Introduction

Mining fuels industrial development in Zimbabwe, and among the country’s diverse mineral wealth, limestone plays a vital role. From cement production to agriculture and manufacturing, limestone is indispensable to economic growth.

At the forefront of this sector is Pangeo Resources (Private) Limited, headquartered at 579 Granta Road, Vainona, Harare. With a 200-hectare limestone claim, Pangeo Resources is committed to efficient and sustainable limestone mining, delivering consistent supply while protecting the environment.

In this blog, we explore how Pangeo Resources extracts and processes limestone — and why partnering with us creates opportunities for growth and investment.

Step 1: Geological Surveys and Exploration

Every mining process begins with understanding the land. At Pangeo Resources, professional geological surveys are conducted to assess the limestone reserves and ensure their quality and consistency.

  • Surveys help confirm deposit depth, size, and purity.
  • During exploration, other minerals may be encountered, but the primary focus remains on limestone.
  • This stage ensures mining efficiency and long-term supply security for clients and partners.

Step 2: Extraction Process

Limestone at Pangeo Resources is extracted through open-pit mining, one of the most effective and widely used methods for this mineral.

  • Drilling and Blasting: The rock is loosened in a controlled and safe manner.
  • Excavation: Heavy equipment removes the loosened limestone.
  • Safety First: Workers and the surrounding communities are safeguarded through strict health and safety standards.
  • Environmental Care: Land disturbance is minimized, and progressive rehabilitation is carried out.

This careful approach ensures a steady supply of high-quality limestone while maintaining responsible mining practices.

Step 3: Crushing and Screening

After extraction, the limestone undergoes a crushing process to reduce large rocks into smaller, manageable sizes.

  • Crushing Machines: Break down the rock efficiently.
  • Screening Systems: Sort the limestone into various sizes based on industry requirements.
  • Product Variability: Fine limestone powder for agriculture, medium-sized aggregate for construction, and larger stones for cement production.

This ensures every market sector receives the exact product specifications they require.

Step 4: Processing and Applications

Once processed, limestone is distributed to various industries:

  • Cement Production: The largest consumer of limestone in Zimbabwe.
  • Agriculture: Used to neutralize acidic soils and improve yields.
  • Manufacturing: Plays a role in steelmaking, glass production, and paints.
  • Environmental Uses: Applied in water treatment and air purification processes.

Pangeo Resources ensures supply reliability across these diverse markets, strengthening its reputation as a dependable mining partner.

Sustainability in the Mining Process

Mining has significant environmental and social impacts, which Pangeo Resources addresses with sustainable practices:

  • Land Rehabilitation: Restoring mined areas for future use.
  • Dust and Water Management: Reducing emissions and preserving water quality.
  • Community Support: Creating jobs and contributing to local development.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Operating under Zimbabwe’s mining laws and best practices.

By embedding sustainability in operations, Pangeo ensures long-term growth while protecting people and the planet.
