Gold buyers association hailed
Herald Reporter
MINES and Mining Development Minister Winston Chitando has hailed the formation of the National Gold Buyers Association (NGBA) saying it is key in achieving the 100-tonne target of the yellow metal by 2023.
Small-scale miners are expected to continue playing a significant role in shoring up national reserves through Fidelity Printers and Refiners.
The newly-formed organisation pledged to protect the country’s interests in the trading and beneficiation of gold.
“I am pleased that (the NGBA) has braced itself for this noble cause because leakages are threatening gold deliveries, so I welcome this as a big achievement,” Minister Chitando said on Thursday.
