Tanzanian Mining Act..."Once they get that one concentrator up we can start reducing the loss..
If we get 5 concetrators up..that loss will get wiped out in no time!!!
All we need are some good ASSAY results and this thing is a done deal!!!"
If it was only that easy...lol
First you need a Mineable Resource, then you need a Mining License from the Goverment and with the General Election later this year it is my guess you might get approvels from the Goverment to start mining sometime in 2010...if you have a deposit!
| Tanzanian Mining Act | Presented here is a brief summary of the two types of mineral rights granted under the Mining Act, 1998, supplemented as necessary from the Mining Regulations, 1999, and related to the Tulawaka project.
Prospecting Licenses : Pursuant to Division A of Part IV Section 24 of the Mining Act, Prospecting Licenses can be obtained for

Prospecting Licenses granted under Division A of Part IV Section 29 of the Mining Act consist of a) a preliminary reconnaissance period not exceeding two years, or b) the initial prospecting period not exceeding three years. A preliminary reconnaissance period license can cover an area up to 5,000 km², whereas the maximum size for an initial prospecting period license is 200 km² and the maximum size for a gemstone prospecting license is 10 km². A preliminary reconnaissance period license can be renewed for the initial prospecting period, however if the area covered exceeds the maximum size then a portion will have to be relinquished. An initial period license can be renewed for two successive periods of two years, however, 50% of the area must be relinquished on each renewal. Following the end of the second renewal, a prospecting license can be renewed for a further period in order to complete a feasibility study already commenced.
