What We Do
ABC Commodities Ltd is a mineral exploration company focused on identifying, acquiring, and advancing critical mineral projects in Tier 1 Exploration Jurisdictions. Incorporated in February 2024, the Company holds three exploration licences targeting tungsten, copper, tin, gold, and zinc — commodities recognised by the Australian Government as critical to the clean energy transition and national economic security.
Our approach combines rigorous geological targeting with disciplined capital allocation. We apply modern geochemical, geophysical, and remote sensing techniques to historically underexplored terranes, building on a strong foundation of publicly available data and legacy exploration work. Current activity is centred on the Crystal Ridge, Marks Hill, and Woodlawn East projects, with initial drilling planned at Crystal Ridge and Marks Hill as the Company’s priority target.
