RE:Tsxventure ;The majors are very hungry for new deposits: BHP introduces BHP Xplor, a cohort-based accelerator program to support early-stage mineral exploration start-ups find critical resources, such as copper and nickel, to drive the energy transition. BHP Xplor merges concepts from both venture-capital and early-stage accelerators, to establish a fit-for-purpose exploration portfolio of innovative early-stage mineral exploration companies and helps drive their exploration campaigns. It will offer candidates in-kind services, mentorship, networking opportunities with industry and investors and connections. Through this program, 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. https://www.bhp.com/news/articles/2022/08/meet-bhp-xplor
