Gold is the second single largest mineral export earner after platinum in the Southern African nation.
Toendepi Muganyi, president of the Chamber of Mines, which represents major mining companies, said gold production would increase to 18.4 tonnes this year from 15.3 tonnes last year. The figure would be the highest since 2004 when Zimbabwe produced 21.3 tonnes.
