Graphite is a naturally occurring mineral that is widely used in various industries, including batteries, refractories, lubricants, and the production of steel and aluminum. Tanzania is one of the countries in Africa with significant graphite reserves, and Baridi Group Ltd is one of the major players in the graphite industry in Tanzania.
Baridi Group Ltd is a Tanzanian-based company that specializes in the exploration, extraction, and processing of natural resources. The company holds 37 licenses for both exploration and extraction of graphite, covering a total area of 827 square kilometers. These licenses are spread across various regions of Tanzania.
Geological reports suggest that Tanzania has significant deposits of graphite, with estimates of not less than 200 million tons of graphite ore. Baridi Group’s mining licenses cover some of the richest graphite deposits in Tanzania, with the Mahenge region being particularly noteworthy.
Baridi Group’s graphite mining operations in Tanzania involve both exploration and extraction. The exploration phase involves prospecting and drilling to identify the location and size of the graphite deposits. This phase also involves environmental impact assessments and community consultations to ensure that the mining activities are conducted in a sustainable and responsible manner.
Once the graphite deposits are identified, the extraction phase begins. This involves the construction of mines and processing plants to extract and refine the graphite ore. Baridi Group uses modern mining techniques, such as open-pit mining, to extract the graphite ore from the ground. The extracted ore is then processed to remove impurities and produce high-quality graphite flakes.
Baridi Group is committed to operating in a sustainable and responsible manner. The company has implemented various environmental and social programs to mitigate the impact of its mining activities on the local communities and the environment. These programs include reforestation, water conservation, and community development initiatives.
