Overview of the Extractive Industries
Tanzania is endowed with a variety of mineral resources, natural gas deposits, and some oil traces. Tanzanian minerals include gold, diamonds and various gemstones. Production of gold (which accounted for 44% of the value of exports in 2007) and diamonds has been climbing steeply since the late 1990s. There are large proven reserves of natural gas in Tanzania and prospects for oil discovery are promising, with a number of searches at advanced stages.
