100% Ethiopian-owned | Established 28 November 2017
QOLANSA MINERALS & MINING PLC was created with a straightforward purpose: to use Ethiopia’s natural resources responsibly, grow them into real economic value, and build a company that reflects the strength and honesty of the people behind it.
Underground, our work starts with minerals.
We explore gold, tantalum, graphite, and gemstones with disciplined methods, careful planning, and a deep respect for the land. Everything we extract is handled with safety, precision, and transparency. Our team works with the mindset that every deposit is a long-term national asset, not just a short-term opportunity.
Above ground, we are equally committed to agriculture.
In the lowlands of western Oromia, our sesame fields are managed through a mix of community knowledge and modern systems. Harvest season mobilizes entire villages, and the work is shared with pride. After cutting and collecting, we clean and sort the seeds using both traditional techniques and modern processing machinery. The result is export-grade sesame delivered to international markets such as Japan, China, Turkey, and Israel.
In the highland areas, we manage coffee farms where every step — picking, washing, drying, milling — is done carefully and consistently. Our Guji and Yirgacheffe coffees follow strict quality controls to ensure they meet global specialty standards.
Across all our operations, we also engage in quarrying, livestock, honey production, construction support, and eco-tourism development. Our approach is simple: build strong systems, maintain discipline, respect the communities we work with, and create long-term value.
Every part of QOLANSA reflects one idea — responsible growth that benefits people, the land, and the country.
