Zimbabwe Parliament Speaker Calls for Consistent Diamond Mining Policy
TodayNews The Speaker of the Zimbabwe Parliament called for a coherent diamond policy in the country in order to attract investment and protect the property rights of investors.
New Zimbabwe quotes Parliament Speaker Jacob Mudenda as saying that in 2015 the government made a political shift towards consolidating all diamond production in Marange under the control of Zimbabwe's state-owned Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Company (ZCDC).
“2018 saw another policy shift and the Marange diamond fields were open to all investors,” the parliamentarian said, noting that “… it is imperative that our diamond mining policy remains consistent to attract much-needed investment.”
Last year, Zimbabwe's authorities allowed the return of an unlisted Chinese company, Anjin, to Marange.
Anjin mined diamonds in Zimbabwe until early 2016, when the government of former President Robert Mugabe decided not to renew mining licenses to mining companies operating in Marange, leading to the formation of ZCDC.
Russian ALROSA has set up a joint venture with ZCDC - ALROSA Zimbabwe - which has recently begun prospecting for primary diamond deposits and preliminary exploration work in Masvingo, South Matabeleland and North Matabeleland provinces.
The ZCDC is also expected to establish a joint venture with Vast Resources for the exploration and production of diamonds in Marange. Vast has already formed Katanga Mining with the Chiadzwa community.
