Valuation & netback
Two models for gold, PGM, lithium and chrome: a quick gross metal value, and a full netback & project NPV that subtracts the real cost stack — Zimbabwe statutory royalty, MMCZ commission, TC/RC, transport, mining and processing — to payable value, netback per tonne, operating margin and a discounted-cashflow NPV. Outputs are illustrative and indicative — not investment advice or a compliant resource/economic study.

MMCZ & Zimbabwe's beneficiation mandate
The channel is structured to align with Zimbabwe's value-addition policy — ensuring concession and processing JVs comply with MMCZ frameworks and in-country beneficiation requirements.
MMCZ registration
All mineral marketing must flow through the Minerals Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe. The channel helps concession holders register assets and meet MMCZ compliance before any off-take structure.
Value-addition over raw export
Zimbabwe's Mines & Minerals Act and ZIDA policy incentivise beneficiation in-country. JVs structured through this channel prioritise local processing — aligning economic returns with policy.
ZIDA investment certificates
Foreign capital into Zimbabwean mining requires ZIDA registration. The channel coordinates this process, supporting concession holders through the investment certificate application and RBZ exchange-control requirements.
