Mining, investment conference postponed to 2026

DAR ES SALAAM: THE Ministry of Minerals has postponed the 7th Tanzania Mining and Investment Conference, which was originally scheduled to take place in November this year.

In an official statement released yesterday, the ministry’s Permanent Secretary Enginner Yahya Samamba confirmed that the event has been rescheduled to November 19–21 2026 to avoid coinciding with the country’s General Election, slated for October this year.

The postponement reflects strategic foresight by the ministry, underscoring its commitment to fostering a conducive environment for both local and international stakeholders to explore investment opportunities in Tanzania’s rapidly growing mineral sector.
