レアメタルの第一人者が語る秩序なき時代のレアメタル対策とは何なのか

Rare Metal Strategies in an Era of Global Disorder — Insights from a Leading Industry Authority


Profile
Shigeo Nakamura spent 30 years at Chori Co., Ltd., where he was engaged in rare metal procurement, operating at the forefront of Japan’s resource trading sector.

In 2004, he founded AMJ, a specialized rare metals trading company, which he managed for 20 years. Through his leadership, AMJ developed extensive global networks in rare metal development and importation, particularly across China, Russia, and Central Asia. Over the course of his career, Mr. Nakamura has visited 116 countries, building direct relationships within the global resource industry.

In August 2022, he established UMC Resources Co., Ltd., with a focus on resource development in Central Asia. Recognizing Japan’s insufficient rare metal stockpiles and the strategic necessity of securing critical minerals — including precious metals — for a technology-driven nation, he is committed to strengthening resource security.

UMC Resources aims to serve as a bridge between resource-rich nations and Japan, advancing partnerships grounded in national interest and long-term strategic stability.
