Beneficiation,
not extraction.
Zimbabwe holds one of the world's most concentrated mineral endowments — gold, platinum group metals, lithium, chrome, diamonds. This channel structures beneficiation JVs and concession investments into USD-denominated vehicles, MMCZ-registered and ZIDA-compliant.

The thesis
The raw export era
is over.
Zimbabwe's Mines & Minerals Act and the MMCZ's value-addition mandate have structurally shifted the economics of Zimbabwean mineral investment. Raw chrome, unprocessed lithium spodumene, and doré gold all carry regulatory headwinds — while beneficiation-ready JVs command policy tailwinds, ZIDA incentives, and superior off-take optionality.
This channel was built for that reality. Every concession, every JV, every off-take structure is designed around in-country processing — from gravity CIL gold plants to ferrochrome upgrades to spodumene concentrate facilities.
Submit a JV or concessionMMCZ Registration
All Zimbabwean mineral marketing must route through the Minerals Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe. We help concession holders achieve MMCZ compliance before any off-take or capital structure is formalised.
In-country beneficiation priority
JVs structured through this channel prioritise local processing — ferrochrome smelting over chromite export, spodumene concentrate over raw pegmatite, refined doré over raw gold. This aligns economic returns with Zimbabwe's beneficiation policy incentives.
ZIDA investment certificates
Foreign capital into Zimbabwean mining requires Zimbabwe Investment and Development Agency registration. We coordinate the full application alongside RBZ exchange-control requirements, streamlining the path to investable structure.
