Key Highlights
While the mining industry is expected to contribute 17.8% towards the country's GDP by 2015, it accounted for US$445 million in taxes to the government in 2012 and formally employed 45,000 people while informally employing more than 500,000.
. Mineral exports contributed more than 50% of the country's total export earnings in 2013, while PGM metals and the diamond industry contributed 27.2% and 26.1% respectively towards total mineral exports in 2012.
Although the mining industry is increasingly becoming the backbone of growth, contributing more to GDP, the lack of transparency and accountability in the exploration and exploitation of mineral resources has become one of its key challenges.
Shortages of electricity as a result of Zimbabwe's power crisis are a major hindrance for the country's precious metals mining industry.
