Who we are
Built around mineral sourcing, trust and market access
Elite Minerals Group works at the connection point between mineral supply and market demand. We support buyers seeking dependable access to gold, gold bullion, doré bars, precious metals, gemstones, ores and selected mineral commodities from Uganda and East Africa — understanding buyer requirements, identifying suitable supply, coordinating supplier communication, supporting verification, facilitating commercial discussions and assisting transactions through documentation and logistics.
Our approach starts with clear requirements. Commodity type, quantity, quality, purity, grade, destination, verification requirements, commercial terms and delivery expectations guide each sourcing process. That structure removes unnecessary friction and creates a clearer path from initial inquiry to supply.
Buyer Focus
Commodity, quantity, purity, grade and destination captured up front, so quotations answer the actual requirement.
Regional Sourcing
Uganda-based sourcing with working reach across the wider East African mineral corridors.
Global Trade Support
Verification, documentation, permits and logistics coordinated through one desk from inquiry to delivery.
Responsible Relationships
Licensed suppliers, screened counterparties and records both sides of the table can check.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask before the first shipment
Where do your minerals come from?
+
From licensed artisanal cooperatives and mid-scale operations in Uganda, with selected volumes from neighbouring East African producers. Every lot carries origin documentation.
How is purity confirmed before payment?

XRF screening happens in front of both parties, followed by independent fire assay at an accredited laboratory. Pricing is only fixed once results are shared with the buyer and the seller.
What quantities do you handle?
+
Gold lots typically run from 500 grams to 25 kilograms. Ore and concentrate volumes are handled by the container. Gemstones are traded by graded parcel.
How is payment structured?
+
Escrow, letters of credit or bank-to-bank transfer against release documents. We do not ask new buyers for advance payment on unverified goods.
Can you handle export permits and freight?
+
Yes. Permits, government inspection, insured secure transport and customs clearance are coordinated in-house through our transaction handling desk.
