Constellation Resources

What Constellation Resources does

Constellation Resources Limited (ASX:CR1) is a Perth-based, ASX-listed mineral exploration and development company operating a portfolio of three flagship projects across Western Australia targeting copper, gold, nickel, and natural hydrogen. The company's project portfolio comprises: (1) the Edmund Collier, Yerrida and Ashburton Projects, covering approximately 87,000km2 of conditionally accepted natural hydrogen exploration applications positioned as a first-mover play in Western Australia's emerging white hydrogen sector, with proximity to existing Dampier-to-Perth and Goldfields gas pipelines for potential low-capital commercialization; (2) the Ularring Copper Gold Project, acquired in October 2024, featuring 24km of strike along a targeted shear corridor with minimal historical exploration; and (3) the Orpheus Project in the Fraser Range, spanning 443km2 across six tenements prospective for nickel-copper sulfide mineralisation, operated under a 70/30 joint venture with Enterprise Metals Limited (ASX:ENT) where Constellation sole-funds exploration through bankable feasibility study.

The company employs standard mineral exploration methodologies including soil gas surveys for natural hydrogen detection, geological surveying, drilling, and analysis techniques. In 2024, Constellation partnered with CSIRO (Australia's national science agency) to support its hydrogen exploration methodology. The company is governed by an experienced Board whose members were previously associated with Papillon Resources (A$668M acquisition by B2 Gold) and Mantra Resources (A$1.02B valuation).

Constellation is pre-revenue and generates no income from product sales. Value creation occurs through exploration success leading to resource discovery and subsequent monetization via joint ventures, farm-ins, project sales, or production agreements. Capital is raised through equity issuances on the ASX, most recently via a 1-for-3 pro-rata share issue at A$0.12 per share. The company's go-to-market is investor-relations-led, with ASX announcements as the primary communication channel supplemented by social media and the company website. Primary customer segments are institutional and retail investors seeking resource exposure, with Enterprise Metals as the sole operational joint venture partner and major mining companies as prospective acquirers upon successful exploration outcomes.

Core offering

Constellation Resources is a mineral exploration and development company that identifies, acquires, and explores prospective tenements in Western Australia targeting copper, gold, nickel, and natural (white) hydrogen resources. The company operates three distinct exploration projects—the Edmund Collier, Yerrida and Ashburton Projects for natural hydrogen, the Ularring Copper Gold Project, and the Orpheus Project for nickel-copper sulfide—and advances them through joint venture partnerships, farm-ins, and eventual project sales or offtake agreements with mining companies.

Product overview

Constellation Resources is a mineral exploration and development company operating as a single unified business focused on discovering and developing critical resources in Western Australia. The company's portfolio consists of three distinct exploration projects: the Edmund Collier, Yerrida and Ashburton Projects targeting natural hydrogen (covering 87,000km2), the Ularring Copper Gold Project exploring for copper and gold, and the Orpheus Project targeting nickel-copper sulfide mineralisation. These projects collectively position the company across four strategic commodity areas: copper, gold, nickel, and natural hydrogen, each playing a role in the global energy transition.

Products and services

• Edmund Collier, Yerrida and Ashburton Projects Natural (white) hydrogen exploration project portfolio covering approximately 87,000 km² of conditionally accepted basin-scale applications across the Edmund Collier, Yerrida, and Ashburton basins in Western Australia. Targets natural hydrogen prospects near existing pipeline infrastructure for low-capital commercialization. Aimed at investors and potential joint venture/development partners seeking exposure to the emerging white hydrogen sector.
• Ularring Copper Gold Project Copper-gold exploration project in Western Australia offering opportunities to explore higher-grade Cu-Au zones at Centre Forest along a 24 km shear corridor with minimal historical exploration. Aimed at investors and joint venture/development partners.
• Orpheus Project Nickel-copper sulfide exploration project covering approximately 443 km² across six tenements in the Fraser Range province of Western Australia. Constellation holds a 70% joint venture interest (with Enterprise Metals Limited holding 30%) in three exploration licences (E28/2403, E63/1281, E63/1282) and one application (E63/1695), and 100% interest in two additional licences. Constellation is responsible for sole funding all joint venture activities up to completion of a bankable feasibility study.
