Cabinet has approved the implementation of the mining Cadastre Management Information System, a digital platform designed to modernise the administration of mining rights.
Speaking during Tuesday’s post-cabinet media briefing, Information minister Dr Zhemu Soda said the technology-driven system is expected to improve transparency, reduce disputes over overlapping mining claims, and speed up licence processing.
“It will enhance investor confidence, strengthening Zimbabwe’s competitiveness as a mining investment destination.
“To date, the Ministry of Mines and Mining Development has a repository of over 60 000 licences, spanning from Blocks of Claims, Special Grants, Mining Leases, Exclusive Prospecting Orders and Sites, among other permits.
“The computerised mining title platform will address technical challenges experienced, which include disputes from overlapping titles and processing delays.”
