About Us
Our Company started as an initiative to provide artisanal miners the opportunity to sell their products at a fair price following all national and international standards and best legal practices. This project began with a precious metals trading agency located in the Department of Antioquia, where we were pioneers in the use of technological equipment, focused on providing fair trade, something that continues to be embedded in our company’s DNA.
Today, Orometro has 25 buying agencies, distributed in four Colombian Departments and holds a mining lease over a 50 -hectare area currently under development in the town of Anorí, in the Department of Antioquia, thus allowing the Company to produce and sell gold and silver in different presentations, according to customer needs.
Anorí - Antioquia.
This mine is authorized to operate under Colombia mining regulations and has an annual production of 28,800 grams of gold and its concentrates.
Our Company currently provides over 100 direct jobs and is a significant actor in terms of tax collection in the areas where we operate, thus contributing to the country’s economic reactivation and social development.
In addition, we actively take part in initiatives aimed at improving the well-being of the communities where we operate and their environment, through reforestation projects and the implementation of agreements to eliminate mercury from mining operations.

POLICY ON SECURITY AND CONTROL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BUSINESS ALLIANCE FOR SECURE COMMERCE
OROMETRO S.A.S., aware of its context in the Colombian mining sector and the risk scenarios to which the company is exposed in the development of its missions, is thus committed to transparency and reliability in its supply chain.
In order to achieve this purpose, it has established a Control and Security Management System that seeks to minimize -through the implementation of specific measures- the probability of occurrence of risks and to reduce their impact should they materialize. It also seeks to ensure safe use of information technologies and to promote a culture of security within OROMETRO S.A.S. for the prevention of illicit activities, especially those related to illegal mining, corruption, bribery, money laundering, financing of terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and other situations that may affect the integrity of the processes, the company’s operation and its stakeholders.
This commitment is developed in compliance with the legal and regulatory requirements demanded by the National Government as well as those to which the company has committed itself with other entities. For this purpose, we have the different technical, human and technological resources necessary for the operation of the Control and Security Management System (SGCS, for its Spanish acronym), which in turn is framed within a scheme of continuous improvement.
