Young miners secure 300ha of land for chrome washing

YOUNG Miners Foundation (YMF) has secured 300 hectares of chrome rich land to wash the mineral in Mvurwi in a structured, formalised and professional youth-led chrome processing initiative, NewsDay Business can reveal.

The project, in partnership with the Zimbabwe Artisanal Miners Association (Zama), aims to create employment opportunities for at least 500 people and stimulate economic growth in the region.

Chrome washing is the process in mining the mineral that separates chrome ore from other materials to improve its quality and grade.
