President Advocate Duma Gideon Boko is expected to officially open Tataki Mine, formerly known as Tati Nickel Mine, this morning. The mine is located in the North East District in Matsiloje and marks a significant moment in Botswana’s mining sector as it resumes production after a decade of closure.
The reopening of Tataki Mine is set to generate employment opportunities for local communities, provide skills transfer, and safeguard livelihoods for Batswana. The revitalisation also underscores Botswana’s commitment to maintaining a competitive edge in the global mining industry, particularly in nickel production.
The project is expected to attract further investment and strengthen Botswana’s position as a reliable source of critical minerals. Officials highlight that the mine will not only contribute to national economic growth but also support sustainable development initiatives by promoting responsible mining practices.
The reopening of Tataki Mine represents a strategic milestone, combining economic benefits, job creation, and skills development, while reinforcing Botswana’s reputation as a leading mining nation in Africa.
