Tanzania is the 5th largest gold producer in Africa, after Burkina Faso, Mali, Ghana and South Africa (Basov, 2020), and produced an estimated 48 tonnes of gold in 2019 (World Gold Council, 2020)This is largely due to a variety of worldclass gold deposits towards the NW of Tanzania, in the Lake Victoria Goldfields (see Henckel et al (2016)) GEITA Gold Refinery Limited (G2R) has embarked on a project to establish a major gold refinery plant in the mineral rich Geita region Tanzania's First Gold Refinery Plant Underway allAfrica Tanzania's First Gold Refinery Plant Underway STATE Mining Corporation (STAMICO) has taken over operations of the Tulawaka Gold Mine formerly under the African Barrick Gold (AGM) in an historic agreement reached on FridayTanzania: Stamico Formally Takes Over Tulawaka gold ore in concentrations of around 100–300 ppm Mining of Ubearing ore often releases and mobilises high concentrations of the radionuclide in the biosphere Mine tailings dams and dumps are known to contain elevated levels of uranium58 ContaminaThe,Hazards identified and the need for The Author(s) 2015 15,200 ppm have been reported (Chryssoulis et al, 1990) Other submicroscopic gold carriers include chalcopyrite (Cook et al, 1990), loellingite (Neumayr et al, 1993), marcasite, FeOx (in oxidized ores or calcines), realgar and clay minerals (Chao et al, 1987; Wang et al, 1994) Solid solution gold and colloidal gold are the two major formsEstablishing thE ProcEss MinEralogy of gold orEs
