Ran Mine in Bindura is now fully operational as resuscitation of closed mines in Mashonaland Central continues in earnest since the Second Republic boosted investor confidence.

The mine closed in 2009, but exploration resumed in 2018.

Gold mining and processing resumed in August 2020 after the installation of a new milling plant and equipment.

The mine has so far produced 122 kilogrammes of the yellow metal.
