Zimbabwe is targeting to earn upwards of $2 billion in mineral exports excluding gold in 2018, up from the $1,6 billion realised last year, the Minerals Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe (MMCZ) has said.

This amounts to around 6 percent in growth from $1, 67 billion realised in 2017 and is in line with the mining industry's projected growth rates in the 2018 National Budget, MMCZ acting general manager Masimba Chandavengerwa said in a presentation yesterday.

Chrome ore racked in $99 754 000 in 2017, while coal and diamonds fetched $2 211 000 and $84 160 000 respectively.

PGMS concentrates accounted for $457 031 000 and PGM matte $499 240 000 in the year under review.
