Precious Metals Mining in Zimbabwe to 2020
M2 - Wed Sep 17, 9:54AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/g874xd/precious_metals) has announced the addition of the "Precious Metals Mining in Zimbabwe to 2020" report to their offering. The 'Precious Metals Mining in Zimbabwe to 2020' report comprehensively covers the country's historical and forecast data on platinum and rough diamond production, reserves and exports to 2020. The report also includes drivers and restraints affecting the industry, profiles of major platinum and diamond mining companies, information on the major active, exploration and development projects and regulations governing the industry. Platinum reserves in the country can be found in the Great Dyke, while diamond reserves are spread across the Marange fields. Diamond production was 10.4 million carats in 2013 majorly from provinces of Manicaland, Matabeleland and Midlands. Rough diamond exports were 9.6 million carats in 2013. In the same year, platinum mine production was around 12.2 tonnes (t), mainly from its platinum producing mines located in the province of Matabeleland South. Key Highlights - While the mining industry is expected to contribute 17.8% towards the country's GDP by 2015, it accounted for US$445 million in taxes to the government in 2012 and formally employed 45,000 people while informally employing more than 500,000. - Mineral exports contributed more than 50% of the country's total export earnings in 2013, while PGM metals and the diamond industry contributed 27.2% and 26.1% respectively towards total mineral exports in 2012. - Although the mining industry is increasingly becoming the backbone of growth, contributing more to GDP, the lack of transparency and accountability in the exploration and exploitation of mineral resources has become one of its key challenges. - Shortages of electricity as a result of Zimbabwe's power crisis are a major hindrance for the country's precious metals mining industry. Key Topics Covered: 1 Executive Summary 2 Precious Metals Mining In Zimbabwe 3 Platinum Mining In Zimbabwe - Reserves and Production 4 Diamond Mining In Zimbabwe - Reserves and Production 5 Competitive Landscape 6 Fiscal Regime 7 Appendix Companies Mentioned - Impala Platinum Holdings Limited - Anglo American Platinum Limited - Zimplats Holdings Limited - Rio Tinto Diamonds For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/g8...ous_metals
