Amigo Resources has been granted two processing licences by the Mining Commission of Tanzania, marking a significant operational milestone for the London-listed mining development company.
The licences, PCL/00496/2026 for Kabete Mines and PCL/0352/2026 for Mojimoto, provide the formal regulatory framework to develop modular processing infrastructure supporting exploration, metallurgical evaluation, ore aggregation and small-scale mining integration across multiple project areas.
The company has commenced planning for modular processing hubs at both sites, intended to support gravity-based mineral recovery, ore aggregation and toll treatment services, metallurgical test work, integration of artisanal and primary mining licence operators, and evaluation of ultra-fine mineral recovery systems.
“The grant of these Processing Licences represents an important operational milestone for the Company and supports our strategy of establishing scalable mineral processing infrastructure within Tanzania,” said company chief executive - Mining Operations Africa Anil Kumar Reddy.
“Kabete provides an opportunity to evaluate specialised recovery methodologies for sulphide-associated and potentially refractory gold systems, while Mojimoto advances our integrated exploration and processing strategy within the Lake Victoria Goldfield region.”
Company chairperson Craig Ransley said the processing licences advance Amigo's strategy of integrating modular processing, AI-assisted exploration and advanced metallurgical evaluation into a differentiated platform for both exploration and specialised beneficiation of complex mineral systems.
The company believes that developing shared, centralised processing infrastructure may form the foundation of a scalable mineral processing platform capable of supporting multiple gold and polymetallic opportunities across its Tanzanian portfolio.
Conventional free-milling gold is expected to be a significant component, but Amigo is also evaluating recovery methods for ultra-fine and refractory-associated gold fractions, alongside nickel, chromium and early-stage PGM indicators at Mojimoto.
