Small-scale and artisanal miners produced two tonnes more gold compared to large mines in the first quarter of the years. The small-scale miners produced 6,169.29kg of golf compared to 4,027.85 kg produced by the large firms.
Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF) spokesperson, Dosman Mangisi said,
Small-scale miners are increasing output on a month to month basis due to a number of factors. Firstly small-scale gold producers now shun the taking of ores to customer Miller’s preferring to do for themselves what we call onsite milling which has more beneficiation, the high appetite of using hammer Mills by the miners which are affordable.
