The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe records 12,085.67 kg of gold delivered to Fidelity Gold Refinery (FGR) in the second quarter of 2026 in its Quarterly Economic Review for June 2026, 29.79% more than the 9,311.92 kg of the first quarter and 4.12% more than the 11,607.14 kg of the second quarter of 2025. Small-scale producers delivered 8,431.69 kg, or 69.77% of the total, and primary producers 3,653.99 kg. The review sources the deliveries table to FGR and the output table to the Ministry of Mines and Mining Development and the Chamber of Mines of Zimbabwe, which put gold output for the quarter at 12,482.92 kg.
FGR describes itself on its website as the sole buyer, refiner and exporter of gold in Zimbabwe, which makes the deliveries table the intake of the country’s single export channel for gold. Recorded output exceeded that intake by 397.25 kg in the second quarter of 2026 and by 193.48 kg in the first, against 894.12 kg in the second quarter of 2025, when output stood at 12,501.26 kg. FGR buys through centres spread across the gold-producing regions and through appointed agents who collect from outlying areas and from artisanal miners. For the 69.77% delivered by small-scale producers, FGR’s own record of the metal therefore begins with a purchase at one of those centres or through an agent. On FGR’s description, gold of Zimbabwean mine origin is exported with FGR as exporter, and the Reserve Bank publishes each quarter the volume that channel took in.
The review covers April to June 2026. Output statistics belong to the Ministry of Mines and Mining Development and the Chamber of Mines of Zimbabwe, and purchase and export records to FGR.
