The platinum miner, Mimosa Mining Company is retrenching 33 managers and supervisors and abandoning a key expansion project in response to falling global metal prices.
In a statement, the company said platinum prices fell by 35% since April last year, hitting its cash flows and profits. It said:
<blockquote>
The outlook is that the prices will remain depressed in the medium term. In view of this, we have had to implement several measures to ensure that our business remains viable in the low-price metal environment.
This has resulted in a staff rationalisation exercise, which has affected 33 managerial and supervisory employees.
</blockquote>
Mimosa also said it has offered severance to 34 employees while nine opted for early retirement. The company said:
<blockquote>
No further rationalisation of the permanent staff complement is planned at this stage.
</blockquote>
Mimosa, however, said people remain the most important part of the business and said its workers have been engaged about the whole issue.
According to <a href="https://newzwire.live/platinum-crisis-33-managers-lose-jobs-at-mimosa-us100m-expansion-project-on-hold/">newZWire</a>, Mimosa previously said it planned to spend up to US$100 million to develop a new mining area, called North Hill.
The area has a resource of 1.5 million ounces of platinum and would replace the South Hill area, which is running out.
The company has had to abandon this plan, according to results released earlier by Sibanye Stillwater, the South African miner that co-owns Mimosa with Impala Platinum.
The commodity price crisis will deeply affect Zimbabwe, as this has led to a decrease in export earnings.
For instance, in the first nine months of 2023, export earnings fell from $4.5 billion to $3.6 billion compared to the same period the previous year.

Mimosa Mine Lays Off 33 Managers

Mines and Mining Development Minister Winston Chitando could cancel Todal Mining’s licence after the investor reportedly abandoned the project.
The Todal Mining claims are adjacent to AngloPlat’s Unki Mine in Shurugwi, Midlands Province.
According to a report by <a href="https://www.theindependent.co.zw/local-news/article/200010152/minister-sweats-over-idle-platinum-miner">The Zimbabwe Independent</a>, Todal’s claims were taken from Anglo-American Platinum over a decade ago and handed to Central African Mining &amp; Exploration.
The company was later bought by Eurasian Natural Resources, which later became Eurasian Resources Group.
The Zimbabwe Independent reported Ministry of Mines sources as saying authorities had not heard from Todal investors for a while now. Said a source:
<blockquote>
The lack of development at Bokai and Kinonde concessions by Todal Mining has continued to be of concern to authorities.
Chitando is now under increasing pressure to cancel the deal at a time when investment in platinum mining continues to attract investors.
The proprietors of the project are nowhere to be found. They have literally dumped the project.
One of the local partners (name supplied) has been globetrotting and is nowhere to be found.
</blockquote>
The permanent secretary in the Ministry of Mines, Pfungwa Kunaka, was quoted as saying:
<blockquote>
There were indications that the project was being transferred to Defold, which is another parastatal.
We are still gathering information internally and will revert.
</blockquote>
Defold is a parastatal in the ministry, which is now chaired by the former permanent secretary, Onismo Mazai Moyo.
The publication reported that Mazai said he could not comment as the transfer of Todal to Delford was not yet complete.
Todal’s local partner Valentine Garacho did not respond to questions.
Questions sent to Eurasia Resources Group via e-mail were also not responded to.
Todal was expected to produce an average of 150 000 tonnes of platinum ore per month over a 20-year period.
The investor, however, required a US$250 million investment to start operations.
Last year, Cabinet instructed Chitando to make a follow-up on the project. He reportedly informed Todal Mining that its concessions could be seized because no progress was made in developing them.
Information, Publicity, and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa told a post-Cabinet briefing said then:
<blockquote>
Cabinet also considered the need to get the Todal-Bokai Platinum Project next to Unki Mine into production as soon as possible so that it contributes to the US$12 billion mining industry milestone.
The mines minister was also tasked to follow up on the issue accordingly.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe has only three platinum projects in full production. Great Dyke Investments’ Darwendale project is yet to take off, while the Karo Resources project is still in its infancy.

