Zimbabwe's gold deliveries for the month of May increased marginally by 4.6% from 1 081.93kg in April 2013 to 1 131.27 kilogrammes in May as output by small-scale miners registered a significant growth.

According to figures released by the African Development Bank, deliveries by small-scale producers went up 28.6% to 211.66kg in May from 164.55kg in April.

Production by small-scale miners has been declining in the past few months.

In April last year, production plummeted to two tonnes from 17 tonnes recorded nine years ago.
