Rich mineral resources in Tanzania, 8 greenstone belt, Archean strata are mostly rock, history has produced hundreds of tons of gold. Has proven reserves of major minerals and: Diamond 250 million tons (content 6.5 kt / t), gold mine 80 million tons, 324 million tons of coal, iron, 130 million tons, 1,000 tons of phosphate, 45 billion cubic meters of natural gas meters. In addition to gold, other minerals yet to be fully explored. Mainland, Zanzibar and the coastal waters there are several promising oil regions. Currently, there are many mining companies registered in Tanzania, mainly relying on foreign capital and technology, most of them in gold development. In addition, Australia, Canada, Ireland and other countries engaged in oil exploration in Tanzania; the World Bank, European Investment Bank and other international financial institutions, development of Songo Songo gas tank funded (proven reserves of 300 billion cubic meters), the Canadian pipeline company construction; while some foreign companies are also exploring the development of Muna Xi with Tanzania Bay gas field project (proven reserves of 15 billion cubic meters) is feasible. Forest area of ​​about 4,400 million hectares, accounting for 45% of land area, Angola produced red sandalwood, ebony, mahogany, Castanopsis trees. Abundant water resources, power generation potential of over 478 million kilowatts.

To Tunduma from Dar es Salaam Tanzania-Zambia railway has been investigations into a variety of mineral deposits, but in addition to the Katewaka Mchuchuma coal, Liganga Kiwira vanadium titanium magnetite and coal, the reserves of other mineral deposits and the quality has not yet been through in-depth exploration. These deposits distributed in the Pupu Laolin from Kisarawe has been extended to Zambia at the junction of Mbozi platinum group metals and copper mineralization with a composite body. Moreover, for such as gold, precious stones, quartz and other precious minerals and industrial minerals, existing small-scale mining activities. Mineral known as follows:

A, Uluguru deposits

Uluguru Mountains in Morogoro Province Wipu and Kisaki and titanium were found in rare earth ore magnetite. Kisaki estimated reserves of titanomagnetite 2000-4000 tons of iron oxide content of 35-40%, 6-10% titanium dioxide. This is also found in precious stones, graphite and quartz, Kisaki is the Tanzania-Zambia railway line stop.
