Value Added Services
Overview
NPM’s role extends beyond the refining of precious metals. By connecting different participants across the value chain, NPM helps create stronger links between local businesses, government entities, institutions, traders, and wider regional and international markets. This helps create a precious metals sector that is more connected, structured, and accessible.
As a one-stop solution for precious metals requirements in Ethiopia, we aim to bring essential services, expertise, and market connections together within a more integrated ecosystem.

Compliance Support
NPM supports clients in navigating the compliance requirements associated with the precious metals sector. Through SAM’s established industry experience and practices aligned with the OECD Guidelines, we support our clients with exceptional compliance consulting services to encourage greater transparency and responsible practices.
Logistical Support
Before reaching their destination, precious metals cover journeys. This makes it essential for them to stay protected throughout – making reliable movement an inevitable part of the process. We have established strong logistics partnerships across the region, supporting the efficient movement between clients, operations, and markets.
Strengthening Market Linkages
By bringing essential precious metals services closer to the source, NPM strengthens connections between local industry participants and regional and international markets, supporting a more integrated precious metals value chain.
Supporting Industry Infrastructure
A strong precious metals market requires more than refining capacity. NPM contributes to the development of the supporting infrastructure, systems, and industry practices required for an increasingly organized and efficient precious metals ecosystem in Ethiopia.
Educating New Talent
NPM supports the development of young Ethiopian talent by building industry knowledge and technical capabilities in the precious metals sector. By preparing a new generation of skilled professionals, we aim to contribute to a stronger local workforce and a more capable and competitive regional precious metals industry.
