“Three siblings. One hometown. One legacy.”

ORION B+ MENGOME was born from the shared vision of three siblings from Ndjolé — Jean‑Luc Mengome, Judah Alice Mengome, and Armand Ango Mengome — who believed their hometown deserved more than the extractive, unstable, and environmentally harmful mining practices of the past.

They are the grandchildren of the late Pastor Armand Joachim Mengome Ango, a respected spiritual leader whose life was defined by service, integrity, and community upliftment.

His legacy became the foundation of their mission.

Expert in corporate implantation across Africa

Jean‑Luc spent years helping companies establish themselves across the continent.

He understood:

• how to structure a business properly

• how to navigate African regulatory environments

• how to build partnerships with governments and investors

• how to create systems that last

His expertise became the backbone of ORION B+ MENGOME's governance, compliance, and long‑term strategy.

Entrepreneur, green‑energy advocate, and ESG‑driven leader

Judah brought a different kind of fire — a belief that mining can be clean, ethical, and community‑centered.

Her passion for:

• renewable energy

• environmental protection

• women’s empowerment

• community development

• transparent, traceable supply chains

shaped the company’s identity.

She became the architect of ORION B+ MENGOME’s ESG vision and its commitment to zero‑mercury, responsible gold.

Former independent artisanal miner from Ndjolé

Armand lived the artisanal mining reality.

He knew:

• the challenges miners face

• the dangers of mercury

• the instability of informal mining

• the lack of support for local workers

• the potential hidden beneath the soil of Ndjolé

His experience grounded the company in truth.

He ensured ORION B+ MENGOME would never forget the people at the heart of the industry.

The three siblings made a bold choice:

to invest in their hometown and build a mining company that protects the land, empowers the people, and honors their grandfather’s legacy.

They envisioned:

• a clean, modern, zero‑mercury gold industry

• a fully traceable supply chain

• jobs for local youth and women

• community infrastructure (clinic, library, technical high school)

• solar‑powered development

• water protection and environmental stewardship

• a stable, transparent, ethical business model

This was not just a company.

It was a commitment to Ndjolé’s future.

To support this vision, the siblings expanded their mission through the Mengome Family Office, designed to:

• create environmentally friendly businesses

• diversify the Ndjolé economy

• attract responsible investment

• build local capacity

• generate dignified employment

• support education and youth development

• protect forests, rivers, and biodiversity

Their goal is simple:

to turn Ndjolé into a model of sustainable, community‑driven economic growth.

Pastor Armand Joachim Mengome Ango taught his family that leadership means service.

His grandchildren transformed that lesson into action.

Today, ORION B+ MENGOME stands as a symbol of:

• responsible African entrepreneurship

• community‑centered development

• environmental protection

• ethical gold production

• and a new generation of Gabonese leadership

This is the story of the founders.

A story of roots, responsibility, and renewal.

A story that begins in Ndjolé — and is now shaping the future of responsible mining in Africa.
