Zimbabwe is the only country to exploit both stratiform and podiform deposits ( Fig. 11.2 ). Mining of chromite is carried out by open-pit and underground mining. Whereas open-pit mining is generally applied to podiform deposits, underground mining is applied to stratiform deposits.

Zimbabwe has a huge and highly diversified mineral resource base dominated by two prominent geological features namely the famous Great Dyke and the ancient Greenstone Belts, also known as Gold Belts.The Great Dyke is a layered igneous complex extending north-south for about 550 km. The Great Dyke plays host to the world’s largest high grade chromite resource base.

Chromium. Chromium (Cr) is a hard, bluish metallic element. The only ore of chromium is the mineral chromite and 99 percent of the world’s chromite is found in southern Africa and Zimbabwe. Geologists estimate that there are about 11 billion tons of mineable chromite ore in the world, enough to supply the current demand for hundreds of years.

Chromite, and by extension chromium, is mined by both large mining companies and small-scale miners in Zimbabwe. Processed chromium has a value of approximately 100 times more than newly-mined chromium. This means that many of the small-scale miners have to excavate large quantities of the product to make a living from chromium mining.

Chromite, the principle ore of the element chromium, is a commercially valuable mineral. However, due to mining restrictions and the fact that Chromite is not commonly found in crystallized form, it is not well-represented in mineral collections. Chromite is isomorphous with the mineral Magnesiochromite and is easily confused with it, as they ...
