained resources of 500,000 tonnes nickel, 75,000 tonnes copper and 45,000 tonnes cobalt.

Gold and diamonds have always been the mainstay of the country's mineral production. In fact Tanzania has been a significant diamond producer for several decades, with the bulk of production coming from the Mwadui area where commercial production began in 1925. But gold is the resource currently offering one of the best areas for investment.

The current perceived opportunities range from former mines in the Archaean Greenstone belts around Lake Victoria, Proterozoic rocks and conceptual grass root plays in Karoo and younger rocks. Investigation has mainly been focused on the greenstone belts around Lake Victoria with particular attention on the shear hosted gold mineralization associated with banded iron formations (BIF), tufts and volcano-sedimentary exhalatives. Several "world class" gold deposits have already been discovered in the Lake Victoria Goldfields and are at different stages of development. These deposits have reached various stages of development.
 
Mineral Resources EndowmentsTanzania has a great potential particularly for gold, base metals, diamonds, ferrous minerals and a wide variety of gemstones, some of, which are unique such as tanzanites. Coal, uranium, and various industrial minerals such as soda, kaolin, tin, gypsum, phosphate and dimension stones are available at an attractive economic rates. The following are minerals that has attracted most interest in the recent years:


  • Gold found in greenstone belts located in the east and southern of Lake Victoria, and rock formation in southern and southwestern of the country;
  • Basemetals found in a belt running from Kagera through Kigoma to Mbeya, Ruvuma and Mtwara regions, and,
  • Gemstones, which are found in eastern and western belts running from Kenya border in the northern part to Mozambique in the south and Mbeya and Rukwa regions.
  • Gold and diamonds have always been the mainstay of the country's mineral production. Brief explanation is provided below for easy reference.

Hi Sanctus,
Kuna mkakati gani wa kimpangilio ndani ya TPN kuona idadi ya watanzania wenye kuzimiliki njia kuu za uchumi inaongezeka? Natural resources zetu ni kama tunazigawa kwa wawekezaji.
 
Kiongozi hoja yako inazua mjadala moja mrefu sana, tena unaoweza kusaidia hata muelekeo wa Serikali uliopo sasa. Ila tu mimi kwa kuanza, naomba nianze na njia ya kufanya...Natural Resources Zote za Nchi, ni lazima zimilikiwe na Serikali kwa asilimi 100. Kwa hiyo tunapoendelea kuziorothesha, basi hilo liwe ndio la kwanza kutekeleza.

Tukifanya hivyo inatakiwa tupate kiongozi kama Gaddafi, is that possible?
 
Guys cool down. Yes Tanzania has natural resources in abundance. But I don't know why we should have to list them.Do you think once we have a comprehensive list, we will be able benefit and take advantage of them? I don't think so.

If you are intelligent enough, everything in Tanzania is a potential natural resource. The availability of sunlight 12 hours a day is a natural resource. Human manure is a natural resource. The list is endless and what you need is a bit of knowledge to turn dust into vitumbua.
 
Sisi kuorodhesha hakutasidia kitu chochote kitu kinachohitajika ni kupata a correct data not from the GVT but from the World Radar Mineral Organization ambayo inatoa correct availability of Minerals in certain areas in our Country; It is believed that Our GVT still keep it secret na bado haitaki kutoa ruhusa for physical data available... kwahiyo ndio Maana nasema unaenda kwa hiyo Organization

Nchi bado inaficha sababu hizijulikani....

Kiongozi wangu Ndahani

Bila ya shaka unaweza kuwa unatambua kuwa mimi sasa ni Kiongozi Mstaafu wa hiari (Kung'atuka ili kuwapa wengine nafasi) toka May 2011.

Hata hivto TPN ilikuwa na mikakati ya muda mfupi, wa kati na muda mrefu.

Kumbumbukumbu na Maazimio ya Kongamano la Kwanza la Wanataaluma Waishio Ndani na Nje ya Nchi lililofanyika Mwaka 2009 na kubeba Mada Kuu: Wanataaluma Na Vipaumbele Vya Taifa na Jinsi Wanavyoweza Kuchangia na Kuchochea Maendeleo ya Nchi na ya Watanzania inaeleza kwa mapana sana mikakati hiyo.

