About GramOne
Built from Africa, for the world
We started with a simple conviction: Africa's mineral wealth should work for Africa first. That idea became GramOne, and it is only getting started.
Our Mission
The energy revolution runs through Africa
Africa holds a significant share of the world's critical mineral reserves: lithium, cobalt, manganese, nickel, and copper. These are the materials that power electric vehicles, grid batteries, and the digital infrastructure of the 21st century.
The energy revolution cannot evolve without involving Africa. GramOne was founded with a clear mandate: to build the critical minerals supply chains the world needs, responsibly, from the continent.
With a sustainability-first approach rooted in circular economy thinking, we are on the path to lead the critical minerals race. For Africa and beyond.
What drives us
Our core values
Africa-First
We believe Africa's mineral wealth belongs to Africa. Our operations prioritise in-country value creation, community partnership, and African leadership.
Precision
Technical precision sits at the core of GramOne. It shows up in our exploration data, refining processes, and how we measure environmental impact.
Sustainability
A circular economy mindset guides every decision. Waste is a resource; every mineral has a second life under our operational philosophy.
Innovation
From deep-sea mineral exploration to advanced hydrometallurgical refining, we operate at the frontier of what is possible in critical minerals.
Community
The communities we operate in are partners, not afterthoughts. We invest in local development, create jobs, and make sure the people closest to the land share in the value we create.
Integrity
Transparent governance, ethical supply chains, and honest reporting are non-negotiable for us. We hold ourselves to the highest standard because the work demands it.
Growth Path
Building the future,
step by step
Phase 1
Exploration & Geological Mapping
Identifying and surveying Africa's most promising critical mineral deposits using modern geoscience and data analytics.
Phase 2
Production & First Offtake
Transitioning from exploration to active mining operations, securing first commercial offtake agreements with global partners.
Phase 3
Refinery Commissioning
Building on-continent refining capacity so Africa retains more value from its own mineral resources.
Phase 4
Recycling Infrastructure
Closing the loop with battery recycling facilities that recover critical minerals and reduce dependence on primary extraction.
Phase 5
Continental Expansion
Scaling operations across multiple African nations to create an integrated, pan-African critical minerals network.
Our Commitment
Mining done right, for the long term
We measure success not just in tonnes extracted, but in communities empowered, ecosystems preserved, and value kept on the continent. Every project we take on is designed to outlast us.
Our ESG framework is embedded into every operation from day one. We work with local governments, community leaders, and international standards bodies to ensure that critical mineral development benefits everyone in the value chain.
