The mine currently employs 800 employees with more staff to be employed as production rises.

Shamva Gold Mine reopened after Landela Mining Venture acquired and injected fresh capital into the business, previously owned by Metallon Corporation.

Metallon suspended operations at three of its mines including Shamva and Mazowe last year due to mounting debts estimated at US$200 million.
