		</div><p>A small-scale miner in Tanzania has become an overnight millionaire after unearthing two of the biggest rough tanzanite gemstones ever found.</p>
<p>Tanzania’s government bought the book-sized stones from miner Saniniu Laizer for £2.74 million.</p>
<p>Minerals minister Doto Biteko said the government is buying the rare minerals for preservation.</p>
<p><em>“We’re signing agreements today in public to facilitate the cash transfer … and the government recognises Laizer is a new billionaire,”</em> he said, speaking in terms of the local currency.</p>
<p>Mr Laizer said in a televised interview he plans to open a shopping centre and a school for his community.</p>
<p><em>“The money that I have received today, I will allocate it to more development activities,”</em> he said.</p>
<p>Tanzania is a rich country, President John Magufuli said when congratulating him.</p>
<p>Tanzanite is found only in the East African country.</p>
<p>Mining activities accounted for 17% of the East African country’s economy in 2019.</p>
<p>Mr Magufuli’s administration has imposed reforms that seek to curb smuggling and increase revenue collection in the sector.</p>
