Tanzania has approved the allocation of 10% of mining sector revenue to finance advanced mineral exploration activities. This funding aims to support high-resolution surveys, identify new mineral-rich areas, attract investment, and enhance the sector's contribution to economic growth.

The Government of Tanzania is considering recommendations to enhance the small-scale mining sector by improving access to finance, technology, and geological information. Proposed measures include the establishment of a mining fund, the expansion of credit guarantees, and support for mineral research, all aimed at increasing employment, reducing poverty, and promoting economic growth.

The Ministry of Mining in Tanzania reported a collection of TSh 650 billion between July and December 2025, surpassing its goal for the period by 109%. This amount represents 54% of the ministry's target for the 2025-26 fiscal year, with the increase in revenue attributed to gold mining activities, according to Tanzania Affairs.
