Mining (Local Content) Regulations, 2018

Mining Commission / Ministry of Minerals · Tanzania

The Mining (Local Content) Regulations establish local-content planning, procurement, employment, training and reporting requirements for Tanzania mining activities.

The regulations require local content to be part of mining activities and set out local-content plans, procurement/employment considerations, reporting and related obligations.

The rules have been amended since 2018, so users should read this record together with subsequent amendments and current Mining Commission guidance.

Not legal advice: use the official text and current regulator guidance before making a compliance or contracting decision.
