Litchfield Minerals goes DEEP with BHP Xplor

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
  • Bigger picture: Thinking shifts from individual targets to regional mineral systems
  • Copper hunt: Oonagalabi remains central to the exploration strategy
  • BHP Xplor: Technical, commercial, and leadership support sharpens the approach
  • Building scale: New systems and processes support the company’s next phase

About the guest and company:
Matthew Pustahya is the managing director of Litchfield Minerals, an ASX-listed mineral systems explorer focused on the Harts Range corridor in the Northern Territory. Its flagship Oonagalabi Project is targeting a large-scale copper system, with the company using geophysics, structural modelling, and mineral systems to guide exploration.
