01 Feb SundayStandard, Cobre secures support for Botswana Copper-Silver Deposits
Australian Stock Exchange (ASX)-listed Cobre has received a significant boost for the development of its potential tier-one copper-silver deposits in Botswana. The company announced its selection to participate in the 2024 BHP Xplor Program this week, a world-first accelerator initiative by BHP designed to unearth critical mineral deposits. This program aims to unite BHP experts, thought leaders, and innovative mineral explorers, providing participants with the opportunity to accelerate their exploration concepts and potentially establish long-term partnerships with BHP.
Cobre plans to utilize the $500,000 funding from BHP Xplor to advance its exploration programs, focusing on assessing and progressing targets with the potential to host tier-one copper-silver deposits. With ownership of the second-largest landholding in the Kalahari Copper Belt (KCB), one of the most promising areas globally for copper exploration, Cobre is exploring approximately 8,100 km2 of tenements within the KCB.
Adam Wooldridge, Cobre’s CEO, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting the unique opportunity the Xplor program provides to collaborate with BHP experts in advancing their Kalahari Copper Belt targeting criteria and exploration initiatives.
