Mining & Metals
Zimbabwe holds one of Africa’s most diverse mineral bases. Germany leads in engineering, processing,
and ESG‑aligned industrial systems. Zimgerm connects these strengths — structuring responsible extraction,
local value‑addition, and long‑term mineral partnerships that benefit both nations.
A Strategic Sector for Bilateral Growth
Mining underpins energy transition technologies, advanced manufacturing, and global industrial competitiveness.
Zimbabwe’s deposits in PGMs, lithium, chrome, nickel, gold, and rare earths position it as a critical supplier
in future mineral value chains. Germany brings precision engineering, processing technology, and compliance
frameworks that elevate these resources into globally competitive products.
Zimgerm bridges both markets — curating transparent, investor‑ready opportunities and structuring partnerships
that prioritise beneficiation, governance clarity, and long‑term economic impact.
Minerals
Zimbabwe’s mineral base spans several globally significant categories. These resources form the foundation
for long‑term industrial collaboration between Zimbabwe and Germany.
