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.

Last year seven companies and individuals received funding.

The senior Xplor team will be presenting to the Perth-based junior mining community at an in-person event in late September ahead of the application process closing on October 11.

Explorers looking to learn more and access Xplor funding are invited to register their interest here.
