Gold Making Charges in Zimbabwe

In Zimbabwe, the gold making charges typically refer to the fees associated with processing and refining gold, which can be significant for both miners and buyers. These charges are commonly expressed as a percentage of the gram price of gold. On average, making charges can range from 5% to 10% of the gram price, depending on various factors such as the purity of the gold and the specific service provider.

For instance, if the current market price of gold is approximately USD 60 per gram, making charges at 7% would amount to around USD 4.20 per gram. In local currency, assuming an exchange rate of 1 USD = 1,000 Zimbabwean Dollars (ZWL), this translates to an approximate making charge of 4,200 ZWL per gram.

These charges can significantly impact the overall cost of gold transactions. Therefore, both sellers and buyers must consider these costs when engaging in the gold market in Zimbabwe, as they can vary widely and affect the profitability of gold trading.
