Executive Summary
Mun-Labs is a consultancy project, specializing in analyzing rock, solution and carbon
samples from mines, determining the quality and quantity of minerals in the given
sample. The metallurgical report then generated will be used by the concerned miner in
the design of his geological data base and his extraction plans.
The project is not yet running but will be located in the Midlands' mining district of
Mberengwa.
The creation of this project has been necessitated by the absence of sample assay
services in the districts yet there are several small-scale miners in this and surrounding
districts. The government has also made it a requisite that detailed geological data
about reefs and blocks be obtained by every miner from a recognized laboratory or
mining consultant before they commence operations at their mines.
The project will generate its income from the service of analyzing rock, solution and
carbon samples brought by clients. With a projected inflow of over 400 samples daily,
the project can generate up to US$ 85 000 monthly.
The project is new and staff would need to be hired. However reliance can be placed on
the project director Mr. Simba Munyaradzi. He has vast experience in mine
management with several reputable mining companies for over 25 years.
The project is seeking funding to the tune of US$ 222 808; this will be to finance the
construction of a building complex, installation of laboratory equipment. If this is
provided then the project will likely commence operation within 2 months.

General Company Description
Mun-Labs project is a project that seeks to establish a laboratory in Mberengwa,
Midlands, which specializes in taking rock or solution or carbon samples from mines,
determining the value of a mineral in that sample. The aim is to provide accurate
information to the concerned miner so that they know how to invest or work on a
particular type of ore, shaft or tunnel, with professional resource information and most
economic and environmentally friendly methods of doing so.
It is also a procedural requirement that miners have a detailed geological and mineral
resource report that is backed by assay reports when registration of their blocks is done,
but this has been hampered in the past the non-availability of Mine Laboratories, and
the few that are there belong to established mines who are struggling to cope with
thousands of their own samples. This project seeks to be a bridge to cover that gap.
The target end user is the small scale miner, who commands the majority of miners in
the Mberengwa and Zvishavane areas. Samples from outside this region will be a
bonus, and with time will be a major driver for the whole project.
This project has also been necessitated by discovery of new minerals in the areas-for
example antimony, tantalite, PGM’s, copper, etc. The laboratory will be there to assist
miners seeking to know the quantity and quality of the mineral that they can profitably
extract at their mines, and as Metallurgical Laboratory, assist in Milling Process designs
and improvements on already existing plants.
The laboratory will also take samples of water and soil (in case of farmers), for
determination of quality and its ‘activity’. This project will achieve its objective through all
kinds of assaying, from fire assays, wet assays and instrument analysis using Atomic
Absorption Spectrometers (AAS machines).
The laboratory will also do Leach Diagnostic Tests, using Bottle Roll Machines to mimic
actual operations to determine the best possible process designs for the vastly different
ores so that miners can mine and win their valuable metals effectively and efficiently.

This project will be located at Mberengwa Offices, Mberengwa. The place serves as a
central and reachable place by clients from both Zvishavane and Mberengwa. The
laboratory can also serve clients from as far as Masvingo.
Project Mission and Vision
The project's mission is to provide accurate mining resource data that will enable the
small-scale miner to economically and profitably extract minerals at a reasonable cost.
Its vision is to bridge the gap between ‘peasant’ mining and real small scale mining with
growth potential.

Management and Organization:
The project is not yet running. However the project is to be run by professional assayers
and assistant assayers and laboratory assistants. A grounds man is also needed for
general cleanliness of the premises.
The organization will therefore be comprised of the following:
(i) Assayer (1)
These personnel will be responsible for assaying rock/solution/carbon samples, and
water and determining the quality of mineral therein.
(ii) Assistant Assayer (1)
Will be assisting the assayer in his duties mentioned above.
(iii) Laboratory Assistants (5)
Will be assisting the assayers with various laboratory processes
(iv) Grounds man (1)
The major source of labour will be professionals to be hired since the project is not yet
operational.
However, the project director Mr. Simba Munyaradzi has vast experience in the various
facets of the mining field with more than 25 years metallurgical experience. He has
worked in various mining companies including ZMDC Sabi Gold Mines, Falcon Venice
Mine, ZMDC Alaska Copper mines, Lonrho’s Arcturus Mines in Mashonaland East,
Golden Kopje Mines in Chinhoyi, Mackrock Exor Mines in Shamva and Anesugold in
Mberengwa, in different managerial capacities. Currently he is the Mineral Processing
(Plant) Manager for Anesugold; Mberengwa. He can be counted on to lead a viable
project.

Recurrent revenue-expenditure Economics:
The project's income is generated solely from assaying samples brought by clients.
It is expected that 200 solid samples will be brought per day. Assaying costs miners
US$15 per sample; thus in 26-day month US$78 000 will be realized.
The project expects to receive 200 solution samples per day. Assaying solution samples
costs miners US$1 per sample; thus in a 26-day month US$5200 will be realized.
About 100 carbon samples are expected to be brought for assay per month. With a
sample being charged at US$20 to assay, the project expects to get US$2600 in a 26-
day month.
On the other hand the major cost drivers will be power, wages/salaries as well as
consumables.
At the prevailing rates an assayer gets US$600 monthly while his assistant gets
US$500. A laboratory assistant is paid US$300 monthly. A grounds man gets US$250
in a month.
Chemicals (litharge, nitric acid, HCL, HCLO, zinc, stannous chloride) are expected to
cost US$250 while materials (tongs, cupels, crucibles, glo bars, elements etc) will
consume US$200.
The attached chart shows how revenue and expenditure will be fluctuating. See
Annexure ''A''.

Dear Sir,
Re: Application for an Industrial Stand to Build and set up a Mining laboratory
I hereby apply for a piece of land in the Light industry Area to build a Mining Analytical
laboratory.
My name is Simba Munyaradzi and I currently work for Anesugold in Mberengwa as Plant
Manager/ Metallurgist but I have a strong willing to build and operate my own Mining
Laboratory in line with Government Indigenization, Empowerment, and Employment Creation
Policy.
I am in the process of identifying partners and funding to make the dream a success, and if I am
allocated a stand for this purpose, the fund-raising process will be much easier.
When this dream becomes a reality, Mberengwa will boast to be the first to have a state- of- the-
art Mining Analytical Laboratory run by indigenous people. We will also create employment for
our youths, but above all, we will provide an essential service to our local ‘small’ miners who
have been struggling to get such services for a very long time. At the present our miners are just
mining haphazardly, without any geological knowledge or any professional assays and samples
not because they do not want to have them, but simply because such service is just not there.
You might also be aware that it’s a regulatory requirement that miners submit assays before
registration of a mine is done, but a lot of shortcuts had to be done because there is no such
laboratory in Mberengwa, Zvishavane or even Masvingo.
I pray to you and your council to be part of this revolutionary and visionary process and grant us
this piece of land.
I would to like to thank you very much in advance.
Yours faithfully,
Simba Munyaradzi.
