GMC Ashariq is a strategic alliance between GMC Group Middle East and Ashariq Group — uniting three decades of mining and industrial leadership across Egypt, the Middle East and Tanzania.
The merger of GMC Group and Ashariq Group creates a premier mining entity for Tanzania — with the technical depth of an international cement-quarry operator and the on-the-ground expertise of a trusted Tanzanian commercial partner.
The result is a single organisation capable of executing the full value chain: from initial geological assessment through extraction, processing, and rehabilitation, all to international engineering standards.
Three decades of proven success in mining and industrial activities across the African continent — with a portfolio that includes work for LafargeHolcim, Suez Cement (Heidelberg), Egyptian Cement, El Sewedy and Orascom.
International best practice from the Middle East fused with deep-rooted local expertise in Tanzania — ensuring every project meets global engineering benchmarks while remaining commercially grounded in regional realities.
Strategic growth driven by technological innovation, rigorous geostatistics, modern blast monitoring (MDL, MREL) and a relentless focus on the quality and consistency of the materials we deliver.
GMC Ashariq stands at the forefront of a transformative journey in Tanzania's mining sector. By integrating sustainable practices and technological advancement, we strive to enhance economic contribution while ensuring environmental stewardship.
Our vision is to create a mining model that not only drives profitability but also fosters community engagement and ecological responsibility — setting a benchmark for future operations across the continent.
Integrating cutting-edge practices and technological advancement to drive efficiency at every operational stage.
Enhancing national contributions while ensuring rigorous environmental stewardship.
Creating a model for mining that prioritises community engagement and ecological integrity.
Tanzania's mining sector has surpassed government targets ahead of schedule — and now sits at the heart of one of the most ambitious resource development programmes on the continent.
Mining sector contribution to GDP reached 10.1% in 2024 — surpassing the 2025 target ahead of schedule.
Government focus on value addition and local content aims to increase mineral revenue contribution from 16% to 50%.
Tanzania's ambitious goal is to expand mineral exploration coverage to 50% of the country's landmass by 2030.
