Who We Are

Founded in 2018, Green Tech Mining & Services LLC is a joint venture between Austria-based BPG Precious Metal Storage Plc and Oman Mining Company, established as a special purpose vehicle to reshape the Oman mining sector through sustainability, environmental responsibility, and resource recovery where we mainly focus in processing mine tailings, treating acid mine drainage, and transforming low-grade ore stockpiles into valuable resources like copper, gold, and silver.

Our vision is to close the loop in mining operations by contributing to the circular economy, extracting valuable metals from leftover resources while rehabilitating land and water resources to ensure they are free from contaminants. We are committed to transforming the legacy of mining into opportunities for sustainable development by integrating advanced technologies, restoring ecosystems, and unlocking economic value from waste.

Aligned with global sustainability standards and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), our aim is to develop innovative solutions that balance economic growth with environmental stewardship. Together, we aim to redefine the future of mining, turning past challenges into a sustainable future.

Corporate Governance

Good governance requires fair legal frameworks that are enforced impartially. It also requires full protection of human rights, particularly those of minorities. In a corporate context, we in Green Tech Mining & Services see good governance as creating the environment for all individuals and stakeholders to have a voice. Hence our commitment to good corporate governance means:

Embedding diversity and inclusiveness from top to the bottom and fostering a diversity of perspectives, backgrounds and experiences at all levels to ensure all our decisions reflect the needs of all stakeholders. We put a framework for governance in place that acts as a guide for us to cover all characteristics of good practice, transparency, accountability and fairness.

Our Management Committee and Board play a central role in ensuring that our approach embraces all elements of good governance. This includes regularly evaluating all performances, prioritizing independence in the Committee and separating powers between Board and Management.
