Read from The Economist and thought relevant to share with you.
Tanzania is no longer a third largest Gold Producer in Africa according to GFMS Gold Survey as quoted by The Economist. South Africa retains its number One position at 240 tonnes of output in 2009. Ghana comes second at 80 tonnes and Mali third at 60 tonnes. Tanzania is now fourth at 50 tonnes in 2009 followed closely by Burkina Faso which doubled its production in the year under review to 40 tonnes. Tanzanian drop to number 4 is not a result of lower growth but higher growth of Mali as in 2009 Tanzania's output grew. (paragraph made by me and statistics from The Economist)
