The 2002-2007 global mining boom is expected to resume by the end of 2010 and Government has a window of opportunity to prepare a conducive policy environment, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has said.
"This could see Zimbabwe's mineral sector attracting between US$6 billion and US$16 billion in exploration and mine development investment during the 2011-2018 period," he said.
The Prime Minister was speaking during the Zimbabwe Chamber of Mines' 70th Annual General Meeting last week.
He lamented the low mining exploration activity in the country, saying that minerals were a depleting resource and there was need to continue exploration activities in order to identify new deposits.
