Zimbabwe Integrated Chrome Project
Chrome Ecosystem & Business Map Evidence-controlled screening of ore districts, operating and restart-stage smelters, wash plants, power, reductants, logistics and investment corridors.
Map Layers
Classic Road-focused OpenStreetMap view. Hybrid Satellite imagery with transport labels. Terrain Hybrid Terrain context for Great Dyke and haul-road screening.
Geology & Ore Supply
Zoomable Bedrock Geology Macrostrat map tiles; use as regional context only. Great Dyke Chrome Corridor Interpretive envelope of the principal stratiform chromite belt. Mining Districts Eleven documented district-level ore-supply areas. Producer-Linked Mine Areas Zimasco-linked and other verified district-level mining platforms. The Claims Registered mining claims — North Dyke (SG7443, SG7442, SG7439/40/41) and Chirumhanzu (Denver 5B, Denver 4B, Temple Cloud 324, Temple Cloud 325).
Processing & Industry
Wash / Concentration Plants Verified plant plus documented beneficiation clusters and screening hubs. Major Ferrochrome Smelters Zimasco, Afrochine, Jinan-Almid/Jin An and ZimAlloys. Smelter Watchlist Maranatha and other locations requiring current operating verification. Priority Investment Corridors Ranked mine, concentration, tolling and brownfield corridors.
Infrastructure & Trade
Strategic Highways Principal trunk-road corridors used for mine-to-plant movement. Mine-to-Smelter Routes Indicative internal ore and concentrate haulage links. Rail & Export Corridors Maputo, Beira and South Africa route concepts. Industrial / Logistics Hubs Key cities, borders and ports. Power & Grid Screening Generation and industrial load nodes relevant to concentration and SAF smelting. Coal / Reductant Supply Hwange and downstream reductant logistics. Regulators & Market Gateways Ministry, MMCZ, ZIMRA and export-control interfaces. Map Legend
Ranked Business Models
Mine + concentrator + toll smelting 8.8/10
Brownfield smelter JV / acquisition 8.0/10
Mine + wash / concentration 7.0/10
Long-term ore supply to producer 6.8/10
Integrated greenfield smelter 6.2/10
Recommended entry: secure one anchor mine plus backup suppliers, prove a 50 TPH modular concentrator, execute paid toll-smelting campaigns, then evaluate brownfield participation. Do not base the project on raw-ore or unrestricted concentrate export.

Research-backed screening map, August 2026. Coordinates, corridor envelopes and some routes are indicative. Mine titles, plant ownership, live furnace status, available toll capacity, output, product specification, power, water and logistics must be confirmed with operators and regulators before investment.
