Tanzanian gold output grew in 2011
The Central Bank of Tanzania said this week the country’s gold production rose to 40.4 tonnes in 2011 from 35.6 tonnes a year ago after mining companies invested in higher output due to cash in on the rising price of the precious metal. Now Tanzania ranks fourth among Africa’s gold producers, behind South Africa, Ghana and Mali.
Also, gold accounts for Tanzania's biggest foreign exchange earner with 59.1% of the country's total non-traditional exports last year. The east African nation plans to increase the contribution of the mining sector to gross domestic product (GDP) to 10% by 2025 from 3.8% and will be helped by miners such as Barrick and Anglogold Ashanti, which own gold mines in Tanzania.
