Nickel mining in Tanzania is not as prominent as gold or other minerals, but the country does have significant nickel reserves. One of the notable nickel projects in Tanzania is the Kabanga Nickel Project, located in the Ngara District of the Kagera Region in northwest Tanzania.

The Kabanga Nickel Project is considered one of the world’s largest undeveloped high-grade nickel sulfide deposits, with estimated resources of over 40 million tonnes of nickel. The project is owned by Kabanga Nickel Limited, a joint venture between Barrick Gold Corporation and the Tanzanian government.
