Kamativi Mining Company has announced plans to exhume and rebury 14 graves located within its opencast pit area in Hwange East to enable the expansion of its mining operations.

In a public notice issued under the Cemeteries Act [Chapter 5:04], the company confirmed that relocating the graves is a necessary step to facilitate the development of its mining project.

"Notice is hereby given by Kamativi Mining Company, in accordance with the Cemeteries Act, Chapter 5:04, to relocate/rebury 14 graves in the opencast pit area at Kamativi Mine, located in the Hwange East constituency," the company stated.

"This action is necessary to facilitate the expansion of mining operations."

The company said it would engage closely with community leaders, affected families, traditional leaders, and relevant authorities to ensure the relocation is conducted with full cultural sensitivity and in compliance with legal requirements.

This planned expansion forms part of ongoing efforts to revitalise the historic Kamativi Mine, which is known for its rich deposits of lithium and other minerals.

With rising global demand for critical minerals, the mine has garnered significant interest from investors looking to capitalise on Zimbabwe's mineral wealth.
