Miners now want the government to lift its ban on exports of all concentrates and ore metallic minerals as the two parties engage in a dialogue on the future of the industry.

A statement issued by the Tanzania Chamber of Minerals and Energy (TCME) said Thursday that some mines face imminent closure following the ban due to loss of revenue from the sale of concentrates, adding that “this negative development will also adversely affect the government’s revenue collection targets”.
