Dar es Salaam. The government expects to decide by June 2025 whether to proceed with uranium mining at the Mkuju River site in Ruvuma Region, pending the outcome of a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) currently underway.
Deputy minister for Minerals, Dr Steven Kiruswa, told The Citizen yesterday that the assessment began in February and is expected to take approximately three months, although it could extend to six months depending on the scope of the study and prevailing weather conditions.
