ABOUT US
Vega Metals Trading Inc., founded in 2021 and today 100 % owned by Camet AG, is a Montreal - based mineral trading company specialising in copper and other essential resources that power the modern world.
We are convinced that economic success in our business is directly linked to control of sources and suppliers; the desk at the office alone doesn't help. That's why part of our team is directly located on site in Zambia and in addition, the Swiss team also spends lots of time in the field. Quality management is our top priority and only can be guaranteed by being at place. Not to forget that all our suppliers are carefully selected and have gone through our due diligence.

MISSION
At Vega Metals Trading Inc., our mission is to ensure secure, fully controlled, and transparent mineral supply chains that connect Africa’s resources to global markets. Building on over four years of proven experience and long-standing relationships with trusted suppliers, we provide reliability and value at every stage.
Through investment in our own Copperbelt warehouse and future processing facilities in Zambia, we are advancing from pure trading to integrated operations – creating local value, supporting industrial development, and establishing a scalable platform for long-term growth and investor confidence.
VISION

Looking ahead, Vega is positioned to serve a truly international client base while scaling operations for sustainable long-term growth and value creation – providing stability for partners, investors, and host communities alike.

"Copper underpins electrification, mobility and energy systems worldwide."
Copper: A Critical and Indispensable Resource
Copper, in other words, touches our lives every single day. It is essential not only for modern industry but also for our personal lives – and it stands as one of the key building blocks of the future. The examples above – construction, transportation, electronics, and communication – are just a small selection of areas where copper is indispensable, yet they illustrate its immense importance for both the global economy and each of us individually. In reality, copper is used in countless other applications, far too many to cover here, but together they underline one simple truth: without copper, progress would not be possible.
Copper is essential across Electrical & Electronics, Construction, Transportation, and Industry & Machinery. With unmatched conductivity and versatility, it underpins everything from power grids and renewable energy systems to electric vehicles and modern infrastructure.
Today, copper is even classified as a critical resource, as governments and industries worldwide seek to secure long-term supply and strategic assets. With the unstoppable trend toward global electrification, demand for copper will not decline – it will only continue to grow, making copper an irreplaceable foundation for the future.
The global copper market is growing from USD 318 billion in 2023 to USD 333 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach around USD 548 billion by 2034. The main drivers of this growth are the increasing demand for electric vehicles, solar power, and data centers – key industries of the energy transition and digitalization. It is expected that this growth trend will continue beyond 2034, although the long-term development cannot be predicted with absolute certainty.
