The paper starts by providing a brief historical overview of gold mining in Zimbabwe before exploring the dramatic increase in Artisanal and Smallscale Gold Mining (ASGM) within the context of
establishment of the Zimbabwe Geological Survey was characterized by distinct phases of prospecting interest. There was a peak activity in the 1960s to early 1970s reflecting a world trend in increased exploration, notably for base metals. The years 196875 constituted the nickel boom with Ni/Cu by far the most popular target over that period in
structures acted as depositional sites for the gold deposits. The known gold deposits show spatial association with the geological features. Quantitative analysis of the spatial associations between the gold deposits and the different geological features was carried out. A total of 201 gold deposits occur in the study area.
Zimbabwe on a World Wall Map: Zimbabwe is one of nearly 200 countries illustrated on our Blue Ocean Laminated Map of the World. This map shows a combination of political and physical features. It includes country boundaries, major cities, major mountains in shaded relief, ocean depth in blue color gradient, along with many other features.
Gold prospecting and identifying goldbearing areas have become increasingly more feasible, due to research developments on the geological process of gold formation. (See References 1.) Gold bearing areas, mostly throughout the western United States, have drawn and sprouted entire communities based on prospecting.
Gold deposits map of Zimbabwe 1988 There are over 4 000 recorded gold deposits, nearly all of them located on ancient workings. The country remains underexplored to discover new deposits as well as realising the full potential of known deposits.

Apr 11, 2007#0183;#32;Zimbabwes gold mining history in modern times goes back to the late 1800s when a wave of prospecting discoveries found gold in almost every corner of Zimbabwes ancient greenstone terrain. By the early 1900s some 6 000 occurrences had recorded production although only 290 of these would develop into mines with a production in excess of 10

The geologic concepts and indications that are the most important for finding gold vary from location to location. There is no one indicator of gold that always works. What works well in one district may not always work so well in another. In one place a certain type of rock may host all the deposits.

The Connemara Gold Prospect is near Kwekwe, Zimbabwe. Preliminary development has taken place such as surface trenching, adits, shafts, drill holes, geophysics, geochemistry, or geological mapping. Enough data has been gathered to estimate grade and tonnage.
Zimbabwe has a huge and highly diversified mineral resource base dominated by two prominent geological features namely the famous Great Dyke and the ancient Greenstone Belts, also known as Gold Great Dyke is a layered igneous complex extending northsouth for about 550 km. The Great Dyke plays host to the worlds largest high grade chromite resource base.

The first general geological map of the country at a scale of 1:1 000 000 was published in 1921 due to synthesis of geological information gathered from mapping. As more information became available, revised editions were respectively published in1928, 1936, 1946, 1961, 1971 and 1977. Gold mining and exploration in Zimbabwe has been going

The government of Zimbabwe recently projected the USD12 billion mining industry by 2023 and serious steps need to be taken in repairing some of the urgent tasks. Digitalisation of mining titles, geological maps, registration online and uploading mining geologicals online needs urgent attention to ensure smooth flowing of the critical sector.
A few gold deposits are hosted in shear zones that are oblique to the regional deformation and cut across different lithologies. All the Archean rock types within this greenstone belt are known to host gold mineralisation. More than 50% of the known gold occurrences are in
Economic geology. Zimbabwe''s mineral resources include, amongst others, coal, chromium ore, nickel, copper, iron ore, vanadium, tin, platinum group metals (such as palladium) and it is a significant producer of lithium, chrysotile asbestos and vermiculite. Gold, platinum group metals and chromium are Zimbabwe''s key mineral resources.. The Great Dyke provides most of Zimbabwe
Feb 14, 2008#0183;#32;Zimbabwe is perhaps the only country whose colonisation by Europeans was a direct result of its perceived rich and wide variety of gold deposits. The Portuguese occupied parts of the country in the 17th century and traded in gold with local miners. Following the accounts of the Portuguese, and information gathered by 19th century explorers and hunters, a lot of interest on Zimbabwes gold
