How we began.
Orion Metallium Group was founded in 2018 by a team of seasoned mining professionals and ethical trade advocates who recognized a critical gap in the global minerals market: the need for a transparent, responsible, and Africa-rooted supplier of high-value resources. Beginning with modest operations in East and Central Africa, we built our foundation on direct partnerships with artisanal and small-scale mining cooperatives committed to fair labor practices and environmental care. From our early days brokering traceable gold and tantalite shipments, we quickly earned a reputation for integrity, reliability, and uncompromising adherence to ethical standards. This trust fueled our growth into a full-cycle player—engaged in both responsible mining and international trading—while never losing sight of our core mission: to unlock Africa’s mineral wealth in a way that benefits local communities and meets the world’s demand for responsibly sourced materials.

In a sector often shadowed by opacity, Orion Metallium stands apart as a beacon of integrity—proving that profitability and principle can go hand in hand.
