Soleil Metals has produced its first 100 kilograms of Gold Equivalent

In line with the plan set out by the group at the beginning of the year, reaching this symbolic milestone is further proof of the professionalism of the operational and commercial teams at Soleil Metals, OCIM’s Peruvian subsidiary, who have succeeded in renovating the production facilities and rebuilding the confidence of artisanal miners after several years of continuous deterioration. It also confirms the validity of the company’s positioning, whose supply security is based on supporting miners at all stages of the chain (logistical support, quality of reception, speed of payment, etc.), as well as in their own formalization efforts.

The production of these first 100 kilograms of Gold Equivalent in less than five months (including 50kg in October alone) validates Soleil Metals’ objective of exporting at least one Metric Ton of Gold to European LBMA accredited refineries in 2026.

“This success also sends a positive signal to end buyers looking for responsible ASM gold with traceability throughout the production chain. More generally, it is a particularly encouraging first step in our strategy to build a truly sustainable gold value chain from Peru,” explains Laurent Mathiot, Chairman and CEO of OCIM.
