Investing in Zimbabwe need not pose significant difficulties to mining companies, according to George Roach, ceo of Premier African Minerals.
Mining companies have generally remained cautious over entering the troubled African nation, but this need not necessarily be the case, Roach said. “We’re in Togo and Zimbabwe,” he told Metal Bulletin. Those countries have in common the fact that they have been deemed areas of high geopolitical risk in recent history. “They’re also both reasonably prospective. We don’t necessarily focus on one commodity – we focus on a reduced geological risk,” Roach added. In Zimbabwe in particular, where the company’s RHA tungsten project is located, the company has spent a significant amount of time working with the country’s government.
