Deposits of oil and gas were discovered during a survey in the northern Cabora Bassa region of the country according to a BBC report.

Between September and December 2022, an analysis of five mud gas samples collected from the Upper Angwa reservoir conducted by Australian firm, Invictus Energy revealed “light oil” and very “rich gas”.

The unearthing of oil and gas deposits in Zimbabwe is a big win for the country as it has over the years widely concentrated on its mining sector to grow its economy.
