ABSTRACT
The economy’s main sources of income have traditionally been agriculture and mining and with its recent independence as Zimbabwe it is expected that general expansion of both industries will be encouraged. Mining in the country was originally founded on gold. The mines lie in a zone between 150 and 200 miles wide that cuts across the centre of the country for about 400 miles in a north-easterly direction, which comprises quartz veins and shear zones in greenstone belts.
