namely, an expansive craton, widespread greenstone belts (also known as gold belts), the famous Great Dyke, Precambrian and Karoo basins and metamorphic belts. As a result of its good geology, the country has huge mineral potential characterized by about 60 economic minerals whose commercial profitability has been proven. The Great Dyke is a layered igneous complex extending north-south for about 550 km. The Great Dyke plays host to the world\u2019s largest high grade chromite resource base. Zimbabwe has the world\u2019s second largest resource of platinum group of metals as well as significant reserves of copper and nickel. With rock ages spanning a period of more than 3 billion years, Zimbabwe\u2019s heterogeneous geological environment is favorable to occurrences of a variety of minerals and ore bodies.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48yj810 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\"
