ZiMining is an independent mining and resources news platform focused on Zimbabwe, Africa and the global mining industry.
We report on mining not as an abstract sector, but as a central force shaping economies, communities, policy and the environment. Our work sits at the intersection of industry, public interest and accountability.
Founded with a narrow focus on mineral awareness, ZiMining has grown into a specialised newsroom covering the full mining value chain, from exploration and production to policy, finance, sustainability and innovation.

-
Mining companies and markets

Our reporting is grounded in facts, context and verification. We aim to explain what is happening in mining, why it matters, and who it affects.
Our Mission
ZiMining’s mission is to deliver accurate, independent and responsible journalism on mining and natural resources.
We aim to inform public debate, support transparency in the sector and provide readers with clear, contextual reporting that explains how mining decisions affect economies, communities and the environment.
