BHP’s Xplor looking for more copper, nickel exploration projects
BHP Xplor, an accelerator program introduced by the miner in August 2022 to help grow its portfolio of what it calls forward facing commodities, will launch a second round in September, which will focus on copper and nickel-related projects exclusively, the head of the initiative said.
The other goal of the program, Scarselli told MINING.COM, is to change the way BHP and the industry in general have been investing in the junior space.
“We hope to create disruptive results in copper and nickel exploration by identifying new concepts, leveraging new data and testing opportunities at a much faster pace than discoveries to date,” Sonia Scarselli, BHP Xplor's VP said.
BHP expects the world to need twice the amount of copper presently produced by 2030, and four times the current supply of nickel.
