Zimbabwe miners end Ball Mine conflict with Chinese partner

Illegal mining chaos at Ball Mine finally gets crushed by a fresh Chinese-Zimbabwean joint venture.

Zimbabwe Miners Federation partnership

• ZMF via FS Mining teams up with Anhua Chenxi Mining to launch RR Mining.
• Five years of criminal takeovers and dodgy ops at Ball Mine end now.
• Formal setup targets orderly mining, proper processing, and sales.

Registration and oversight details

• Four hundred artisanal miners have already signed up, with one thousand as the goal.
• Chief Chipfungwe's traditional leaders guard the official register.
• Register data also goes straight to the Zimbabwe Republic Police for tight security.

Production control measures

• All ore gets sold only to RR Mining, so gold stays fully tracked.
• Fidelity Gold Refinery office, plus a police post, will sit right on site.
• Previous daily output hit three kilograms, yet the license holder saw nothing.

Equipment rollout schedule

• First gear shipment lands on March fifteen with twenty small crushers included.
• Trial runs run March twenty through twenty-six before full blast.
• An extra one hundred crushers and several round mills arrive later from China.

Community and government angle

• Borehole already been dug at Mungari Primary School for local access.
• Women gain spots in food supply chains and consumables mining.
• National goal pushes past fifty tonnes of gold this year.
