The Zimbabwe Mining Development Corporation chairman Mr Goodwills Masimirembwa confirmed the development in an interview on Thursday.
“Negotiations with them started about a year ago and they are now on the ground doing some exploration work,” he said. “They are in partnership with the ZMDC on a 50-50 percent basis and as we speak, we have installed processing equipment. Some more equipment is being imported and mining is expected to commence in February next year.”

Asked on their choice of the West Africans, Mr Masimirembwa said: “Why not Ghanaians? They are Africans. They applied and were given a licence.
“We are saying the same thing to Zimbabweans in diamonds and other mining sectors. Zimbabweans should come forward and put their resources together and approach the ZMDC.
“We have numerous mining opportunities in gold, diamonds, iron ore and lithium, among others.”
