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.
