THE country’s gold output has increased in recent years with artisanal miners accounting for most of the growth, President Emmerson Mnangagwa has said.
In 2019, Zimbabwe set out on a drive to more than quadruple the mining sector revenue by hauling minerals worth US$12 billion by 2023, a target that has since been reached.
Speaking during the just ended Zanu PF annual people’s conference, Mnangagwa said the mining sector had shown impressive resilience as evidenced through “the realisation of the 84 percent capacity utilisation in 2024 with an expected jump to 90 percent between 2024 and 2025”
