Geita Gold Mining Limited scooped four awards, including the top spot at the ten-day mining and technology expo in Geita.
During the exhibition, which took place from 20th to 30th September this year at EPZ grounds in The Geita Referral Hospital, in partnership with GGML, offered cancer screening services to over 1000 people.
Closing the exhibition on behalf of H.E. President Samia Suluhu Hassan, the second Vice President of Zanzibar, H.E. Hemed Suleiman commended GGML also for emerging with the best Exhibitor award at this year’s exhibition.
The company also received a special certificate of appreciation for being a key stakeholder since the inception of the exhibition in 2018, and for being the main sponsor this year, committing over Shs150 million.
H.E. Suleiman, who read a speech on behalf of President Samia at the exhibition, said the vision for the mining industry (Vision 2030) was designed to address the perennial challenges faced by small-scale miners due to the lack of reliable information on resource-rich areas.
"The government is committed to providing reliable markets for miners and empowering small investors in the mining sector by connecting them with financial institutions," stated H.E. Suleiman.
In addition, Terry Strong, Managing Director of GGML, reported that during the 10-day event, visitors were able to see for themselves the various technologies used by GGML, its partners and other companies to ensure safe and productive mining practices.
"Our mission at GGML is to provide value to all of our stakeholders from research activities, mining, and gold processing. We achieve this by safely and responsibly exploring mining and processing gold. "We have made every effort to transfer skills and technologies, as exemplified by the development of our three underground projects and the participation of Tanzanian-owned suppliers and service providers, both individually and through joint ventures in larger contracts," stated Terry Strong.
He continued, "GGML remains committed to supporting the development of local businesses and contractors through our local content programs, which have made a significant impact."
"As a result, we have witnessed a rise in the business value granted to local suppliers and contractors from $202 million in 2015 to $526 million in 2022," he concluded.
Furthermore, Gilbert Mworia, GGML's Senior Manager for Sustainability, acknowledged the Government for recognising the company's endeavours and pledged to carry on with the provision of training for Tanzanians and small-scale miners to help them seize various opportunities within the mine.
The Minister of Minerals, Anthony Mavunde, stated that they anticipate the mining sector's contribution to the National GDP to reach 10% by 2025.
