Being selected for the 2026 Xplor program provides access to technical expertise, experienced mentors and industry perspectives that will help us accelerate our exploration concept. Xplor is also a strong endorsement of the FrontierX partnership-led, discovery-focused business model. We look forward to working with BHP and the other cohort participants over the months ahead.”
Tim O’Connor, BHP Group Exploration Officer, said:
“FrontierX demonstrated a clear and well-supported geological concept with potential in a future-facing commodity. Their technical approach, combined with the capability of their team and their commitment to disciplined testing, make them a strong addition to this year’s cohort. The Xplor program supports early-stage explorers who are working to progress and mature their concepts. We look forward to supporting FrontierX as they advance their work through the program.”

“FrontierX is a great example of what we hope Xplor can build over time. The founding team includes Xplor alumni, which speaks to the long-term relationships and capability the program is designed to foster.
