Caledonia Mining ( (CMCL) ) has shared an update.

Caledonia Mining says Zimbabwe’s government has softened previously proposed tax and royalty changes for gold miners in the 2026 national budget, significantly reducing potential financial pressure on the company’s local operations. The royalty rate hike to 10% will now only trigger if gold prices exceed US$5,000 per ounce rather than US$2,500, while planned restrictions on upfront tax deductibility of capital expenditure and a proposed 15% withholding tax on interest from offshore loans have been withdrawn—an important outcome for the debt-funded Bilboes Gold Project. The revised measures, expected to be enacted before year-end, mean Caledonia anticipates no change to the financial outlook for its Zimbabwean asset portfolio at prevailing gold prices, and management says the shift underscores government support for the mining sector and future project development.
