Chrome mining- Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe possesses the world’s second-largest chromium reserves, with significant deposits along The Great Dyke, a geological formation estimated to be 2.5 billion years old.

GCI operates two fully mechanized open-cast chrome mines in Lalapansi and Sebakwe, producing high-grade 42–46% Cr₂O₃ chrome ore.

In addition, GCI runs two chrome wash plants in Zimbabwe that process raw ore into high-purity chrome concentrate, available in the following grades:

• 46–48% Cr₂O₃ Concentrate

• 48–50% Cr₂O₃ Concentrate

These wash plants enable value addition and quality enhancement, ensuring consistency in particle size, moisture levels, and chemical composition.
Our mining and processing operations follow environmentally responsible open-pit methods, focusing on efficiency, worker safety, and sustainability.