Mines Minister Under Pressure To Cancel Idle Platinum Deal | Report

The World Bank has projected that Zimbabwe’s economy will grow at a modest growth rate in 2023 against a weakening global economic growth outlook, according to Xinhua.
Speaking at the Economic and Business Outlook Symposium, organized by the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries in the Zimbabwean capital of Harare on Wednesday, World Bank Senior Economist for Zimbabwe Stella Illieva said Zimbabwe’s economic growth is projected to be around 3.6 per cent in 2023, a slight increase from 3.4 per cent recorded in 2022.
Commenting on global growth projections, Illieva said growth in the sub-Saharan Africa region is more promising than the global outlook, as global growth is expected to decelerate to 1.7 per cent this year, the weakest in three decades.
She said rising geopolitical tensions and trade fragmentation elsewhere as well as climate change shocks will result in a significant slowdown of growth.
Illieva added that weakening economic activities in the global economy will have spillover effects on emerging markets and developing countries, which include Zimbabwe. She said:
<blockquote>
Aggressive monetary policy tightening to contain high inflation, deteriorating financial conditions, and continued disruptions from the war in Ukraine are the drivers of this worsening economic performance on a global scale.
</blockquote>
Growth in South Africa, the major trading partner of Zimbabwe, is expected to weaken further this year to 1.4 per cent before reaching 1.8 per cent in 2024, she said.
In addition, Illieva said the weak growth in global markets will have an adverse effect on the prices of metals and other commodities which Zimbabwe depends on. She said: 
<blockquote>
Prices of gold, tobacco, and platinum have been in decline since 2022; this trend is expected to continue this year, at least for gold and tobacco.
</blockquote>
She added that unfavourable terms of trade mean higher import bills and cost of living, fewer exports, and pressure on the domestic currency and labour market.
Her projections are slightly lower than the 3.8 per cent projections made by Finance and Economic Development Minister <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mthuli_Ncube">Mthuli Ncube</a> last year during the presentation of the <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/2023-budget-allocations-to-government-departments/">2023 national budget last November</a>.
Ncube said the growth would be driven by favourable international commodity prices, a good agricultural season, and tight monetary and fiscal policy, among other reasons.

World Bank Projects Zimbabwe's Economy Will Have A Modest Growth Rate In 2023

Local platinum producers are considering pooling resources to construct a precious metals refinery.
Mimosa Mining Company general manager, Mr Stephen Ndiyamba, told <a href="https://www.sundaymail.co.zw/platinum-miners-mull-pooling-resources-for-refinery">The Sunday Mail Business</a> that it makes economic sense to collaborate with other platinum miners. Ndiyamba said:
<blockquote>
As you might know, there are other organisations that are currently looking at setting up smelters, and the discussions are at various levels – board and shareholder levels – to see how we can combine forces and also send our concentrates for in-country processing.
What is left on the ground is 10 years on South Hill, and if we develop the North Hill shaft, we can get another 12 years. If you take a life of a mine of 22 years and invest US$100 million in a smelter, it’s not enough time for you to recover that investment.
So, from a business point of view, you don’t then recover that capital investment.
Sending platinum concentrates to another company’s smelter, in which case the miner is only charged treatment fees, makes economic sense.
</blockquote>
Chamber of Mines of Zimbabwe chief executive officer, Mr Isaac Kwesu, indicated that “the miners are already smelting some of their platinum and sending it out as matte, but with more production, they would need to reduce costs by pooling resources (to build a refinery)”.
Most platinum producers currently export platinum in concentrate form, with only Zimplats beneficiating it to matte.
Analysts say the establishment of a refinery would significantly increase revenue from platinum since the country hosts huge platinum deposits.
Zimbabwe has the second-largest platinum deposits in the world after South Africa and has been pushing mining firms operating in the country to build beneficiation facilities.
In 2015, the Government imposed a 15 per cent tax on raw platinum exports to encourage companies to beneficiate the mineral locally.
The <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/biti-says-finance-minister-ncubes-proposed-tax-holidays-for-platinum-miners-are-unjust/">levy was later suspended</a> after the miners agreed to a timeline to build local facilities.
In 2020, Treasury announced a new tax that was supposed to be effective early this year, but it <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/biti-says-finance-minister-ncubes-proposed-tax-holidays-for-platinum-miners-are-unjust/">was deferred</a> to January 2023.
Platinum miners currently export the mineral largely in the raw or semi-processed state to South Africa for refining.

