HAVING played host to one of the earliest gold mines in the country, a small dusty town in Mbeya Region is poised to become a significant producer of rare earth elements.
Some 189 kilometres from the district centre in Chunya, to the east of the Lake Rukwa, on the edge of the East African Rift Valley, there lies one of the largest and highest grade rare earth deposits in the world. Rare earth is a mineral that contains more rare earth elements as major metal components.
