Revelations that US$500 million worth of gold is being smuggled every month have raised the need for Government to speed up the formalisation of unregistered small-scale mining operations.

According to the Zimbabwe Artisanal and Small Scale Mining Council, more than 1,5 million unregistered small-scale players are operating in different parts of the country.
