THE government is establishing private sector-led chrome and coal processing facilities as part of the deliverables from the Mines ministry under the 100-day cycle programme.
Information minister Monica Mutsvangwa told the media after this week’s Cabinet meeting that the Mines ministry would promote sustainable exploration, mining, beneficiation, value addition, marketing and management of mineral resources.
“The deliverables of the ministry will encompass improving the country’s ease of doing business ranking as well as business earnings from beneficiated and value-added minerals,” Mutsvangwa said.
