Aberdeen Minerals is a privately held, UK registered business investing in mineral exploration for bedrock deposits of nickel, copper and cobalt in North East Scotland.

Global demand for these metals is forecast to rise in coming years as economies transition away from fossil fuel based energy and transportation systems towards mass adoption of metal-intensive technologies such as renewables and electric vehicles.

The potential to develop domestic resources of these raw materials is an opportunity to create more resilient and responsible manufacturing supply chains, and reduce Scotland and the UK's current total dependence on overseas production.

We are committed to engagement with our host communities in a way that is meaningful and proportionate to our current and planned exploration activities.

We have partnered with landowners in Aberdeenshire to explore for minerals through exclusive access and exploration agreements covering over 8,000 hectares (80 square kilometres).

The geology of North East Scotland is prospective for the types of mineral deposit we seek, being comparable to productive global nickel belts, yet the region is remarkably under-explored using modern methods.

Our focus is centred on the Arthrath Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project, and its surrounding district. Our drilling and geophysics programmes show evidence for critical mineral discoveries with the potential to increase resilience in the country's manufacturing supply chains.
