“We look at the projects … the operating jurisdiction, the teams and then ultimately the likelihood that the opportunities will yield follow-on investment in the portfolio. We bring in projects that we think are set up for a future with BHP.” Charlee Johnson, Head of BHP Xplor

Copper - Porphyry

​

  • BHP-Backed copper porphyry exploration

​

​

  • Belt scale multispectral analysis

​

  • Machine learning targeting

​

  • Over 120 Targets identified and ranked
     

  • ​Ready for next phase of field work

Porphyry / Epithermal Gold Exploration

​

  • 4 km long by 1km wide anomaly with artisanal workings at each end of the anomaly

​

  • Gold (up to 0.28g/t) and silver (up to 7.2g/t) as well as arsenic, molybdenum and weak mercury

​

  • Very strong correlation between the pyrophyllite alteration and the gold distribution (indicator for proximity to the feeder structure of the mineralisation)

​

  • Example deposits include Yanacocha (36M Oz) in Peru and Pueblo Viejo (>19M Oz) in the Dominican Republic​
