Zimbabwe will next week host the Zimbabwe Gold Investment Conference 2025 a high-level gathering designed to draw global investors, financiers and policymakers to unlock the country’s largely untapped gold reserves. Scheduled for 17–18 November at the Golden Conifer Conference Centre in Harare, the summit comes at a pivotal moment for the nation’s mining sector. Organisers say the event aims to connect Zimbabwe’s world-class gold deposits with the long-term capital needed to drive exploration, production and sector-wide growth.
Government officials, institutional investors and leading mining executives are set to attend signalling a renewed push to secure meaningful foreign direct investment. Among the headline speakers is Algy Cluff, Executive Chairman of Cluff Africa who is expected to reflect on the lessons of past mining cycles and the opportunities now emerging in Zimbabwe. A major focus of the two-day programme is the increasing importance of international capital markets in funding new mines.
Panels will examine potential avenues to expand credit lines through lenders such as Afreximbank and the TDB Group while also assessing how platforms like the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) and London’s AIM market could help Zimbabwean miners raise capital and improve investment visibility. Geological experts are due to present updated assessments showing that vast tracts of Zimbabwe remain underexplored, offering significant advantages for early-stage exploration companies. Speaking on behalf of Opus Investor, Laura Persse highlighted the expected outcomes of the event.