Local Platinum Producers Considering Constructing A Precious Metals Refinery

The Zimbabwean government wants gold, diamond and platinum miners to pay half of their royalties to the government in the commodities themselves and the rest in cash.
Finance and Economic Development Permanent Secretary <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/George_Guvamatanga">George Guvamatanga</a> said the move is aimed at building the southern African country’s mineral reserves.
In a letter sent to the Ministry of Mines on September 2, 2022, Guvamatanga said the Treasury was concerned that the country does not have reserves of the minerals, which “serve as a source of trust in a country given that they carry no credit or counterparty risks,” 
Guvamatanga confirmed the Treasury’s plans in a phone interview with Bloomberg on Friday saying “It’s something we want to implement.” 
Polite Kambambura, deputy mines minister, said in a phone interview that consultations are still being undertaken with miners, including multiple meetings this week. He said:
<blockquote>
The whole idea by the Ministry of Finance is that they want to store value of our royalty.
</blockquote>
Mining companies that operate in Zimbabwe include subsidiaries of Impala Platinum Ltd., Anglo American Platinum Ltd. and Sibanye Gold Ltd. 
Zimbabwe has the world’s third-largest reserves of platinum and also mines gold, diamonds, nickel, chrome, lithium and coal.

Govt Wants Miners To Pay Royalties In Diamonds, Gold, Platinum

Mines and Mining Development Minister Winston Chitando and Zimplats chief executive Alex Mhembere signed a Memorandum of Agreement on Monday morning that will see the mining firm investing US$1.4 billion to boost its operations.
The signing of the memorandum took place at the State House in Harare and was witnessed by President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Vice President Constantino Chiwenga.
Zimplats is also targeting to develop a new mine, expand the capacity of its smelter, construct an additional concentrator, base metal refinery, sulphuric acid plant and the setting up of a 110 MW solar power plant.
Speaking after the signing of the memorandum of understanding, President Mnangagwa noted that the envisaged humongous investment by the platinum miner, which is Zimbabwe’s largest mining company, was crucial towards local value addition and beneficiation. He said:
<blockquote>
The envisaged investment of US$14 billion by ZIMPLATS is a welcome development. This will see the setting up of integrated projects, including the development of a new mine; expansion of the smelter, construction of an additional concentrator, base metal refinery, sulphuric acid plant and the setting up of a 110 MW solar power plant.
Government welcomes the intention by ZIMPLATS to construct a Base Metal Refinery as a crucial step towards local mineral beneficiation and value addition of the platinum group of metals.
The sulphuric acid plant, will contribute strategic raw materials needed in the local manufacturing of fertilizers and help reduce the importation of sulphuric acid.
The adoption and use of smart energy sources by ZIMPLATS through integrating the development of a 110 MW solar power plant is also commendable.
</blockquote>

Zimplats To Invest US$1.4 Billion In New And Existing Projects

Unki Mines has invested US$48 million towards increasing its concentrator capacity, which is expected to boost output by 30 per cent.
Unki Mines general manager, Walter Nemasasi, said the new concentrator was set for commissioning sometime in September this year.
He said the new plant was now 75 per cent complete and is expected to help cut operational costs.
Nemasasi revealed this while briefing the Minister of State for Presidential Affairs responsible for monitoring and implementation of Government programmes, Jorum Gumbo, during a recent visit to the Shurugwi-based platinum mine. He said:
<blockquote>Once it becomes operational, the project is expected to increase production of platinum group concentrate at the plant by 30 per cent and ultimately increase exports by the same margin.
We are expecting to commission the new project by September and the total value will be around $48 million.
… The project is so huge in that once we finish, we will increase our production from 180 000 tonnes a month to 210 000 tonnes a month.
We will then cut our transport costs by 60 per cent as most of the ore will be processed here before being exported for separation of base metals and precious stones.</blockquote>
Minister Gumbo said he was impressed by the fact that the new project has created more jobs for local people.
He said Unki is also consulting traditional leaders in all the developments it is undertaking and he urged all mines to take a cue from the platinum miner.

