TNX TRX Gold Corporation

Tanzania has become a mining hotbed in recent years. Gold exports from Tanzania climbed to $1.7 billion in the year through June from $1.5 billion, a year earlier, the central bank said in a report recently. Recent reports that the Tanzanian government seeks to restructure the mining sector has taken some wind out of the industry's sail. Tanzania has already announced plans to raise royalty payments on exports of gold by the end of this year.

Bloomberg recently reported that the Tanzanian government may abolish a tax refund for mining companies as a way to generate more revenue from the industry. Tax policy in the country gives a refund on fuel used to generate electricity to power mines. Ally Samaje, acting commissioner of minerals, said the government plans to begin talks with companies about halting the practice.

The Tanzania Chamber of Minerals and Energy (TCME) says that Tanzania's mining industry consumes about 3.57 million gallons of fuel per month, while gold mining companies estimate gasoline accounts for 30 percent of their operating costs.
