Tanzania inadaiwa kudondokea pua katika mwendelezo wa kesi zinazoikabili ambapo sasa itatakiwa kuilipa Kampuni ya Montero zaidi ya Tsh. Bilioni 71 kama fidia kwa kukiuka masharti ya mkataba.

Inadaiwa kuwa tayari Novemba 20, 2024, Serikali imeshalipa Tsh. Bilioni 30 na zilizobaki inatakiwa kuzilipa mara mbili kati ya January na Februari 2025.

Imekuwa ni kawaida sasa kwa Tanzania kushindwa kwenye mahakama za kimataifa.

Rejea pia kesi hii: Tanzania kuilipa Indiana Resources Ltd Bilioni 237 baada ya kuvunja mkataba mwaka 2018. Yatanguliza Bilioni 92

Kesi nyingine: Wanasheria wa Serikali Wakwama Mahakama ya Kimataifa. Bilioni 300 Kuchotwa

Kwanini hii Serikali inakiuka ovyo mikataba na kutia hasara nchi? Kwanini wanasheria wetu wanatuangusha kiasi hiki? Kwanini kesi hizi zinaendeshwa kimya kimya? Au ni miradi ya upigaji wa watu? Maswali ni mengi.

KIFAHAMU KILIMA WA WIGU KILICHOPO KISAKI MOROGORO KIKICHOSABABISHA FIDIA YA US$ 27,000,000

Hiki kilima cha madini ya kipekee adimu kilichopo Kisaki Morogoro kinachojulikana kama Wigu Hill

Montero Mining & Exploration (CVE:MON) ilifanya ugunduzi wa elementi adimu za dunia nchini Tanzania.

Montero alianza shughuli za uchunguzi wa mradi wa Wigu Hill Rare Earth Element uliopo karibu na mji wa Kisaki katika mkoa wa Morogoro nchini Tanzania mwaka 2008 chini ya Leseni ya Utafutaji madini.


Mnamo 2015, Leseni ya Uhifadhi wa miaka mitano ilitolewa na Serikali ya Tanzania kwenye mali hiyo.


Hata hivyo, Leseni ya Uhifadhi ilichukuliwa na Serikali ya Tanzania mwaka 2018 wakati Kanuni mpya za Uchimbaji (Maudhui ya Ndani) zilipofuta Leseni zote za Uhifadhi zilizotolewa hapo awali.


Mnamo mwaka wa 2019, Serikali ya Tanzania ilitangaza hadharani na kufungua zabuni ya Leseni za Uhifadhi wa awali.

Montero aliwasilisha ombi la usuluhishi kwa ICSID mwaka wa 2021, ili kuhifadhi haki zake. Kesi hiyo inaendelea. Wakati huo huo, Vital Metals (ASX: VML), mchimbaji madini adimu wa kwanza wa Kanada, alitia saini makubaliano ya uundaji wa mradi na chaguo na Montero kupata na kuendeleza mradi wa Wigu Hill.


Katika ripoti yake ya robo mwaka ya Desemba 2022, Vital inaeleza iliendelea na majadiliano kuhusu utoaji wa Leseni ya Uchimbaji Madini kwa ajili ya mradi wa dunia adimu wa Wigu Hill.

Wigu Hill Rare Earth Element Project

Montero Mining & Exploration (CVE:MON) made discoveries of rare earth elements in Tanzania. Montero commenced exploration activities on the Wigu Hill Rare Earth Element project located near the town of Kisaki in the Morogoro region of Tanzania in 2008 under a Prospecting License.

In 2015 a five-year Retention License was awarded by the Tanzanian Government on the property. However, the Retention License was expropriated by Tanzanian Government in 2018 when the new Mining (Local Content) Regulations cancelled all previously issued Retention Licenses.

In 2019, the Tanzanian Government announced the public and open tender of previous Retention Licenses. Montero filed a request for arbitration with the ICSID in 2021, in order to preserve its rights. The litigation is ongoing. Meanwhile, Vital Metals (ASX: VML), Canada’s first rare earth miner, signed a project development and option agreement with Montero to acquire and develop the Wigu Hill project.

In its December 2022 quarterly report, Vital explains it continued discussions regarding the issuance of a Mining Licence for the Wigu Hill rare earth project.
