Speaking to media outlets, Geita Regional Administrative Secretary, Mohamed Gombati, said the number of participants has been increasing each year due to the growing success of the event.
He noted that among the participants, 79 are from neighboring countries including Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

“People continue to register every day. For example, in 2024 we used 40 hectares for the exhibition area, but this year we’ve expanded to 50 hectares to accommodate the growing number of participants,” said Gombati.
The exhibition officially began on September 18, 2025, and is scheduled to conclude on September 28, 2025. The Prime Minister of the United Republic of Tanzania, Kassim Majaliwa, is expected to officially open the event today.
The Mining Technology Exhibition has become a vital platform for entrepreneurs, investors, and professionals in the mining sector to learn, exchange experiences, and enhance business cooperation both within and beyond Tanzania.
