Economy

Mining plays a key role in the local economy. In 1989 the Irish-based Kenmare Resources joined the Government in a joint venture with the Mozambiquan government to exploit graphite deposits in Ancuabe.

Graphites de Ancuabe Ltda. operated a sizeable mine and plant near Ancuabe from 1994 to 1999.^[1] The mined graphite would be transported east to the larger town of Pemba on the coast where the mined material would be cut and processed. Due to a rise in graphite prices work in the mine was suspended in 1999.^[2] In 2007, the Mozambique government announced its intention to re-open the mine, depending on the supply of electricity from the Cahora Bassa dam.^[3]

Transport

The nearest airport is at Pemba Airport, 39 miles (63 km) away.