Kiongozi tuko pamoja sana. Hakika hiki ndich Mwalimu JK Nyerere alichoasisi akifuata siasa za mlengo wa Ujamaa na Kujitegemea kwa kujifunza kutoka China na Urusi. China imefanikiwa sana hata baada ya kufanya Economy Reformation baada ya Mao Tse Tung kufariki 1978. Hebu tufanye marejeo kidogo toka Wikipedia:

Since economic liberalization began in 1978, China's investment- and export-led[198] economy has grown almost a hundredfold[199] and is the fastest-growing major economy in the world.[200] According to the IMF, China's annual average GDP growth between 2001 and 2010 was 10.5%, and the Chinese economy is predicted to grow at an average annual rate of 9.5% between 2011 and 2015. Between 2007 and 2011, China's economic growth rate was equivalent to all of the G7 countries' growth combined.[201] According to the Global Growth Generators index announced by Citigroup in February 2011, China has a very high 3G growth rating.[202]

As of 2012, China has the world's second-largest nominal GDP, totalling approximately 47.2 trillion yuan (US$7.47 trillion) according to the country'sNational Bureau of Statistics.[203][204] However, China's 2011 nominal GDP per capita of US$5,184 puts it behind around ninety countries (out of 183 countries on the IMF list) in global GDP per capita rankings.[6] If PPP is taken into account in GDP figures, China is again second only to the United States – in 2011, its PPP GDP reached $11.316 trillion, corresponding to $8,394 per capita.[6] In 2009, China's primary, secondary, andtertiary industries contributed 10.6%, 46.8%, and 42.6% respectively to its total GDP.

Pamoja na pendekezo lako zuri, laki bado Sekta Binafsi inayo nafasi ya kuchochea kukua kwa Uchumi. hata hivyo hili linawezekana tu pale serikali inaposimamia vema na kukusanya kodi husika kwa kiwango kinachoridhisha na kwa kila kinachostahili. Sidhani kama hili linafanyika hasa ukizingatia kasi ya ufisadi ambao sasa hivi umekuwa ni staili ya maisha ya viongozi wetu.

Kama kuna ambaye anadai si fisadi, its just a matter of time kabla mambo yake hayajagunduliwa au yuko smart tu mambo yake hayajulikani.

Tunahitaji kuangalia kwa namna ya utekelezaji ni nini hasa kifanyike.

Mkuu JMushi1,

Let us a borrow a page from China ni jinsi gani Serikali isiyo na Ufisadi inavyoweza kusimamia uchumi. Napenda kufanya Reference toka Wikipedia na naomba tusome japo ni ndefu kidogo, but let us see how it makes sense:

The People's Republic of China (PRC) is the world's second largest economy after the United States. It is the world's fastest-growing major economy, with growth rates averaging 10% over the past 30 years.[10] China is also the largest exporter and second largest importer of goods in the world. The country's per capita GDP (PPP) was 8,394 (International Monetary Fund, 90th in the world) in 2011. The provinces in the coastal regions of China[11] tend to be more industrialized, while regions in the hinterland are less developed. As China's economic importance has grown, so has attention to the structure and health of that economy.[12][13]

Since 1949 the government, under socialist political and economic system, has been responsible for planning and managing the national economy.[71] In the early 1950s, the foreign trade system was monopolized by the state. Nearly all the domestic enterprises were state-owned and the government had set the prices for key commodities, controlled the level and general distribution of investment funds, determined output targets for major enterprises and branches, allocated energy resources, set wage levels and employment targets, operated the wholesale and retail networks, and steered the financial policy and banking system. In the countryside from the mid-1950s, the government established cropping patterns, set the level of prices, and fixed output targets for all major crops.

