Zimbabwe gold mines in trouble.
It has been reported that several gold mines in Zimbabwe face closure due to the small amount of foreign currency earnings they are allowed to retain. According to Chamber of Mines of Zimbabwe CEO, David Murangari, a number of gold mines are currently operating at a loss, and production of gold - the country's second highest foreign currency earner - has dropped six mt from 1999 to 2000. Gold producers are presently only being allowed to keep 20% of their foreign currency (earnings).
