Today, I had the privilege of witnessing the signing of a landmark 25-year Special Mining Lease Agreement between the Government of Zimbabwe and Karo Platinum (part of Tharisa Plc). This major milestone secures long-term tenure over a 23,903-hectare mining area on our mineral-rich Great Dyke.This project is a direct outcome of the vision we launched in 2018. With over US$240 million already invested in plant establishment, mining fleets, water and power infrastructure, and community development, Phase 1 alone is set to create up to 1,000 jobs for our people. This fully compliant agreement—signed on behalf of the Government by Mines and Mining Development Minister Eng. Polite Kambamura and Finance Minister Prof. Mthuli Ncube—underscores our commitment to transparency, legal certainty, and investor security.We are unlocking our nation's vast mineral wealth to drive sustainable industrial growth, create decent employment, and uplift communities. Together, we build Zimbabwe!(President of Zimbabwe)
