📰 Zimbabwe to Ban Export of Lithium Concentrates: A Push for Local Processing In a bold move to maximize the economic benefits of its vast mineral resources, Zimbabwe has announced a ban on the export of lithium concentrates effective January 2027. The decision, revealed by Mines Minister Winston Chitando during a post-cabinet briefing, builds on the country’s 2022 ban on exporting unprocessed lithium ore. With Africa’s largest lithium reserves, Zimbabwe is now intensifying efforts to ensure greater value addition by mandating that lithium producers process ore into lithium sulphates—a key input for battery production—before export. Why the Ban Matters The policy aims to drive foreign mining companies to invest in local processing and refining facilities, fostering job creation, increasing revenue, and positioning Zimbabwe as a key player in the global lithium supply chain. Lithium sulphates, unlike concentrates, are a higher-value product with direct applications in the booming...

Optimizing Mining Operations: The Power of Heavy-Duty Hammermills Optimizing Mining Operations: The Power of Heavy-Duty Hammermills The mining industry faces relentless pressure to enhance efficiency, maximize productivity, and control operational costs. Central to achieving these objectives is the effective processing of extracted materials. The journey from raw ore to valuable product hinges on reliable and robust crushing technology. Our heavy-duty hammermills are specifically engineered to meet and exceed the rigorous demands of diverse mining operations, providing a powerful solution for consistent material reduction and preparation. Understanding the Hammermill Advantage in Mining A hammermill is a type of impact crusher that employs a series of rotating "hammers" (or beaters) to shatter and disintegrate material. As ore enters the crushing chamber, these high-speed, hardened beaters strike the material repea...

Mine Safety First: Your Essential Guide to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Mine Safety First: Your Essential Guide to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Mining is an industry that powers our world, but it comes with inherent risks. Working deep underground or on surface mine sites presents numerous potential hazards. Therefore, a steadfast commitment to safe mining practices is paramount, and the correct use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is a cornerstone of this commitment. Wearing the right gear is not just a regulation; it's a critical line of defense against injuries and occupational illnesses. This guide outlines the essential safety gear every mine worker must understand and utilize. Head Protection: The Indispensable Hard Hat Why it's crucial: In nearly all areas of a mine, the risk of falling objects – from small rocks to tools – is a constant concern. A hard hat is designed to protect your head...

Heap Leaching vs Vat Leaching Heap Leaching vs Vat Leaching Heap Leaching Involves piling crushed ore on a large, impermeable lined pad. Leaching solution (usually cyanide or acid) is applied by drip or sprinkler irrigation to percolate through the heap and dissolve target minerals. The pregnant solution is collected at the base for metal recovery. Typically used for low-grade ores and large volumes. Advantages: low capital and operating costs, simple setup, suitable for large-scale operations. Disadvantages: slower recovery rates, lower metal recovery efficiency, higher reagent consumption. Commonly used for copper oxide and gold ores. Recovery can range from 30% to over 90%, depending on ore type and conditions. Vat Leaching Ore is crushed and placed inside large tanks or vats. Leaching solution is added to the vat to percolate through t...

Fidelity's One-Stop Centres vs. Traditional Gold Processing Why Fidelity’s One-Stop Centres Are More Effective Than Traditional Gold Processing Methods Fidelity Gold Refinery's one-stop custom elution centres represent a significant leap forward from traditional gold processing methods commonly employed by artisanal and small-scale miners (ASM). Their effectiveness stems from a holistic approach that directly addresses the multifaceted inefficiencies, risks, and limitations inherent in conventional, often fragmented, practices. Consolidated Services vs. Fragmented Operations Traditional gold processing for many small-scale miners involves a disjointed and often arduous journey. Miners might extract ore in one location, travel to another for rudimentary crushing and grinding, seek out informal assay services of varying reliability, purchase chemicals from potentially unregulated suppliers, and then embark on another...

The Pivotal Role of Custom Elution Centres The Pivotal Role of Custom Elution Centres in Boosting Small-Scale Gold Deliveries Custom elution centres are emerging as a linchpin in the strategy to enhance gold deliveries from Zimbabwe's vital artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sector. These specialized facilities, strategically established by entities like Fidelity Gold Refinery, address several critical bottlenecks that have historically hampered the productivity and formal market participation of small-scale miners. Their comprehensive approach is crucial for unlocking the full potential of the ASM sector and channeling more gold into the official system. One of the most significant advantages of custom elution centres is the streamlining of operations . For the small-scale miner, the gold recovery process can be fragmented and inefficient, often involving multiple service providers and considerable travel. These centre...

Fidelity Gold Refinery's Support for Artisanal Miners How Fidelity Gold Refinery Facilitates Gold Sales from Artisanal Miners Fidelity Gold Refinery (FGR), Zimbabwe's sole authorized gold buyer, refiner, and exporter, has implemented a multi-faceted strategy to streamline and formalize gold sales from the crucial artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sector. These initiatives aim to enhance accessibility, efficiency, and transparency for these miners, ultimately boosting national gold output. A cornerstone of FGR's approach is bringing its services closer to the miners. This is achieved through an expanding network of licensed gold buying agents . These agents are strategically appointed to operate in remote and outlying areas, significantly reducing the distances artisanal miners need to travel to sell their gold, thereby improving convenience and security. Further enhancing accessibility and operational efficiency, FGR is active...

Zimbabwe's Gold Market Where do miners sell their Gold? Harare, Zimbabwe – For gold miners across Zimbabwe, from large-scale operations to artisanal individuals, the primary and official destination for their precious metal is Fidelity Gold Refinery (FGR). As an entity of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, FGR holds the exclusive mandate to purchase, refine, and export gold on behalf of the government, playing a pivotal role in the nation's gold sector.