Since 1978 when economic reforms were instituted, the government's role in the economy has lessened by a great degree. Industrial output by state enterprises slowly declined, although a few strategic industries, such as the aerospace industry have today remained predominantly state-owned. While the role of the government in managing the economy has been reduced and the role of both private enterprise and market forces increased, the government maintains a major role in the urban economy. With its policies on such issues as agricultural procurement the government also retains a major influence on rural sector performance. The State Constitution of 1982 specified that the state is to guide the country's economic development by making broad decisions on economic priorities and policies, and that the State Council, which exercises executive control, was to direct its subordinate bodies in preparing and implementing the national economic plan and the state budget. A major portion of the government system (bureaucracy) is devoted to managing the economy in a top-down chain of command with all but a few of the more than 100 ministries, commissions, administrations, bureaus, academies, and corporations under the State Council being concerned with economic matters.
Each significant economic sector is supervised by one or more of these organizations, which includes the People's Bank of China, National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Finance, and the ministries of agriculture; coal industry; commerce; communications; education; light industry; metallurgical industry; petroleum industry; railways; textile industry; and water resources and electric power. Several aspects of the economy are administered by specialized departments under the State Council, including the National Bureau of Statistics, Civil Aviation Administration of China, and the tourism bureau. Each of the economic organizations under the State Council directs the units under its jurisdiction through subordinate offices at the provincial and local levels.
The whole policy-making process involves extensive consultation and negotiation.[72] Economic policies and decisions adopted by the National People's Congress and the State Council are to be passed on to the economic organizations under the State Council, which incorporates them into the plans for the various sectors of the economy. Economic plans and policies are implemented by a variety of direct and indirect control mechanisms. Direct control is exercised by designating specific physical output quotas and supply allocations for some goods and services. Indirect instruments—also called "economic levers"—operate by affecting market incentives. These included levying taxes, setting prices for products and supplies, allocating investment funds, monitoring and controlling financial transactions by the banking system, and controlling the allocation of key resources, such as skilled labor, electric power, transportation, steel, and chemicals (including fertilizers). The main advantage of including a project in an annual plan is that the raw materials, labor, financial resources, and markets are guaranteed by directives that have the weight of the law behind them.
In reality, however, a great deal of economic activity goes on outside the scope of the detailed plan, and the tendency has been for the plan to become narrower rather than broader in scope. A major objective of the reform program was to reduce the use of direct controls and to increase the role of indirect economic levers. Major state-owned enterprises still receive detailed plans specifying physical quantities of key inputs and products from their ministries. These corporations, however, have been increasingly affected by prices and allocations that were determined through market interaction and only indirectly influenced by the central plan.
Total economic enterprise in China is apportioned along lines of directive planning (mandatory), indicative planning (indirect implementation of central directives), and those left to market forces. In the early 1980s during the initial reforms enterprises began to have increasing discretion over the quantities of inputs purchased, the sources of inputs, the variety of products manufactured, and the production process. Operational supervision over economic projects has devolved primarily to provincial, municipal, and county governments. The majority of state-owned industrial enterprises, which were managed at the provincial level or below, were partially regulated by a combination of specific allocations and indirect controls, but they also produced goods outside the plan for sale in the market. Important, scarce resources—for example, engineers or finished steel—may have been assigned to this kind of unit in exact numbers. Less critical assignments of personnel and materials would have been authorized in a general way by the plan, but with procurement arrangements left up to the enterprise management.
In addition, enterprises themselves are gaining increased independence in a range of activity. While strategically important industry and services and most of large-scale construction have remained under directive planning, the market economy has gained rapidly in scale every year as it subsumes more and more sectors.[73] Overall, the Chinese industrial system contains a complex mixture of relationships. The State Council generally administers relatively strict control over resources deemed to be of vital concern for the performance and health of the entire economy. Less vital aspects of the economy have been transferred to lower levels for detailed decisions and management. Furthermore, the need to coordinate entities that are in different organizational hierarchies generally causes a great deal of informal bargaining and consensus building.[73]
Consumer spending has been subject to a limited degree of direct government influence but is primarily determined by the basic market forces of income levels and commodity prices. Before the reform period, key goods were rationed when they were in short supply, but by the mid-1980s availability had increased to the point that rationing was discontinued for everything except grain, which could also be purchased in the free markets. Collectively owned units and the agricultural sector were regulated primarily by indirect instruments. Each collective unit was "responsible for its own profit and loss," and the prices of its inputs and products provided the major production incentives.
Vast changes were made in relaxing the state control of the agricultural sector from the late 1970s. The structural mechanisms for implementing state objectives—the people's communes and their subordinate teams and brigades—have been either entirely eliminated or greatly diminished.[74] Farm incentives have been boosted both by price increases for state-purchased agricultural products, and it was permitted to sell excess production on a free market. There was more room in the choice of what crops to grow, and peasants are allowed to contract for land that they will work, rather than simply working most of the land collectively. The system of procurement quotas (fixed in the form of contracts) has been being phased out, although the state can still buy farm products and control surpluses in order to affect market conditions.[75]
Foreign trade is supervised by the Ministry of Commerce, customs, and the Bank of China, the foreign exchange arm of the Chinese banking system, which controls access to the foreign currency required for imports. Ever since restrictions on foreign trade were reduced, there have been broad opportunities for individual enterprises to engage in exchanges with foreign firms without much intervention from official agencies.
Though private sector companies still dominate small and medium sized businesses, the government still plays a large part in the bigger industries. The fact that government accounts for a third of the GDP shows this. Foreign owned companies hold significant stakes. The public sector is mainly made up of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs).

