Gino D'Anna

Gino D'Anna is executive director of Askari Metals, an ASX-listed exploration company that has refocused its portfolio towards Africa, with the Nejo gold and copper project in Ethiopia and the Uis tin, lithium, tantalum, caesium and rubidium project in Namibia as its flagship assets. He previously served as executive director of MetalsTech, an ASX-listed company advancing the Sturec gold project in Slovakia. Under D'Anna's leadership, Askari divested its Burracoppin gold project in Western Australia in 2025 to fund African exploration, subsequently acquiring the Nejo project from Hong Kong-based Xingxu Mining International Investment and restarting work at Uis. He has driven the company's strategy of positioning Askari as a focused African explorer and developer, overseeing capital raisings, board appointments and the appointment of technical consultants to advance exploration in Ethiopia and Namibia. D'Anna frequently comments on the strategic significance of tin, lithium and gold to global supply chains and on Askari's exploration milestones, including hyperspectral target generation, soil geochemical surveys, trenching and drilling programmes. He positions Askari within East Africa's broader gold endowment, drawing comparisons to nearby multimillion-ounce deposits such as Tulu Kapi and Kurmuk, and within southern Africa's critical minerals exploration landscape.
