Zimbabwe invites investment in underground chrome mining

Open For Business

Zimbabwe last week invited chrome mining investors to focus on under­ground chromium operations rather than cheaper strip mining operations, from which most of the country’s chromium ore is currently extracted.

In a keynote opening address to the packed thirty­third Chromium Conference, Zimbabwe’s permanent secretary of the Ministry of Mines and Mining Development, Munesushe Munodawafa, expressed the view that the future of chrome mining in the country lay in underground mining rather than the current opencast methods, which he described as being limited in both quantity and quality.

“The future of chrome mining in Zimbabwe is in the developing of underground opera­tions,” Munodawafa told the record number of 260 delegates from many parts of the world.

He urged investors in underground chrome mining operations to consider partnerships with Zimbabwe’s small­scale miners.
