Commenting on the results, Stephen Mullowney, CEO of TanGold said: “The Q2 results demonstrate our ability to drive significant, profitable sustainable growth at Buckreef Gold. The processing plant is currently being expanded and will triple in size to 1,000+ tpd in the coming months. We have also started advancing the technical work for the much larger sulphide development project with the goal of exceeding all the metrics as outlined in the 2018 PFS, particularly yearly annual production. Exploration has recommenced in the Buckreef Main northeast extension and overall exploration activities will accelerate across the entire Buckreef Gold project over the next year. We are in the process of resetting the long-term vision for the Buckreef Gold project with the goal of a much larger project than was originally envisaged in the 2018 PFS.”

Buckreef is anchored by an expanded Mineral Resource published in May 2020.

Fitch Revises Tanzania Outlook to Positive, Affirms ‘B+’ Rating, Forecasts GDP Growth of 5.8% in 2026 Driven by Tourism and Mining

Fitch Ratings revised Tanzania's outlook to positive from stable while affirming the sovereign rating at 'B+', citing strengthening reserves and a gradual decline in government debt, warning, however, that the credit rating remains constrained by weak governance and low government revenue. The agency forecasts real GDP growth of 5.8% in 2026 and an average of 6.1% in 2027 and 2028, driven by public investment, tourism, the country's role as a regional logistics hub, and expansion in the mining sector.
