History of Scovito Group

Scovito was founded in 2014 by two young entrepreneurs who started as small-scale miners in the Tanzanite mines of Mererani, Tanzania. Recognizing the challenges faced by local miners, they aimed to eliminate middlemen and connect directly with global markets to ensure fair value for the minerals mined. This vision led to the creation of Scovito Group, a company dedicated to supporting small-scale miners and facilitating their access to global markets.

In 2017, Scovito expanded its operations into the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a country rich in mineral resources. This strategic move allowed Scovito to tap into the vast potential of the DRC’s mining sector, connecting local miners with global markets and further advancing the company’s mission to empower small-scale miners. The expansion also paved the way for Scovito to attract investment into the region, providing the necessary capital and modern equipment to enhance mining operations and increase production. This move reinforced Scovito’s commitment to sustainable mining practices and growth across Africa.

In 2020, Scovito expanded its operations into Zambia and Ghana, two countries with rich mineral deposits, particularly in copper, gold, and gemstones. This expansion allowed Scovito to further its mission of empowering small-scale miners and providing them with direct access to global markets. By establishing a presence in these key African mining hubs, Scovito was able to facilitate investment in local mining operations, promote sustainable practices, and help miners achieve higher productivity through the use of modern equipment and technologies. This move marked another significant milestone in Scovito’s growth and commitment to transforming the African mining sector.

2024 - Expansion into South Africa, Cameroon, and Global Market USA Office In 2025, Scovito further expanded its operations into South Africa and Cameroon, two prominent mining regions in Africa known for their rich mineral resources, including gold, diamonds, and platinum. This strategic expansion strengthened Scovito’s position as a leader in the African mining industry and allowed the company to support even more small-scale miners, helping them access global markets and improve their operations through modern technology and investment. Additionally, Scovito established a USA office, marking a significant milestone in its global outreach. This office serves as a key hub for connecting North American investors, buyers, and industry partners with mining operations in Africa. The USA office is instrumental in facilitating international business partnerships, enhancing Scovito’s ability to connect local African miners with a broader global market, and further solidifying the company’s role in the international mining sector.
