A long-term mining strategy, built in Tanzania

KMCL is building a diversified mining and minerals group, one division and one licence at a time.

Company overview

Kazeni Mining Company Limited (KMCL) is a Tanzanian mining and minerals company. We work in gold, Tanzanite and other gemstones across the full value chain: exploration, mining, processing, refining, trading and export.

We started with mineral trading and exploration across Tanzania’s Lake Zone gold belt (Geita, Katoro, Kahama, Shinyanga and Mwanza) and the Tanzanite deposits at Mererani. From that foundation we are building mining, processing and refining capacity, and a partnership network that reaches across Africa.

Our mission

To find, develop, process and trade Africa’s mineral resources responsibly, adding value at every stage in Tanzania, and sharing that value with our people, our partners and the communities where we work.

Our strategic direction

Grow in stages. Each phase funds and de-risks the next.

  • Build cash flow from mineral trading and aggregation in Tanzania’s gold and Tanzanite regions.
  • Prove resources through exploration and enter mining through partnerships.
  • Own and operate mines, and add CIP processing to capture more value from each tonne.
  • Add refining and gemstone value addition through licensed partners, then our own capacity.
  • Expand into selected African jurisdictions, then into international assets and joint ventures.
