The Tanzania Chamber of Mines was established in 1994 and represents the private participants in the Tanzanian mineral sector. Our membership, now close to 60, includes a broad spectrum of key players in the mining industry including small-scale miners, individuals, small, medium to the largest international mining companies in the world who have identified Tanzania as a worthwhile place to invest their money. These companies are carrying out exploration and some have even commenced mineral production. The Chamber, as the voice for the industry continues to play a pivotal role within the sector as a mediator between the mining investment community and key stakeholders, most notably the Government of Tanzania and the public.

The Chamber continues to gain recognition and credibility as a representative body for the private sector in the mining industry and has to associate with some organizations in various ways such as:

Tanzania Private Sector Foundation (TPSF)/Tanzania National Business Council (TNBC). The Tanzania Private Sector Foundation (TPSF) is a coordinating body for representing private sector associations and the Tanzania National Business Council (TNBC) is a forum for dialogue between private sector and the Government whose Chairman is the H. E. the President. The Chamber has a seat on the Board of the TPSF represented by the Chairman. The Chamber is also represented in the National Business Council.

The Chamber is also a member of the Mining Industry Associations of Southern Africa (MIASA). The MIASA secretariat is located in South Africa at the South African Chamber of Mines and its members meet twice a year where issues of common interest to the mining industry in the SADC region are discussed and conveyed to SADC governments for consideration and adoption.
