The current status of the mineral and geological knowledge was used to create the “Minerogenic Map of Tanzania” (MMT) at a scale of 1:1,500,000 - as the base for evaluating the mineral potential of the country. Important data is available via http://www.gst.go.tz/ and http://www.gmis-tanzania.com/. Finally, Beak’s advangeo® Prediction Software was used to create mineral potential maps by using airborne geophysical data, geological maps, tectonic maps and the mineral deposit database. These maps are useful instruments to further develop the country’s mineral sector, to guide mineral exploration activities and to attract investment.
