Dar es Salaam. The government has urged mining investors to accelerate the implementation of licensed projects, saying Tanzania now expects investment commitments to translate into jobs, exports and broader economic gains.
The call comes as Faru Graphite Corporation, which is preparing to develop a major graphite project in Mahenge District, Morogoro Region, says it is ready to resume preliminary construction activities after the rainy season.