Purely on economic grounds, therefore, China has become a phenomenon. It is the second-largest economy in the world and has frequently been described as likely, within a decade, to surpass both the European Union and the United States in total GDP. Under the leadership of President Hu Jintao, the Chinese Communist Party has retained full control of the country's affairs and remained firmly committed to many of socialism's key tenets. All of the country's major banks, for example, remained tightly linked to the state, as do key sectors such as oil, petrochemicals, and steel. State agencies have provided most of the country's still-limited financial services, and state-owned enterprises produced more than one-third of total output. Indeed, the state-and the Party-were central players in nearly all aspects of China's economy, guiding a development trajectory often labeled as "socialism with Chinese characteristics"

Diamonds:

Tanzania has been a significant diamond producer for several decades, with the bulk of production coming from the Williamson Diamonds Mine at Mwadui where commercial production began in 1925. Over 300 kimberlites are known in Tanzania of which, 20% are diamondiferous. Some 600 dipolar magnetic anomalies with similar geophysical characteristics to known kimberlite pipes have been recorded during recent geophysical surveys. Also of relevance are the psuedo-kimberlites or para-kimberlites along the young craters where diamonds have been discovered.

Alluvial diamonds have been recorded but a large deposit of economic exploitation has not yet been found. Locating shallow buried superficial deposits using airborne infrared surveys may prove useful.

Mkuu wazo zuri sana,wilayani Karagwe kunaaminika kuna madini ya bati kila kona! Hivi majuzi tu watu walikuwa wanakwenda kuzika kuchimba tu kaburi wakakutana na madini ikawa tafrani kubwa watu wakaacha kuzika wakaanza kuchimba madini na baadae wafanyabiashara toka nje wakavamia hayo maeneo na kutumia fedha zao kumiliki hizo ardhi.sijafuatilia tena kinachoendelea huko Murongo wilayani karagwe mpakani kabisa na Uganda! Hayo madini ya bati hayaitaji technology ya kutisha na maeneo yaliyopo si umbali mrefu sana kwenda chini! Natoa rai binafsi kuwa tuunde wizara itayosheheni wataalamu lengo kuu ni kutafiti raslimali tunazozijua na ambazo hatujazivumbua ili tuziorodheshe zote! Kila tunachogundua kiwekwe kwenye list then wataalamu wetu watoe mapendekezo namna tutavyozitumia to get maximum benefit na ktk kutia mkazo mpango wowote wa uwekezaji lazima utokee huko kama dira yetu.Wizara hiyo tujaze vichwa kutoka kila taaluma ili yanapotoka mapendekezo yawe na mkakati wa namna ya kuraise fund ili hiyo miradi tuende wenyewe na pale tutapohitaji wawekezaji tayari tuwe na terms ambazo mwekezaji kwake ndio masharti ya kwanza kukubali kabla hata ya mazungumzo yoyote.
 
Gold:

Gold offers one of the best areas for investment. The current perceived opportunities range from former mines in the Archaean Greenstone belts around Lake Victoria, Proterozoic rocks and conceptual grass root plays in Karoo and younger rocks.

Gold exploration has grown rapidly during the 1990's using modern technology and refined models. Investigation has mainly been focused on the greenstone belts around Lake Victoria with particular attention on the shear hosted gold mineralization associated with banded iron formations (BIF), tufts and volcano-sedimentary exhalatives.

Several "world class" gold deposits have already been discovered in the Lake Victoria Goldfields and are at different stages of development. These deposits have reached various stages of development.

Gold targets have also been revealed in the Proterozoic rocks in the Southwest of Tanzania. In this case, gold is associated with BIF, and in gneisses and granites in shear zones.
 
Base Metals and Platinum Group Minerals (PGM):

Geologically, both the Archaean and the Protozoic rocks are prospective for base metals and PGM.
Recent exploration in North West Tanzania has revealed extensive nickel-cobalt-copper mineralization associated with ultramafic rocks of Karagwe-Ankolean System. Sutton Resources is evaluating the resources where diamond drilling has outlined contained resources of 500,000 t nickel, 75,000 t copper and 45,000 t cobalt, so far.

In addition, chromium and platium group metals (PGM) have been recorded. Substantial deposits of nickel enriched laterite with cobalt have been delineated over the ultramafics in the Kagera region. There is also an indication of stratiform copper-silver-uranium type mineralization in Shinyanga region.
 
Ferrous Metals:

Numerous iron ore bodies have been identified in the Proterozoic rocks. Titaniferous magnetic bodies associated with anorthositic gabbro occur at Liganga SW Tanzania and is in close proximity (80 kin) to the coal resources of Ketewaka-Mchuchuma. Shallow drilling established a resource of 45 million tonnes grading 52 percent Fe. The Titanium resources are also known in beach sands along the coast.
