BHP Xplor is a world-first accelerator program designed to support early-stage mineral exploration companies in finding the critical resources needed to support the energy transition. After the success in its inaugural year, six companies were chosen from a pool of over 500 applicants to join the second Cohort of the BHP Xplor program. BHP Xplor pushes the boundaries of what has conventionally been achievable in the exploration field.
Coming to you live from Toronto, the Xplor Virtual Showcase marks the end of the 2024 Cohort program cycle and the chance to celebrate their achievements. Over the span of the six-month program, the six companies have worked collaboratively with BHP Xplor and a network of internal and external industry experts to build out their exploration concepts across technical, business and operational facets. Join us as we hear first-hand from the Cohort companies about their journey, progress, and learnings from the BHP Xplor program.
