Our Four Pillars of Responsible Mineral Supply Chains
Balancing environmental conservation, miner welfare, and global regulatory compliance.
Artisanal Welfare
Artisanal Formalization & Safety
We partner with local mining cooperatives to provide personal protective equipment (PPE), modern ventilation, geotechnical slope stability engineering, and transparent direct electronic payments.
OECD Compliance
OECD 5-Step Due Diligence & ITSCI
Full adherence to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (CAHRAs), reinforced by barcode tagging and ICGLR audit certificates.
Clean Technology
Mercury-Free Clean Beneficiation
We deploy modern shaker tables, Falcon concentrators, and magnetic separators that recover fine gold and heavy minerals purely through mechanical gravity separation without toxic mercury or cyanide.
Ecosystem Restoration
Land Rehabilitation & Reforestation
Every mining concession partner is mandated to backfill excavated pits, replant indigenous acacia and bamboo species, and preserve local water catchment basins post-extraction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Responsible Mineral Supply Chains
Clear answers on conflict minerals, environmental reclamation, KYC due diligence, and ASM formalization.
How does Agro Metal prevent conflict minerals from entering the supply chain?
We enforce strict OECD 5-Step Due Diligence across all sourcing corridors. We only purchase minerals from mines that hold validated 'Green Flag' status under the ICGLR Regional Certification Mechanism (RCM). Every lot is barcoded at the pithead under ITSCI supervision, eliminating any mingling with unverified sources.
How do you ensure fair pricing for artisanal and small-scale miners (ASM)?
Agro Metal uses transparent daily pricing formulas directly indexed to London Metal Exchange (LME) and LBMA spot prices, deducting only documented processing and logistics costs. Settlements are made directly via mobile money or bank transfer to cooperative accounts, preventing exploitative middlemen discounts.
What measures are taken to eliminate child labor at artisanal sites?
We enforce strict zero-tolerance policies for child labor in accordance with ILO Conventions 138 and 182. All partner cooperatives must maintain verified age registries, and our field teams conduct frequent unannounced site inspections. Non-compliant sites face immediate contract termination.
How does Agro Metal address environmental impact and land rehabilitation?
We provide cooperative partners with mechanized equipment to backfill extraction trenches and establish indigenous tree nurseries. In addition, we have phased out mercury use across all our gold aggregation circuits in favor of gravity concentration and centrifugal separation.
Can buyers review full traceability data before cargo dispatch?
Yes. Every shipment is accompanied by a digital Traceability Dossier including GPS coordinates of the origin mine, ITSCI tag numbers, mining permit numbers, royalty tax clearance receipts, and independent SGS assay certificates.
