Zimbabwe Designates 14 Minerals Including Lithium and Nickel as Critical, Mandates State Equity Stake

GateNews
Zimbabwe's government recently issued a mineral classification policy designating 14 mineral products, including lithium, nickel, cobalt, and graphite, as critical minerals subject to equity control and export restrictions. The policy establishes a mandatory minimum state equity stake requirement through designated special purpose vehicles (SPVs). The framework prohibits raw mineral exports and mandates foreign investors to establish refineries, with the state acquiring equity stakes in these operations to control global critical mineral supply chains.
