Zimbabwe,
a landlocked nation in Southern Africa, was historically one of Africa's strongest economies, anchored in mining,
agronomy and tourism. Emerging from
recent political and economic turmoil, Zimbabwe is poised to rebuild on
its historic strengths.
The country, which has a population of 12 million,
benefits from a climate ideal for
growing maize, cotton, tobacco, wheat, coffee, sugarcane, peanuts. Zimbabwe has a long history in
mining and local expertise remains first rate.
Gold, platinum, coal, ferrochrome, copper, nickel, diamonds and tin are
all found in the Archean Zimbabwe Craton.
Similar Archean Cratons exist in other major mineral producing nations
such as Australia, Canada and Tanzania.
Now that Zimbabwe has adopted the SA Rand
and US Dollar as official currencies, hyper inflation is under control and
small business is beginning to flourish. Although Zimbabwe's infrastructure has
suffered over the past 10 years, there exists a strong base which is already
benefitting from continuous upgrading.
Geological
potential, along with recent legislative changes that allow gold producer to
sell their production on the open market, make Zimbabwe one of the great gold
exploration and production opportunities in the world today.
