About
About Zimbabwe Mines
An independent desk for Zimbabwean mining news, sector numbers and a register of mining ground for sale, with every lot to be verified in person at the provincial mining office.
Mining ground in Zimbabwe changes hands through WhatsApp groups and word of mouth. Too many sales fail on a boundary nobody walked, a lapsed inspection nobody checked or a transfer that never went through the Ministry. Zimbabwe Mines exists to make that market clearer.
What we do
- News with sources. Every story is dated, charted and links to the reports and data it relies on — the Ministry of Mines and Mining Development, Fidelity Gold Refinery, the Minerals Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe (MMCZ), the Chamber of Mines and the sector press.
- A register of tenure. Registered claims, mining leases, special grants and exclusive prospecting orders offered for sale or joint venture, filterable by commodity, province and tenure class.
- Practical guides. What each document in the chain of title proves, and what to check on gold, lithium, chrome and PGM ground before money moves.
How a lot gets onto the register
We ask every seller for three things:
- A certificate of registration, with the registration number and the 1:25,000 map reference it was issued against.
- A current inspection certificate, or production returns showing the ground is in good standing.
- A map reference and beacon positions that can be checked on the ground.
Each lot carries a paperwork label — Check/verify in person at the provincial office, Documents seen or Certificate seen — so a buyer can see exactly how far our checks went. We list ground at whatever stage it has reached and say so plainly, rather than holding it back until every document is in. What we never do is publish the documents themselves.
A check is not a guarantee. Our checks reduce risk; they do not replace your own. Title must be confirmed with the relevant Provincial Mining Director before any money changes hands. Nothing on this site is an offer to sell, and nothing here is investment, legal or mineral-title advice.
What we will never do
- Ask for identity-document, bank or payment details through this website.
- Publish a seller's contact details unless the seller has chosen to make them public.
- Present a figure without saying where it came from.