Unki Mines Invests US$48m To Increase Plant Capacity

The Africa Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) has completed the due diligence study for Great Dyke Investments’ platinum project.
This was revealed by Great Dyke Investments (GDI) chief executive officer Mr Alex Ivanov who was quoted by Bloomberg as saying the development allows the bank to proceed with a US$500 million syndicated funding programme.
Great Dyke Investments is a joint venture between Russia’s Vi Holdings and Zimbabwe’s Landela Mining Venture (Pvt) Limited and is investing US$3 billion into the operation presently under development in Darwendale.
Bloomberg further claimed that funding would be at the end of the year. Ivanov said:
<blockquote>The project funding structure envisages participation of various types of equity investors as well as lenders.
The specific stake to be acquired by potential investors would largely depend on their overall appetite for the project.</blockquote>
The development comes when has announced an ambitious plan to transform the <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/10/15/ed-rolls-out-us12-billion-minerals-strategic-roadmap/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">country’s mining sector into a US$12 billion industry in the next four years.</a>
Zimbabwe is endowed with  variety of natural resources including minerals – gold, diamonds, platinum and coal; flora and fauna.
Meanwhile, some claim that the state is misusing resources which could have transformed the lives of the citizenry.
These remarks were confirmed by the late former president, Robert Mugabe who claimed that <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2018/06/09/zimbabwe-wont-recover-missing-15-billion-diamonds-revenue/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Zimbabwe had lost about US$15 billion due to diamond leakage in Marange, Manicaland</a>.

Assessment Of Russia-Zim Platinum Project Complete

The Zimbabwe military’s involvement in mining has stalled the development of the country’s biggest platinum mine at a cost of about US$4 billion, a report claims.
The mining project, which is a joint venture between Russian and Zimbabwean investors seeks to raise capital through the Cairo-based African Export-Import Bank.
Though the African Export-Import Bank has reportedly provided $192 million of its own funds, meetings with investors including South Africa’s Public Investment Corporation, the continent’s biggest fund manager, failed to raise additional capital.
According to reports, the stumbling block is that the Zimbabwe Defence Industries, which holds 30% of the joint venture with Zimbabwe Mining Development, known as Great Dyke Investments, was once a subject of United States sanctions.
According to Peter Major, a mining analyst at Mergence Corporate Solutions in Cape Town:
<blockquote>If there is any kind of military shareholding it will make western investors very uncomfortable, especially the banks.
Who is going to risk it? I think they will battle to get funding from traditional and western institutions.</blockquote>
The US Treasury imposed sanctions on the Zimbabwe Defence Industries in 2004 over violence and other electoral irregularities in the 2000 and 2002 elections.

Military Stake Holding Back $4bn Zimbabwe Platinum Project - Report

Fin24 reports that the Zimbabwean government has penned an agreement with the Russian Federation for a new platinum mine worth R55 billion.
The mine will be developed on a prospect held by Great Dyke Investment, a company jointly owned by a Russian state-controlled company and the Zimbabwean government.
The deal was revealed by the Deputy Minister of Mines and Mining Development, Polite Kambamura in Johannesburg where he was attending a conference. Kambamura is quoted as saying:
<blockquote>Two weeks ago we finalised the agreement and the Russians are ready to come on the ground.</blockquote>
The deal was initially signed in 2014 but there has not been progress since.

Zim-Russia Seal Deal For New Platinum Mine

Minister of Mines and Mining Development Walter Chidhakwa has said that the government is working on building a 300 000 tonne platinum refinery plant. The plant which is expected to cost $200 million will be a joint venture with Australia-based firm Kelltech. In terms of shareholding, Keltech will own 49 percent, State-owned Zimbabwe Mining Development Company (ZMDC) will own 30 percent and Golden Sparrow will own 21 percent. Golden Sparrow is headed by labour lawyer Caleb Mucheche.
Said Chidhakwa:
<blockquote>We have been trying to use taxation but until we have established a facility to process locally the companies will continue to argue that we are being unfair. Once we have processing capacity locally we will institute a law that the amount of concentrate produced first takes care of the capacity that would have been established locally before it can be exported.
We have made it clear that as soon as a refinery is built locally, we would want processing done locally.</blockquote>
