According to AMMZ President Abel Makura, the visit facilitated crucial relationship-building and knowledge exchange.
Makura noted that although the visit had to be conducted with a small group due to the host’s restrictions, the participants gained valuable insights.
“We are very happy that, for the first time, AMMZ has been able to engage with Chinese-owned operations, and they have welcomed us warmly. This is a positive development as it allows us to build bridges and collaborate more effectively, sharing knowledge about the mining environment in our country. It has been a positive experience, even though we had to visit as a small group. The insights gained will be shared with the rest of our members,” said Eng. Makura.
He added that Prospect Lithium Zimbabwe has committed to participating in AMMZ activities, starting with this year’s annual general meeting and conference.
The tour, which covered the entire mining process from crushing to flotation, was deemed a success, with significant learnings reported.
“Prospect Lithium Zimbabwe’s team has pledged to be involved in all Chamber of Mines and AMMZ activities, beginning with this year’s annual general meeting and conference. We observed the entire mining operation and processing plant, and the tour provided numerous valuable insights,” Eng. Makura concluded.
