North Mara Gold Mine is a combined open pit and underground gold mine in the Tarime District of the Mara Region of Tanzania. It is one of three gold mines of Acacia Mining plc, a company listed on the London Stock Exchange, that operates in Tanzania, the other two being Bulyanhulu and the Buzwagi Gold Mine.
The mine has been controversial in the local community, with an attack on the mine in 2008. Though parts of the government and the operating company deny it, a 2016 study counted at least 20 local deaths and nearly 1000 cattle.[1]
