Is the method better than walking the ground

The method

Ranked targets, not lottery tickets

Bbabsal ranks exploration targets from a national airborne geophysical dataset before committing drilling capital, an approach recognised by selection as a BHP Xplor 2026 finalist with technical input from BHP. Exploration is underway and no mineral resource has been declared, and an investor should treat any exploration company claiming otherwise at this stage with suspicion.

One integrated value chain

The structure

From the ground to finished metal

Bbabsal is the public brand of Bbabsal Mines Ltd, registered in Zambia, and Bbabsal Industries Inc, registered in Ohio. The design is a single value chain: discovery on the Copperbelt, processing in Michigan, finished rod, wire and oxygen free copper for the industries that will compete hardest for them, the grid, transport, data centres and defence.

The honesty discipline

Nothing is yet in production. Feedstock, offtake and capital structure for the processing plant are under discussion and are reported as discussions. Bbabsal publishes its method and its reasoning, and does not publish promises.

What a conversation looks like

The ask

Patient capital, stated plainly

The capital has to be patient enough to outlast a permitting queue. If that describes your mandate, the materials are ready: write to info@bbabsalmines.com and see Investors, Governance and Research.
