Board & Management

Mr Tony Rovira

Managing Director

Mr Rovira has worked in the mining industry for over 30 years as an exploration and mining geologist and for the past 17 years as Managing Director of Azure Minerals.
Mr Rovira has been responsible for the discovery of several gold and nickel deposits in Australia which were developed into operating mines. His most famous discoveries were the rich Cosmos and Cosmos Deeps nickel sulphide deposits in Western Australia. In 2000, Mr Rovira was awarded the Prospector of the Year Award by the Australian Association of Mining and Exploration Companies for the Cosmos discovery.
From 2006 to 2020, Azure has operated in Mexico where the company has made several silver, gold and copper discoveries. Due to the Covid-19, Mr Rovira made the decision to refocus into Western Australia and shortly thereafter announced the acquisition of four nickel and gold projects in the Pilbara. Leading the way is the Andover Nickel Project where drilling is underway and massive nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation is being intersected.
