What We Do
"From Beneath the Earth — To the World's Markets."
Dibwe Mining operates across three core mineral categories. We identify mineral-rich sites, secure legal access through licences and joint venture partnerships, deploy experienced teams, extract and process mineral resources, and distribute to verified buyers through confirmed offtake agreements.
We are not a prospecting company. We are an operations company. Every project we activate has confirmed mineral presence, a defined extraction model, and a documented pathway to market.
What We Mine
Gemstones
Zambia is among the world's top producers of high-value gemstones. Dibwe holds active access to aquamarine and amethyst deposits across Southern Province, in partnership with Kariba Minerals and Iceman Investment Ltd. Our gemstone operations target local and international buyers, including export to Asia and Europe.
- ◆ Aquamarine — Pemba, Southern Province (Chief Hamaundu). Low-grade and high-grade extraction.
- ◆ Amethyst — Kariba Minerals JV with Iceman Investment Ltd. 30 workers mobilised. Revenue share model per signed MOU.
Industrial Minerals
Industrial minerals are the backbone of construction, agriculture, and manufacturing. Dibwe's calcite operation in Mumbwa targets the fast-growing Zambian construction sector with a confirmed buyer pipeline.
- ◆ Calcite — Mumbwa, Central Province. Used in cement, paper, plastics, and agricultural lime — a high-demand, stable-margin commodity.
- ◆ Future pipeline: feldspar, talc, and barite exploration under assessment.
Precious & Base Metals
Gold and copper are Zambia's headline mining commodities. Dibwe is pursuing formalisation of its Kaoma copper and gold mine in Western Province and holds an active cross-border partnership at a Mozambique gold site, structured as a 50/50 JV.
- ◆ Kaoma Mine — Copper & Gold, Western Province. Small Mining Licence application in progress.
- ◆ Mozambique Gold Site — 50/50 JV. Active exploration. Gold offtake agreement confirmed with verified international buyer.
