About Us
Pioneering excellence in mining with integrity, innovation, and sustainable practices since 2012.
Our Story
Founded in 2012, Kirombe Mines Limited has grown from a small local operation to become one of East Africa's leading mining companies. Our journey began with a simple vision: to harness Uganda's mineral wealth responsibly while creating sustainable value for all stakeholders.
Over the past years, we have expanded our operations across multiple sites, invested in cutting-edge technology, and built a diverse team of mining professionals committed to excellence. Today, we operate several productive mines, processing facilities, and maintain a global trading network that spans four continents.
What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to ethical mining practices, environmental stewardship, and community development. We believe that mining can be a powerful catalyst for positive change when conducted with respect for people and the planet.
