About Us
RZM Murowa Mine is a 24-hour open pit mining operation. Production from Murowa began in 2004. In 2015 RioZim took over the management of Murowa at a time the company had stopped mining sighting viability issues.
RioZim led a strategic overhaul exercise for the Company which resulted in a radical change in its business by steering it to a new life of mine plan, new approach to mining and a massive brownfield expansion of the plant code named ‘Project Sunrise’. After having more than tripled its capacity in 2016, RZM Murowa today is a global top 10 diamond mine enabling it to become one of the biggest exporters and foreign currency generators for Zimbabwe.
