What We Do
Zhong Zhou Mining is not a traditional extraction-focused mining company. Our core business is mineral processing and refining.
- Processing and smelting of nickel and copper ores
- Refining minerals into higher-value concentrates and products
- Purchasing ores from small-scale and medium-scale Tanzanian miners
- Preparing refined minerals for local use and export
Our Presence in Tanzania
We selected Bahi District, Dodoma Region, due to its strategic advantages:
Investment & Infrastructure
Zhong Zhou Mining has invested over USD 15 million in the development of an industrial-scale processing and smelting facility, including ore storage and handling yards, waste management and environmental control systems, water recycling and power infrastructure, and security and monitoring installations.
Employment & Skills Development
We are committed to creating meaningful employment, with 200–300 direct and indirect jobs and priority given to residents of surrounding communities — including technicians, operators, mechanics, laboratory staff, logistics and security personnel.
Environmental & Social Responsibility
Zhong Zhou Mining operates in compliance with Tanzania's environmental and mining regulations, under the oversight of the National Environment Management Council (NEMC) and the Ministry of Minerals — with controlled waste handling, air-emission management, water conservation and an approved Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). This also underpins our role in Tanzania's Mineral Value Addition Policy and the growth of Dodoma as an industrial center.
