Partner with Ethic Minerals
Our Mission
Creating Value Together
At Ethic Minerals, we believe that responsible mining begins with strong and transparent partnerships.
We work with local and regional mines that share our values of ethics, sustainability, and operational excellence, helping them bring their mineral production to international markets.
We offer:
- Direct access to our global network of buyers and distributors.
- Technical, logistical, and commercial support.
- Certification and traceability compliant with international standards (LBMA, OECD, RJC).
- Financial support and the possibility of becoming strategic partners.
How we collaborate. Two ways to grow together:
1. Commercialization of Your Production
If your company is certified and operates responsibly, Ethic Minerals can purchase your entire production and manage its sale to our international clients.
We guarantee fair pricing, transparent transactions, and full logistical management, ensuring that your gold or minerals reach global markets efficiently and ethically.
Our goal is to simplify your operations so you can focus on production, while we handle everything else — from transport and export documentation to final customer delivery.
2. Strategic Partnership
If your mine is expanding or requires investment, we can become partners, providing capital, technology, and sales channels. We build long-term relationships based on trust and transparency.
