Exhibition Reschedule

Members of the Media fraternity,

The Federation of Miners’ Associations of Tanzania (FEMATA) would like to take this
opportunity to announce as way of conveying the message to Tanzania mining stakeholders
regarding rescheduling of dates for the TANZANIA MINING WEEK 2023 occasion that
was originally scheduled to run from 21st through out to 28 April 2023 in the city of Mwanza.
FEMATA prays this message reaches miners, small and big; government Ministries,
Departments and Agencies (MDAs); banks and financial institutions; the media fraternity in
their media houses; Development Partners (DPs); Civil Society Organizations (CSOs);
researchers and academia tasked with the mining industry. 

This message should also reach out to mines service providers and suppliers; public policy experts; international and multilateral institutions; and the public at large planning or registered to participate in the TANZANIA MINING WEEK 2023 so they take note of the changes. The dates for the TANZANIA MINING WEEK 2023 have been rescheduled from April 21-28 to May 03-
10, 2023.

However, the said changes are strictly and only confined to dates for congregating
TANZANIA MINING WEEK 2023, leaving unaffected, the operational plans, including
registrations for participation to the occasion as participants or exhibitors, coordination of
expert workshops, execution of mining conferences, convening of FEMATA Annual
General Meeting (AGM) and the related aspects.

The change of dates is primarily a strategy of avoiding potential compromise of efficiency
and effectiveness during congregation of TANZANIA MINING WEEK 2023, hence
skipping the earlier chosen week’s dates. The principal cause for rescheduling of dates is
therefore, rather the noted interruption of public holidays coupled with the scheduled
presentation and parliamentary debating of the Ministry of Minerals budget in the august
house. The potential interruptions are due to Eid El Fitr and Union Day public holidays,
respectively expected on April 22, 23 and 24, while the presentation and debating of the
Ministry of Mining budget is slated on April 27 and 28, 2023 respectively.

As way of opinion, FEMATA would like to suggest to stakeholders that they use such fallow
created opportunity to visit our website https://www.femata.or.tz and register to take part in
the TANZANIA MINING WEEK 2023. Moreover, we kindly request our partners and
members to expedite and continue funding, depositing their contributions in the FEMATA
bank accounts as a way of making TANZANIA MINING WEEK 2023 a success.
Please accept our innermost regrets for inconveniences caused by unintended rescheduling
of the TANZANIA MINING WEEK 2023 occasion. We shall keep stakeholders posted
through our media partner, AZAM Media.
