adminMs Musharu, however, refused to disclose the name of the investor and the amount that has been injected into the project save to say that the joint venture will be known as Broclan Mine (Private) Limited.
She said the mine covered 2 000 hectares of land from the confluence of Munyati and Muzvezve rivers to the confluence of the latter and Sebakwe River.
“The shareholding structure is 51 percent for ZWM and 49 percent for our Belgian counterparts which is in line with indigenisation laws,” she said.
She said more than 20kg of gold would be produced per month. The investor has already brought some equipment to start work that included graders, tractors, generators and scrubbers, she said.
Ms Musharu said to technically equip the women, ZWM sent 35 members to the School of Mines last year and this year expected to double the number.
ZWM organising secretary Ms Febbie Mabulani commended the Government for empowering formerly disadvantaged groups including women through allocation of mining concessions.
“We thank Government for coming up with favourable laws and policies that empower women,” she said. Gold deliveries from the small-scale players have increased since the country adopted multi-currencies in 2009.
Before that, small miners were selling the precious stone to informal traders who took it out of the country illegally. – New Ziana.
