    1.0 JOB PURPOSE

    The Head of Mines is the most senior technical and operational leader responsible for all quarry and mining activities at the Dangote Cement Limited Tanzania Limestone Mines located at Mbuo Village, Mayanga Ward, Mtwara Rural District. The mine holds Special Mining Lease SML 495/2013 (11.27 Sq.Km, Active — 2 Blocks) and three additional Mining Leases (ML 00616, 00617, 00618/2017) covering a total mineral rights area of 37.96 Km² with estimated limestone resources of 666,955,677 MT — sufficient to sustain the 3.0 MTPA cement plant for 187 years.

    The role is accountable for the safe, efficient, and cost-effective extraction of mix grade limestone (bench 8–10M), high grade (HG) limestone (bench 2.5–3M), and top red soil/clay from the multi-layer open cast deposit, together with systematic overburden removal of top red soil (0–2.5M), shale inter-burden (3–5M), and marl/sandstone layers. The Head of Mines oversees in-house drilling and blasting operations using the Flexiroc D60 drill fleet (150mm, rotary percussive), the full Dangote-owned HEMM fleet of 16 equipment types, crusher feed quality and throughput control, compliance with all Tanzania mining and environmental regulations (TMAA, MEM, NEMC, Tanzania Explosives Act), and long-term mine planning to ensure uninterrupted raw material supply to the plant.

    2.0 KEY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES 

    2.1 Mine Planning, Reserve Management & Licence Compliance

    • Develop and implement short-term (Daily/monthly/quarterly), medium-term (annual), and long-term (life-of-mine) mining plans for all active and future mining lease areas across Block 1 and Block 2 of SML 495/2013 and MLs 00616, 00617, and 00618/2017.
    • Manage the orderly and systematic mining sequence across active blocks, ensuring adequate limestone bench exposure, inter-burden clearing, and raw material stockpile maintenance at all times.
    • Maintain and regularly update mine reserve estimates using survey data, blast reconciliations, and geological assessments — protecting the 187-year long-term resource base.
    • Coordinate with the Survey Engineer for regular bench profiling (particularly HG L.ST: 7M and feedable grade: 2M bench levels), topographic surveys, and volumetric production reconciliation.
    • Ensure full statutory compliance and on-time reporting to TMAA and MM for SML 495/2013; actively support and monitor the process of formal licence issuance for ML 00616, 00617, and 00618/2017.
