India’s Lohum Begins Zimbabwe Lithium Operations, Announces First Ore Dispatch.
India’s Lohum has begun lithium operations in Matabeleland South and says it has initiated its first ore dispatch from Zimbabwe.
The company holds rights to 10 spodumene-bearing blocks covering about 1,100 hectares, estimated to contain 30–40 million tonnes of ore grading 1–3% Li₂O. The assets could support around 300,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) over their lifetime.
Lohum also has an option over up to 90 additional mining blocks and says it intends to develop local processing capacity rather than export unprocessed ore.
A strong first half of the year for Padenga Holdings, with high gold prices driving a sharp rise in profits.
Dallaglio, which runs Pickstone and Eureka gold mines, makes up 97% of Padenga’s revenue. In the 6 months to June, Dallaglio produced 1,345kg of gold. That was just 4% higher than the same time last year, but Padenga benefited from firm gold prices.
· Revenue up 44% to US$187.7 million
· Earnings (EBITDA) up 110% to US$100.8M
· Pre-tax profit up 161% to US$107.3 million
Dallaglio is expanding both mines. The company recently commissioned two new solar plants, 5.4MW at Eureka and 4.9MW at Pickstone, adding to its power capacity as production expands.

Are some foreign investors still overstating the risks of investing in Zimbabwe?
Two investors that have recently raised capital for large-scale mining projects here think so.
At an investor presentation in New York this week, Caledonia Mining’s VP for Corporate Development Maurice Mason says: “This (risk perception in Zim) is one we think has been overdone and mispriced”.
Earlier this year, Caledonia raised $150m through a bond for its Bilboes project, attracting more than $600m in bids, including strong demand from US institutional investors.
Tharisa is making a similar case.

Our Founder, Mr. Burkhard Wilken, has taught us about the importance of giving.
And no, giving does not just mean splashing tax free donations at your favourite charity.
Giving is about BUILDING. Taking the time and effort to make a difference. Humanity above all.

🎥 “Not what I expected. There’s a mile-wide perception gap between what people think of Zimbabwe, and what it’s really like….”
Matt Carroll, the new Senior Economics Officer at the US Embassy, made the remarks at @zidainvest’s investor feedback forum on Wednesday.
How to fix it?
Create the conditions that allow local businesses to thrive, showing the country’s potential to foreign investors.

Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Ethiopia's export exploding from $3 billion to $10 billion thanks to Ethiopia Tamirt.
In 2025, Ethiopia launched "Ethiopia Tamirt" initiative (Made in Ethiopia) which was meant to drive production and consumption of Ethiopian made products.
The initiative saw over 750 industries entering into manufacturing and attracted massive support from Ethiopians.
From the initiative, Ethiopia has saved $4.85 billion in imports and manufacturing sector has grown jumped from 4.8% to 13% in nine months.
Meanwhile the drive has also improved Ethiopian exports from $3 billion in 2025 to $10 billion expected by the end of 2026.
