Mabwe Minerals is entering the early stages of bringing a new high quality source of barite into commercial production.  Barite is used as a weighting agent in the oil & gas drilling sector to offset formation pressures during the drilling process. Other barite applications include paint, automotive and medical.

The company has entered into a Master Supplier Agreement representing 3,000,000 tons of crude barite at a rate of 220,000 tons/year to support the oil & gas drilling needs of the Gulf of Mexico, home to the largest concentration of active deep water drilling rigs.  Dodge Mine barite production will be managed by Mabwe Minerals' minority owned WGB Kinsey & Company, one of Zimbabwe's most experienced mining and construction companies representing 4 generations of Kinsey family leadership.
