    Zimbabwe has experienced increased gold production mainly driven by small-scale miners despite the fall in gold prices on the international market, a new Africa Development Bank (AfDB) report has said.

    Total gold deliveries increased by 11,60% to 1268,41 kg in October 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.
