From vines to mineral systems, this one goes deep. Really deep.
Matthew Pustahya, managing director of Litchfield Minerals (ASX:LMS), joins us at Mines in the Vines 2026 to unpack how BHP Xplor has reshaped the company’s approach to exploration.
Key topics discussed:
- Looking deeper: Magnetotellurics and gravity change the exploration lens
