Integrated Gold Extraction Solutions for Zimbabwe's Greenstone Belts

Zimbabwe holds a rich mining legacy, with vast gold deposits concentrated across the prolific Greenstone Belts and the Great Dyke region. Operating processing plants across major hubs such as Gwanda, Kadoma, and Kwekwe requires high-purity metallurgical reagents that deliver consistent recovery rates from both oxidized and complex sulfide ore bodies.

United Chemical is a trusted international supply partner for Zimbabwean gold producers. We supply an integrated portfolio of world-class leaching reagents and activated Carbon, offered with flexible global trade terms ( FOB China ports and CIF regional ocean ports ) to ensure seamless, compliant international delivery.

Our Flagship Reagents for Zimbabwean Gold Circuits

1. AuCyan™ NaCN Sodium Cyanide ≥ 98.3%

Engineered for continuous CIL (Carbon-in-Leach) and CIP (Carbon-in-Pulp) operations demanding uncompromising consistency, AuCyan™ NaCN Sodium Cyanide ≥ 98.3% delivers high purity with minimal insoluble impurities. It guarantees fast, predictable leaching kinetics, allowing plant metallurgists in Zimbabwe to optimize reagent consumption and maintain steady gold recovery even when handling variable ore grades.

2. AuCarb™ Gold Recovery Coconut Shell Activated Carbon

In high-agitation CIL/CIP tanks, mechanical shear forces can break low-grade carbon, resulting in severe gold loss to tailings. AuCarb™ Gold Recovery Coconut Shell Activated Carbon is manufactured to prevent this, featuring an independently verified ball-pan hardness of ≥ 99% . Its superior attrition resistance ensures that adsorbed gold stays safely locked within carbon pores through multiple adsorption and elution cycles.

3. AuLeach™ Eco-Friendly Gold Leaching Agent (GDA)

As African mining regulations move toward stricter environmental governance, AuLeach™ Eco-Friendly Gold Leaching Agent (GDA) offers a sustainable alternative. A non-hazardous drop-in replacement for conventional cyanide, AuLeach™ delivers equal or faster leaching kinetics while completely eliminating cyanide toxicity from tailings, simplifying environmental audits and local transport compliance.

Flexible Global Shipping & Trade Terms (FOB & CIF)

To accommodate the international procurement policies of Zimbabwean mining companies and local logistics arrangements, United Chemical provides flexible, standardized Incoterms:

• FOB (Free On Board - Main China Ports): We handle all domestic logistics, export clearance, Dangerous  Goods (DG) inspection, and loading onto designated container vessels at      major Chinese ports (eg, Shanghai, Ningbo, QinGDAo).

• CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight - Regional Gateway Ports): We manage ocean shipping and transit insurance directly to  primary gateway sea ports serving Zimbabwe, including the Port of Beira (Mozambique) and the Port of Durban (South Africa) .

• Compliant Marine Packaging: AuCyan™ NaCN Sodium Cyanide ≥ 98.3% is shipped in strict compliance with IMDG (International Maritime Dangerous Goods) codes using UN-certified steel drums or      heavy-duty wooden boxes inside sealed containers. Non-hazardous AuCarb™ and AuLeach™ are dispatched in bulk heavy-duty moisture-proof bags.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What trade terms (Incoterms) does United Chemical offer for shipments bound for Zimbabwe?

We provide flexible FOB (Free On Board) terms from major Chinese ports and CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) terms to regional ocean ports serving Zimbabwe, such as the Port of Beira (Mozambique) or Port of Durban (South Africa) . This allows buyers to coordinate local inland transport from the port to their mine site according to their preference.

Q2: Why is an Activated Carbon hardness of ≥ 99% critical for Zimbabwean CIL plants?

In high-agitation tanks processing abrasive ores from the Greenstone Belts, soft carbon degrades into fine particles that carry adsorbed gold straight into the tailings. AuCarb™ Gold Recovery Coconut Shell Activated Carbon provides a tested hardness of ≥ 99% , offering maximum mechanical resistance to prevent carbon breakdown and protect your gold yield.

Q3: How is AuCyan™ NaCN Sodium Cyanide ≥ 98.3% packaged for ocean freight safety?

For ocean export under IMDG regulations, AuCyan™ NaCN Sodium Cyanide ≥ 98.3% is packed in UN-approved hermetically sealed steel drums or heavy-duty wooden boxes with inner polyethylene bags. Each shipment includes full MSDS, Certificate of Analysis (COA), and dangerous goods documentation required for international marine transit and port customs clearance.
