We are six months into BHP Xplor's 2026 program and momentum is building. This year's cohort brings together 10 companies across four continents, combining early-stage explorers and, for the first time, four exploration technology companies. Since February, the program has delivered 280+ hours of structured capability development, 100+ one-on-one sessions with technical and operational experts, and direct field engagement, including a recent site visit to Litchfield Minerals at its Oonagalabi project in the Northern Territory. BHP Xplor is BHP's early-stage exploration accelerator, now in its fourth year. It supports selected companies with non-dilutive funding of up to USD $500k, access to BHP's technical expertise, and connections across BHP's global network. 2027 applications open 31 August 2026.
