ZIMBABWE could lose the equivalent of four months of mining output this year because an acute dollar shortage has led to delays by banks in processing payments for imports of spare parts and supplies, the Chamber of Mines warned on Monday.

The problem affects the entire mining sector, which includes gold, nickel, chrome, diamonds and coal.Zimbabwe ditched its own dollar in favour of the multiple-currency system in 2009 to try to put a lid on hyper-inflation and prevent a complete meltdown of the economy.
