Mining Indaba: Tanzania’s positioning in the African landscape

All stories have a flip side, and it is however worth noting that many mining projects are somewhere between a successful exploration and a final investment decision. This means that whilst the projects have generated a lot of optimism all around, many of these projects have not fully actualised. You only need to visit a mine to understand that mining projects are extremely capital intensive. Securing such capital often requires grouping a number of financiers to put together both debt and equity in a manner that render such projects viable. The hurdles to such financing are well known. Even none tax technicians now understand what Section 56 - ‘change of control’ mean. Finalizing framework agreements and the necessary details for execution of such projects as well as agreeing financial models has also been a hurdle for some mining projects. Recent changes in the law (particularly in Section 56) means that there is an understanding from the government of some of these hurdles.
