Safety First
The safety of our employees, contractors and surrounding communities comes first. We work to identify risks early and maintain safe field operations throughout exploration and development.

Building Critical Mineral Projects for Long-Term Value
BlackRock Exploration PLC is focused on identifying and advancing critical, precious and industrial mineral opportunities.
What we do
- 01Mineral exploration
- 02Geological assessment
- 03Field operations
- 04Technical studies
- 05Project development
BlackRock Exploration works across mineral exploration, geological assessment, field operations, technical studies, project development and mining.
We take a step-by-step approach. We start with the geology and available data, identify what additional work is needed, and move projects forward based on the results.
As projects develop, we work with mining engineers, geologists, laboratories, technical specialists, financial institutions and strategic partners to build the technical and commercial foundation needed for the next stage. Where the results support development, our goal is to move projects from exploration and feasibility into mine development and mining operations.
Our current portfolio includes lithium, gold, coal, granite and graphite projects. Through these projects, BlackRock is building experience across different stages of the mineral development process, from early exploration to mining.
02 / Approach
Explore. Understand. Develop.
We believe successful mineral projects start with strong geological information.
BlackRock approach is to understand the geology first, collect reliable data and make development decisions based on the results.
As projects move forward, we bring together the technical, financial and strategic partners needed to take projects from exploration and project development toward mining and production, where the results support it.

03 / Values
What guides every project.
Responsible Development
We believe environmental and community considerations should start during exploration. We consider land, water, rehabilitation and community engagement as projects move forward.
Strong Technical Work
Good decisions depend on good information. We focus on collecting reliable geological and technical data before making major development decisions.
Local Capability, Global Partnerships
We build our operating capability locally while working with international technical, financial and strategic partners when their experience can strengthen a project.
Long-Term Value
We look beyond the exploration stage. Our goal is to develop mineral opportunities that can create lasting value for the company, our partners and the communities around our projects.
