Dar es Salaam. Graphite miner Lindi Jumbo Ltd will invest $32 million in the production of graphite minerals, which will help create hundreds of jobs at its Ruangwa site in Lindi Region.
The mineral is used for various purposes including making pencils whose market is huge and inexhaustible.
Actual investment will start next year, the firm’s administrative assistant, Mr Frederick Malima, said yesterday.
He told The Citizen at the 45th Dar es Salaam International Trade Fair (DITF) that over 500 direct and indirect jobs will be created.
The company will strictly abide by Tanzania’s local content law which seeks to ensure that Tanzanians benefit from the project.
The company owns 27.7 square kilometres of land for the project.
He said production is expected to start next year and that all the procedures have been completed, including acquisition of a mining licence.
He said the clean-up exercise in the mining area including the construction of staff houses has begun and in September the first plant for extraction will arrive.
Apart from manufacturing of pencils, also batteries for both mobile phones and vehicles will be manufactured.
He said the research has shown that the area can be used for extraction for 24 years. To begin with, the company will be producing 40,000 tonnes per year of graphite.
“We have come to the trade fair (DITF) to give Tanzanians the good news on jobs for young people and various other opportunities for citizens living near the mine,” he said.
Graphite is also available at Mahenge in Morogoro and Arusha regions. But, the new mine will be the largest producer in the country.
He said their main markets for their products will be overseas.
“We have not started exploration, but we have already found a market in Europe, China and the United States, so these minerals have a large market and their demand is increasing day by day.” In domestic market, new schools are open everyday as well as new vehicles and mobile phones so the company is confident and ready to invest such a huge amount for the country’s sustainable development.

LafargeHolcim Tanzania supports local content initiative in Tanzania

Mbeya Cement Company Limited (LafargeHolcim Tanza-nia), known by its POZ-ZOLANA based TEM-BO CEMENT BRAND has gone extra mile to support local content initiative by Government of Tanzania by supplying Pozzolana to Julius Nyerere Hydro-Power Project (JNHPP) as a sustainable and economic substitute for imported fly ash.
Tanzania imports fly ash for use by construction industry for road stabilization and as concrete ingredient to boost / enhance strength properties of concrete. Fly ash is a fine powder that is a byproduct of burning pulverized coal in electric generation power plant. Chemically and technically, fly ash is identical to pozzolana and both have related origin.
Pozzolana itself is a natural material that originated from volcanic ash and it has cementitious properties. History of using pozzolana as a building material dates back to 500 BC by Ancient Greeks.
Romans pioneered the use of pozzolana as binding agent to hold stones together and some of the underwater structures built then still stands today, more than 2000 years. Reactivity of Pozzolana from different places varies and this determines its usage. Taking advantage of the uniqueness and reactiveness of the locally available Pozzolana, Mbeya Cement Company with the help of LafargeHolcim Group’s Research & Development Centre has successfully researched use of processed and energetically modified pozzolana as substitute to imported fly ash.
This is an economic and innovative construction breakthrough. It is an economic solution because it promotes use of available locally sourced resources that translates into saving forex. On the other hand, it is a green innovation because it promotes sustainable construction for it ensures global environmental protection via reduction of CO2.
From the start of the iconic Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project in 2020, LafargeHolcim Tanzania has been proudly supplying Pozzolana for road and tunnel base stabilization and also as an ingredient for concrete. By the end of the project, about 200,000 tons of Pozzolana will be supplied.
As the power generated from this Dam project will be used by generations to come, not only in Tanzania but also from neighboring countries, as the excess generated electricity shall be exported, TEMBO POZZOLANA shall always be part of the joy of those generations and a reminder of the meaning of sustainable construction solutions.

TPDC draws strategies on LNG project pace
ENERGY minister Dr Medard Kalemani has directed the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) to install visible signs around the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project in Likong'o area, Lindi Region in order to strengthen security.
Dr Kalemani issued the directive here after visiting the area to oversee how things are going at the project.
He was accompanied by Deputy Minister Stephen Byabato, Lindi District Commissioner, Shaibu Ndemanga, Commissioner for Petroleum and Gas, Adam Zuberi, some heads of institutions that are under the ministry and investors of project from Equinor and Shell.
“We have visited here to oversee how it is progressing, so it is important to put visible signs instead of just putting up a poster. By putting the signs will enable the area to be identified by the people and thus bar them invading or misusing it, we have a responsibility to protect this area,” Dr Kalemani said.
He issued five days ultimatum for the TPDC to finalise procedures of getting a contractor from within Lindi Region who will set the boundary marks.
Once found, the contractor should commence work immediately," he said.
In addition, he instructed TPDC to ensure that the 2,071-hectare area is cleaned and urged residents not to invade the area as it has been taken over by the government and the eligible people compensated.
Earlier, before visiting the project area, the leaders met with stakeholders in the region and some members of parliament representing the area so as to inform and discuss the progress of the project.
Dr Kalemani told the stakeholders that the government last year issued approximately 5.72bn/- to compensate people who were evacuated from the area.
He said that, in May this year the government initiated discussions with investors about the implementation of the project and expected to end in October, this year.
Deputy Minister, Byabato, said that the government will continue encouraging and mobilizing people in Lindi to grab opportunities available in the area including natural gas.
He said that the sixth phase government has allocated and issued sufficient funds to support power production and supply projects in the country.
