Acquiring Mining Rights in Zimbabwe.
A detailed walkthrough on how to get a mining claim in Zimbabwe.
Three (3) stages of acquiring a mining claim:
1) Prospecting 
A prospecting licence is required at this stage and it is acquired at the Ministry of Mines and Mining Development offices. You need a national ID or company documents and pay a gazetted fee. 
The prospecting licence is valid for two (2) years. 
As a holder of a Prospecting licence you automatically acquire the rights of prospecting and pegging mining claims anywhere in Zimbabwe. 
2) Pegging 
* When a Prospecting Licence holder has identified a mineral deposit that he/she is interested in, he/she appoints an agent or an Approved Prospector to peg on his/her behalf. 
* The agent is required to physically peg the area by marking the deposit with a Discovery peg. He/She post Prospecting, Discovery and Registration Notices on the ground. The notices must be posted in a conspicuous manner to Alert other prospectors. 
* Each Prospecting Licence can peg up to a maximum of 10 claims at 1Ha each for precious metals. 
3) Registration 
* An application for registration must be submitted to the Provincial Mining Director. The application must have copies of the following attachments: 
a) Prospecting licences; 
b) Prospecting Notice; 
c) Discovery Notice (Base Minerals); 
d) Notification of intention to prospect to the landowner; 
e) A map in triplicate to the scale of 1:25000.
* If the Provincial Mining Director is satisfied that all pegging procedures have been followed he shall issue a certificate of registration upon payment of a gazetted fee. This allows the holder to start mining operations subject to meeting other obligations like Environment Impact Assessment (EIA)
