About us
Built between the mine site and the market
Elite Minerals Group is a precious metals and minerals supplier based in Uganda, connecting local and international buyers with gold, gemstones, mineral ores, and selected natural resources sourced from Uganda and East Africa.
A supplier, not a broker chain
Most East African mineral deals collapse because too many hands sit between the producer and the buyer, each holding a different version of the truth. We removed that structure. Our team buys directly, verifies directly and exports directly.
From our base in Kampala we work with licensed cooperatives and mid-scale operations across Uganda and neighbouring producing regions, handling gold, coloured gemstones, mineral ores and selected natural resources.
International clients deal with one counterparty from first enquiry through assay, permitting, freight and settlement.
What we hold to
Our values
Traceability first
If a lot cannot be traced to a licensed source, we do not move it. That rule has cost us deals and kept us in business.
Verified before priced
No consignment is priced on a claim. Purity and grade are confirmed by instrument and by laboratory.
Fair to the source
Published price formulas, prompt payment and equipment support for the cooperatives we buy from.
Discreet by default
Client volumes, destinations and counterparties are never discussed outside the transaction.
