Overview
Azora Resources works across the whole value chain for precious and critical metals, from exploration and mining to refining and international trade.
Its focus is on the minerals that modern economies depend on: coltan, the source of tantalum and niobium, alongside lithium, rare earths and gold. These are the materials behind defence systems, electronics and the next generation of innovation.
Daniel founded the group and leads it as Executive Chairman, bringing the experience of building and selling an international business to a sector where long-term partnerships matter most.

Approach
Mine to market
Following metals through each stage, from extraction to refining and sale, within one group.
Long-term partnerships
Building relationships with governments, local operators and mining communities rather than one-off deals.

All insights

Britain Cannot Outsource Its Industrial Future
Manufacturing is just 8% of the British economy. Rebuilding industrial capability is both an economic opportunity and a matter of national resilience.
Britain Must Unlock Its Hidden Wealth
Britain owns trillions of pounds in public assets. Lessons from Singapore and Abu Dhabi show how a national investment platform could put that wealth to work.
