MZM Africa attended the Mining & Construction Vietnam Expo held in Hanoi in April 2026, marking the firm's formal commercial debut in the Southeast Asian investor and OEM market.
A Strategic Debut
The expo provided MZM's Hanoi-based team with direct access to Vietnamese and regional OEM equipment manufacturers, project financiers, and commodity traders — all gathered under one roof.
Operating under what the team calls a "Two-Hat Strategy," MZM engaged with the market as both potential equipment buyers (facilitating procurement intelligence for Zimbabwe-based operations) and as selective capital-raising operators for qualifying investors.
Chrome & Gold Opportunities Presented
MZM presented two primary investment opportunities to qualified prospects at the event:
Chrome Wash Plant Model — A 50 TPH alluvial chrome wash plant on Zimbabwe's Great Dyke corridor, requiring $310,000–$410,000 in capital with an estimated 2.6-month payback at full utilisation. The opportunity is underpinned by Zimbabwe's February 2026 blanket raw mineral export ban, which has created urgent demand for domestic beneficiation infrastructure.
Gold Cluster Model — A hub-and-spoke gold processing model targeting ASM producers across Zimbabwe's greenstone belts, using gravity separation and VAT leach processing routed through Zimbabwe's Fidelity Gold Refinery.
What's Next
MZM is currently in follow-up dialogue with several qualified prospects introduced at the expo. Investors interested in either opportunity are encouraged to reach out via our contact page.
