Finding the future
Fortescue was founded on the belief that opportunity exists beyond the obvious.
Today, exploration remains at the heart of how we grow - extending mine life, strengthening our operations and uncovering the resources needed to power the industries of the future.
The energy transition doesn't happen on ambition alone. It needs copper for electrification, critical minerals for batteries, and the resources that underpin transmission, storage and clean industry.

Exploration in Gabon
In northeast Gabon, we’re advancing exploration through geological assessment and technical studies to inform future development pathways.
Located in the Belinga range, the high-grade hematite deposit has the potential to support local development and supply global markets.

Resources for what comes next
The energy transition will require more than renewable energy. It will require the resources that make it possible.
Through projects like the Cañariaco Copper Project and our broader exploration portfolio, we're exploring opportunities in critical minerals that support future industry demand.
