An engineer-led company across Kenya’s mining value chain.

Green Earth Mining and Trading Ltd builds and operates across the wider mining value chain - sourcing, grading, trading, mine planning, licensing, plant hire and mineral processing - with technical credibility at the centre of every engagement.

Who we are

GEMT, in brief.

Green Earth Mining and Trading Ltd (GEMT) is a Kenyan mining and mineral trading company based in Voi, Taita Taveta County. While we have deep expertise and high interest in the gemstone fields of Voi and the wider Taita Taveta belt, our operations extend across Kenya’s mineral resources - gemstones, gold, base metals and industrial minerals - and across the full set of activities that support responsible mining and mineral processing.

What differentiates GEMT is who runs it: a team of mining and mineral processing engineers rather than pure brokers. That technical grounding lets us grade material accurately, support mine planning and development, advise on licensing under the Mining Act 2016, and deliver plant hire and civil works that keep operations moving.

Our products and services span mineral sourcing and trading; mine planning, development and management; sustainable mining solutions; licensing consultation; earth movers for hire; civil engineering support; and our signature Social Experience programme. We work with artisanal and small-scale miners, dealers, investors and project developers as a long-term partner - not a single-transaction buyer.
