NYANZA MINES (T) LTD

Nyanza Mines is located in Uvinza, Kigoma region, Tanzania. Uvinza is about 120 km from Kigoma Town, a port on Lake Tanganyika. We are about 1000 kms away from the ocean but are blessed with unlimited high density brine.

Salt has been commercially produced in Uvinza for over a century and the source of the saline brine is underground springs. This underground brine is of much higher density than sea brine. The density of Uvinza brine ranges from 15°Be to 17°Be, which is 3 times more than Sea Brine (2.5°Be to 3° Be). Studies reveal that about a 1,000,000 cu,mtrs of Brine can be extracted per annum which is equivalent to 200,000 Tons of Salt.

Currently, Nyanza Mines produces and markets two products – Chumvi Mawe (coarse salt) and Chumvi Nzuri (refined salt). Our brand is existing in the market for years and is well known and well recognised. The export market accounts for about 60% of our sales volume, which is mainly to Burundi and DRC. The local market which is about 40% covers areas up to Mpanda in the South, Ngara in the North and Tabora to the West of Tanzania.
