Circulating mining fees hike document not official – ZMF
The Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF) has described a Circulating document in regards to increase in mining fees by over 400 percent for any payment made to the Ministry of Mines and Mining Development for mining processes as unofficial.
According to ZMF Media department the document titled “Mining General Amendment Regulations….2024” which is on mining fees review is not an official document from the Mines Ministry as no such document has been gazetted.
The ZMF Media department also encouraged miners to pay for their different mining licences ahead of imminent mining fees review.
“It has come to our attention that there is a document which is in circulation on social media platforms on: “Mining (General (Amendment) Regulations, ……..2024” which is on mining fees review.
“Kindly disregard the document as it is not an official document from Mines Ministry and has not yet been gazetted.
“We however encourage you to pay for the different mining licenses ahead of the imminent mining fees review,” ZMF media department said.
Mining fees in Zimbabwe are set to be reviewed however the document which has a strong resemblence to other government issued SI statements has not been published in the government gazette.
