Mining & Commodities
Zimbabwe’s mining sector is expected to drive economic growth in the years to come. The country is rich in minerals, with notable reserves of precious minerals including gold and platinum-group-metals (PGM). The mining sector has also shifted from its historical dependency on metal (particularly ferroalloys) to a more diversified basket of metals, minerals and stones. Recent policy developments are also gearing the mining sector towards mineral beneficiation, value addition, cross-sectoral linkages and regional integration - all of which present significant opportunities to local and foreign investors.
