The mine is owned and operated by RZM Murowa (Private) Limited, a member of RioZim (a Zimbabwe listed company).

Current estimates put construction costs at $61 million USD and mine reserves are 19 million tonnes of ore, with an ore grade of 0.9 carats (180 mg) per tonne.

Murowa consists of three north-trending kimberlite pipes, intrusive into the Chivi suite granites of the Zimbabwe Craton.

Limited mining operations began in Murowa in 2004, with full capacity expected to be reached sometime in 2005, although permitting problems slowed progress towards this milestone.

[3] In 2023, the previous owner of the mine, Harpal Randhawa, died alongside his son and 4 other passengers in a plane crash.
