About
About Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is one of Africa’s most established mining nations, with a long history of gold production and a highly skilled mining workforce. The country hosts significant mineral resources, including gold, platinum group metals, lithium, chrome and nickel, and mining remains a key contributor to national economic development.
Caledonia has operated in Zimbabwe for more than a decade and continues to invest in the country’s mining sector through producing operations, exploration activities and growth projects.
Why Zimbabwe?
World-Class Mineral Potential
Zimbabwe is highly prospective for gold and other minerals, with extensive greenstone belts and significant opportunities for both mine development and exploration. The country remains underexplored relative to many established mining jurisdictions, creating opportunities for resource growth and new discoveries.
Skilled Workforce
Zimbabwe has a long mining tradition and a strong technical skills base. Caledonia benefits from a talented workforce comprising mining, engineering, geological and processing professionals whose expertise supports safe and efficient operations.
Established Infrastructure
Mining operations are supported by road networks, telecommunications infrastructure, access to regional suppliers and established mining service providers. Caledonia has continued to invest in operational infrastructure to support reliable production and future growth.
Caledonia’s Presence in Zimbabwe
Caledonia’s Zimbabwean portfolio includes:
- Blanket Mine, one of the country’s leading gold mines and Caledonia’s flagship operating asset.
