BMEx is developing a long-term European zinc discovery platform

 

BMEx is a European zinc exploration company that has acquired two assets that show potential for Tier 1 scale.

 

We bring together some of the industry’s most successful ore body finders, with a vision to discover the next generation of
zinc deposits.

Zinc is one of the most critical metals to European decarbonisation and green technologies, with multiple uses across solar and wind power generation, metal alloys, medical, agriculture, construction and other industries. 

Investment Highlights

Tier 1 Zinc Discovery Platform

  • Strategy focused on unearthing Tier 1 zinc deposits near major global zinc smelters.

  • Leveraging AI and global networks for ongoing acquisitions.

  • Backed by a strategic alliance between ZincCo and Mine Discovery Fund, boasting proven expertise in Tier 1 zinc discoveries.

Strategic Asset Location

  • Ireland stands as Europe's 4th largest zinc producer, featuring the notable Navan Deposit (111 Mt @ 7.9% Zn & 1.9% Pb).

  • Ireland Ranked 15th Globally and 2nd in Europe in the Fraser Institute’s Investment Attractiveness Index

Cornerstone Assets: Midlands and Waterford Projects

  • Four promising walk-up drill targets within established zinc mineralized systems, showcasing significant scale potential.

  • Midlands Project: Intersected Navan Group host rocks, with a historic intercept of 10m @ 2.5% Zinc, pointing towards a yet-to-be-explored EM target.

  • Waterford Project: Recognized as a 9km world-class zinc anomaly in soils, initial drills revealed expansive zones of zinc mineralization, evidenced by 48m @ 1.5% zinc and 12.6m at 2.5% zinc indicators.

Zinc: The Essential Element

  • Automotive

    A vital component in giga steel lightweight alloys, zinc enhances the durability and efficiency of automotive industry products.

  • Construction

    Integral to construction, zinc is a primary component in galvanized rebar, significantly reducing corrosion in concrete reinforcements, thereby hinting at potential market growth, as noted by the IZA in 2018.

  • Energy Storage

    Zinc is at the forefront of innovations in renewable energy storage, spearheading developments in rechargeable zinc-air batteries. Notably, Nantenergy systems have already been established in over 200 global communities.

  • Health & Agriculture

    Combatting zinc deficiency is central to reducing disease risks in children and optimizing crop yields globally. Efforts are underway internationally to amplify zinc's role in fertilizers and dietary supplements, promising improved health and agriculture prospects.

  • Solar & Wind Power

    In the renewable energy sector, zinc is pivotal in enhancing the durability of solar panels and wind turbines through protective coatings. Its role is underlined by the significant quantities used: a 10MWh offshore wind turbine utilizes 4 tonnes of zinc, and a solar park capable of supplying 110,000 homes demands 240 tonnes of zinc.
