Funding for early-stage exploration is a huge challenge for the mining sector, which is facing a severe discovery deficit at precisely the time we need to find more metals to feed the energy transition.
BHP’s answer to this acute challenge is BHP Xplor, a global accelerator program targeting innovative, early-stage mineral exploration companies looking for the critical resources necessary to drive the energy transition. Companies are invited to apply for purses of US$500,000 in equity-free funding through the program and Xplor will position itself to provide ongoing support for systematic exploration on the back of any early success.
