About Aberdeen Minerals
Aberdeen Minerals is a privately held UK company exploring for bedrock deposits of nickel, copper and cobalt in North East Scotland. Its main focus is the Arthrath Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project in Aberdeenshire, which the company describes as containing the largest nickel deposit in the UK. Work programmes include desktop studies, airborne and ground geophysical surveys, geochemical surveys, prospecting and core drilling.
The company holds exclusive access and exploration agreements with landowners in Aberdeenshire covering over 8,000 hectares. It is funded by equity: Central Asia Metals plc (CAML) invested £3 million in 2024 and a further £0.85 million in January 2026, with warrants for a further £1.15 million. It has also received £289k in grant funding from the UK Government's Automotive Transformation Fund, which covered 70% of a feasibility study into processing minerals at Arthrath. The company has invested over £6 million in exploration to date.
Founded in 2020, the company is headquartered in London, and its team is based in Ellon, Aberdeenshire. Its board includes co-founders Patrick Murphy and Thomas Todd, and CEO Fraser Gardiner, a minerals geologist.
Product: Mineral exploration of nickel, copper and cobalt bedrock deposits in North East Scotland, including the Arthrath project.
