Yes, Zimbabwe historically supplied gold and ivory to East Africa, particularly during the height of the Great Zimbabwe civilization from the 11th to 15th centuries. The region was known for its rich mineral resources, including gold, which were traded with coastal cities along the Indian ocean. Copper was also mined and traded, but gold and ivory were the more significant exports that fueled trade networks in East Africa and beyond.
