Meikles Centar Mining has cast acquisitive glances at Zimbabwe mining assets amid indications the company is planning to make a grand entrance onto the country's mining scene.

A well-placed source said Meikles Centar, a joint venture between Meikles Africa Ltd and Centar Asia Resources, was looking at acquiring gold and diamond mining assets in the country's mining sector and had toured various assets in the country with a view to acquiring them.

The sources added Meikles Centar is planning to make an ostentatious entry into the mining sector by acquiring strategic and existing gold and diamond assets.

Meikles Centar last year tried to obtain a diamond mining licence from government but it is not clear if it was approved.
