Mining & Resources
Powering the mines. Moving the minerals.
Zimbabwe sits on one of the richest mineral endowments in Africa — the Great Dyke’s platinum and chrome, the gold belts, Hwange coal, and the new lithium boom. Wyvern runs both directions on the same corridor under one coordinated plan: minerals out, equipment and consumables in.
Platinum Group Metals — Great Dyke to port.
Zimplats, Unki and Mimosa on the Great Dyke produce PGM concentrate and matte. The high-value output moves to South African smelters and Richards Bay for export, while the mines draw a steady inbound flow of machinery and reagents.

Gold — under RBZ control.
From large operations like Caledonia’s Blanket Mine to hundreds of small producers. Bullion moves under strict Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe control to Fidelity Printers in Harare, while gold processing draws cyanide and reagents inbound.
Gold requires RBZ authorisation, armoured vehicle and armed escort — moving gold without RBZ clearance risks seizure and prosecution
Bullion movement — secured
