Dewatering of the King Mine shafts was completed in March 2020, enabling further expansion of asbestos extraction operations.
At the former King Mine in Mashava, Zimbabwe, asbestos production from old tailings commenced in 2019, reactivating a previously dormant mine.
A company at the former Mashaba Mine in Zimbabwe began dewatering shafts and procuring equipment to restart underground asbestos production from tailings.
Zimbabwe secured a $100 million loan in September 2017 to reopen the Mashava and Shabanie asbestos mines by year-end, reviving domestic production.
