HARARE – PLATINUM production in Zimbabwe declined by 2% to 502 000 ounces in 2025 from an all-time high of 512 000 ounces in 2024, the latest World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC) report shows.
Output rose to 131 000 ounces in the fourth quarter of 2025 up from 119,000 ounces in Q3 2025.
“Higher output at Zimplats following its smelter expansion was offset by declines at Unki and Mimosa, as power disruptions and lower grades weighed on volumes,” WPIC said.
The country’s platinum production is expected to reach 518 000 ounces in 2026.
