Soleil Metals, a fully owned Peruvian subsidiary operates two gold ore processing units duly authorized by the local authorities: Soleil One and Soleil Two. An exemplary player in terms of social responsibility and good environmental practices, Soleil Metals sources gold & silver bearing ore from small-scale and artisanal miners (ASM) and exports its doré bar production to LBMA accredited refiners.

Thanks to a solid regulatory expertise such offtakes are fully compliant and provide a growing source of responsible ASM Gold. Whenever possible, OCIM Metals & Mining also provides short term financing to upstream actors by way of advance or provisional payments. OCIM Metals & Mining provides its strong working capital funding capacity to its subsidiary Soleil Metals, hence making sure Soleil is competitive in the ASM market at all times.
Electrum operates actively on Metals, Commodities and Forex financial markets via a large network of banks and brokers, using sophisticated proprietary strategies and derivatives instruments such as futures and options.

Hedging strategies are geared towards providing both downside protection and upside participation to the volatile price moves of the underlying markets. Electrum also manages trading books across commodities for its own account with the objective of delivering optimal risk-adjusted returns, under strict capital allocation and risk management rules.
