Graphite Mining in Zimbabwe

Graphite is a naturally occurring mineral that is commonly found in Zimbabwe. The country has a significant amount of graphite deposits, with several mines and exploration projects located in different parts of the country.

The largest graphite mine in Zimbabwe is the Lynx Graphite Mine, located in Karoi in the northern part of the country. Other notable graphite mines in Zimbabwe include the Vubachikwe mine in Gwanda and the Sandawana mine in Masvingo.

Graphite mining in Zimbabwe is primarily done through the open-pit method, which involves stripping away the overlying soil and rock to access the graphite ore. The extracted graphite is then processed to remove impurities and create different grades of graphite products for different applications.
