Xplor is a global accelerator program designed by BHP, to support us in finding the critical resources necessary to drive the energy transition. Over the past 6 months, BHP Xplor has selected 6 early-stage exploration companies and their respective opportunities to participate in its second Cohort. Over the course of the program, they have been exposed to numerous subject matter experts and learning forums to rapidly augment their capabilities and de-risk their opportunities.
The Xplor Showcase marks the end of the ’24 Cohort program cycle. We invite you to join us for this event virtually to meet our Cohort participants, celebrate their achievements and hear more about how we brought the best of BHP to the table to deliver this world-first program.
An Introduction to the BHP Xplor Cohort
The second Cohort of six was selected out of hundreds of applications received from all around the world, each focused on discovering the copper, nickel and other critical minerals needed to support the energy transition.
The six companies selected have received funding and support under the BHP Xplor accelerator program, which is designed to accelerate geologic concepts, company growth and the potential to establish a long-term partnership with BHP and our global network of partners.
Welcome to the BHP Xplor Virtual Showcase. Hear an overview of program, as well as its successes and learnings, from Sonia Scarselli and Charlee Johnson.
