About the Event
Join us for the BHP Xplor Virtual Showcase Event

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.

Meet the 2024
Xplor Cohort

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.

"We all know the energy transition is coming. I think it's really exciting to see if BHP can lift the whole industry to try and meet this challenge. Xplor has the opportunity to unlock critical minerals in a way that we've never done before. That doesn't just impact BHP. That impacts the world."

Charlee Johnson
Head of BHP Xplor

Peter Bewick
"The rigour, toolkit and systems BHP are bringing has been fascinating, it's been really interesting to put our little project into this style of work and system. The BHP Xplor Program has given us an opportunity to grow this business and to become a substantial mineral exploration and mining company."
