Nyanzaga Gold Project: Reception in Dar es Salaam to share progress, May 2026

Last week, Perseus brought together the people helping make the Nyanzaga Gold Project a reality – government officials, project partners, financiers, suppliers and the team on the ground – for a reception in Dar es Salaam to share progress and mark the milestone of being halfway through construction. Nyanzaga is a joint venture between Perseus Mining (80%) and the Government of Tanzania (20%), and will be our fourth operating mine on the African continent. Managing Director and CEO Craig Jones spoke to the strength of the project’s local foundations – 3,000 employees and contractors currently on site, 97% of whom are Tanzanian – and reaffirmed Perseus’s commitment to sustainability, local development, and long-term economic contribution to Tanzania. Craig reflected on what makes projects like this work: genuine alignment between government, community, business, and workforce and the trust that has to be built and maintained to get there.
