According to Mines and Mining Development Minister Honourable Winston Chitando, a taskforce has been set up to identify how the sector can recover after the lockdown.
\n\u201cWe are looking at the 21-day lockdown, so in theory we are looking at a 1\/4 of a month.We would like to come up with programmes on how we can recover. And also some operations like smelters have continued running as you can\u2019t just shut down operations,\u201d said Hon Winston Chitando- mines and mining development minister
\nAs the sector works on ways to boost production, Minister Chitando says they now targeting to at least surpass the 3,2 billion dollar mark achieved in 2019 .<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a minimum we are expecting the 3,2 billion which we earned last year. Ideally we don\u2019t want to lose the target which we had set ourselves.<\/p>\n

The minister added that they have a number of initiatives on mining of gemstones which will be launched at the end of May and expectation is that these will go a long way in ensuring the sector gets closer to achieving its targets.
\nMinister Chitando is also on record stating that government is set to repossess mining claims that are being held for speculative purposes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
