Zim Win Mining Pvt Ltd owner Mr Su L says he is proud of the decision to invest in Zimbabwe.

The Chinese investor said the current economic environment resembles that of the People’s Republic of China in the 90s.

"I visited the Zimbabwean Embassy in Beijing and the Deputy Ambassador introduced the investment opportunities in Zimbabwe and I was too much interested. I came here to have a look," Cde Sun said.

"During my visit here, I visited the President at State House and he introduced the 2030 vision. I thought it was very good because I grew up in the 1970s and in the 90s the environment is similar to here. That's why I decided to stay here and invest. I am proud of my decision. It is a very nice country for investment."

Zim Win started preparations in February 2024 and this has witnessed the putting up of a massive Carbon In Pulp CIP gold mining system. 

Explaining how the company will run, the Mine Manager Cde Shaun Murambidzi said the preparations are 95 percent complete.

"We have been preparing the plant area since February 2024.  A lot of construction work has been happening to put in place the necessary tools for production. We have used both local resources and other to have the weigh bridge, the grizzle, primary and secondary jaw crushers, the conveyor belts, elusion tanks, control room and the milling plant amongst others. Once fully operational, we are aiming at producing 20kg every month."

Cde Murambidzi added that a training exercise will see the employees able to have skills transferred to them with this new technology.

A three-eight hour shift is expected to be conducted at the mine. 200 local employees will work at the mine.

Zim Win Mining Pvt Ltd is found in Ward 5, Tsungira Village in Mutawatawa.
