About: Inconclusive. However, it is worth noting that the whole data from the Swiss Aid report is not supported by other data sources. The claim that ‘Zim, a top 5 gold smuggler’ is unsupported since there is no other source putting Zimbabwe’s total gold production anywhere near 78,000kg for both large and artisanal and small scale miners. Estimates put Zimbabwe’s smuggled gold between 20 and 36 tonnes, not over 50 tonnes as claimed in the SwissAid report. The 55,000kg figure is from a response to a SwissAid survey by the Zimbabwe Environmental Law Association whose estimates are that for every kg of declared ASM gold, there are three quarters going undeclared.
