December 05 2025: BHP and Rio Tinto welcome first Caterpillar battery-electric haul trucks to the Pilbara

Australia's first Cat® 793 XE Early Learner battery-electric haul trucks have arrived at BHP's Jimblebar iron ore mine in the Pilbara, marking the start of on-site testing, in collaboration with Rio Tinto, of Caterpillar's battery-electric heavy haulage technology in the region that powers the nation's economy.

The two Early Learner trucks, delivered through an industry-first collaboration between BHP, Rio Tinto and Caterpillar represent a major step toward a more sustainable future in mining, designed to deliver zero exhaust emissions while maintaining productivity and performance.

Once safely commissioned, the trials will begin to test the viability of battery-electric technology as an alternative to diesel usage in large-scale iron ore mining operations. The trials will help inform the development of technology, processes, infrastructure and people required to support lower greenhouse gas emissions machines and mine sites of the future.

Decarbonisation of Pilbara iron ore operations will rely on technology advancements and breakthroughs in research and development, which is why BHP and Rio Tinto are working closely with Caterpillar, supported by WesTrac, to accelerate development and transition their fleets as soon as commercially and operationally viable.

Following the joint trial, BHP and Rio Tinto will independently determine progress towards scaled trials within their respective operational environments.

Tim Day, Western Australia Iron Ore Asset President, said:

"Powering up our first battery-electric haul trucks in the Pilbara is an important step forward on the mining industry's road to decarbonisation.

"Replacing diesel isn't just about changing energy sources, it's about reimagining how we operate and creating the technologies, infrastructure and supply chains to transform mining operations.

October 09 2025: BHP renews support for STARS with three-year, $525K commitment

On October 3 at STARS' Saskatoon base in Saskatchewan, the air ambulance charity and BHP Canada announced a significant, three-year funding commitment totaling CAD$525,000.

BHP made its first donation to STARS in 2013, shortly after the Saskatoon base opened in 2012. Since then, BHP has been a valued partner, contributing approximately $6.5 million to STARS' life-saving operations.

"At BHP, safety is more than a value-it's a shared responsibility with the communities we live and work in," said Karina Gistelinck, Asset President Potash, BHP Canada. "Our renewed commitment to STARS reflects that responsibility and our deep appreciation for the life-saving care STARS provides across Western Canada. Knowing that STARS is there for our employees at Jansen and for families in remote and rural communities gives us confidence and pride in this partnership. We're honoured to continue supporting their vital mission."

"We are proud to continue our partnership with BHP and grateful for industry leaders like them who consistently invest in the well-being of our communities," said Dr. John Froh, President and CEO, STARS. "Strong community-minded organizations like BHP allow us to expand our reach, strengthen our operations and most importantly, ensure the health and safety of all."

BHP has played an instrumental role in supporting STARS since its operations began in Saskatchewan. In addition to their most recent donation, BHP also serve as the presenting sponsor of the Critical Care On The Air Saskatchewan Radiothon.

Last year, STARS flew 921 missions in Saskatchewan. Of those, 486 were from the Saskatoon base. These missions would not have been possible without the support of valued allies like BHP.

October 01 2025: BHP investing to boost Olympic Dam operations

BHP is investing over A$840 million in a series of growth-enabling projects at Olympic Dam, to strengthen the foundations of underground mining productivity and continue building its world-class copper province in the far north of South Australia.

The investment is funding several key projects:

An underground access tunnel (known as a decline) into the Southern Mine Area, providing access to a new section of the resource.

A new backfill system to deliver paste fill via underground pipes to new areas of the mine.

Expansion of ore pass capacity, streamlining ore handling and reducing haulage distances, supported by new locomotives and an extended underground electric rail network.

Installation of a new oxygen plant to improve smelter performance and support increased copper processing capability.

Together, these projects and those underway elsewhere across Copper SA will improve efficiency and support future growth options of South Australia's copper province, reinforcing the state's role as a globally significant supplier.

The Southern Mine Area decline will improve access to the underground mine and streamline the transportation of materials and equipment. The project is expected to create nearly 200 construction jobs throughout the project development.

A new backfill delivery system will improve how mined areas are stabilised. The system will deliver cement paste fill directly through an underground pipe network, allowing access to previously inaccessible ore sections.

Olympic Dam is expanding its underground electric rail network from 4.85 kilometres to more than 6 kilometres, supported by 6 new locomotives. The ore pass capacity project will streamline materials handling in the Southern Mine Area, reducing truck haulage and improving safety and efficiency.

The new oxygen plant will support the smelter's debottlenecking program, increasing copper concentrate smelting rates from 80 to 85 tonnes per hour.

September 24 2025: BHP powers ahead with third renewable electricity deal for Copper SA

BHP has entered into its third and largest renewable electricity supply arrangement for Copper SA, taking another step forward in its operational decarbonisation and unlocking significant new investment in renewable generation in the state.

Under this baseload electricity arrangement, 100 megawatts (MW) of renewable electricity will be supplied to power BHP's Copper SA province, including the Olympic Dam mine, smelter and refinery as well as the Carrapateena and Prominent Hill operations.

It will be supported by output from the first 300 MW of Neoen's Goyder North Wind Farm, firmed by their new Goyder Battery with a minimum capacity of 200 MW / 800 MWh, and Neoen's in-house energy management expertise. Both assets are currently under development near Burra in South Australia's mid-north, with BHP as the primary customer.

Neoen expects these two assets to create up to 550 construction jobs and 20 permanent jobs, supporting regional employment while contributing to the state's energy transition.

This marks BHP's third renewable electricity supply arrangement in South Australia in the past four years and its second renewable electricity supply arrangement with Neoen.

This commitment aligns with BHP's medium-term target to reduce operational greenhouse gas emissions (Scopes 1 and 2 emissions from its operated assets) by at least 30% by FY2030 from an adjusted FY2020 baseline and contributes to our long-term goal to achieve net zero operational greenhouse gas emissions by CY2050.

Combined with the existing Neoen renewable electricity supply arrangement that successfully commenced in July 2025, this new electricity supply arrangement is expected to meet approximately 70% of Copper SA's electricity needs from renewable electricity in FY2030, based on current forecast demand. This new arrangement is part of BHP's ongoing efforts to induce investment in renewable electricity supply that has seen it support five major projects in South Australia:

Neoen's Goyder North Wind Farm and Goyder Battery

Neoen's Goyder South Stage 1 Wind Farm and Blyth Battery

Iberdrola's Port Augusta Renewable Energy Park

Anna Wiley, Asset President, Copper SA, BHP

"BHP's Copper SA operations are taking another step forward in our decarbonisation journey with its third renewable power arrangement.

September 23 2025: BHP Xplor Opens Applications for 2026 Cohort, Offering Equity-Free Funding and Global Support

BHP Xplor, the nine-month accelerator program aimed at transforming the discovery of critical minerals, has officially opened applications for the 2026 cohort.

Following the success of the 2023, 2024, and 2025 cohorts, BHP Xplor invites early-stage explorers to apply for its next intake. The program is looking for ambitious teams and individuals dedicated to uncovering new sources of critical minerals essential for a sustainable future.

The BHP Xplor program is designed to accelerate participants' exploration opportunities while fostering long-term connections with BHP. Participants benefit from up to USD $500,000 in equity-free funding, expert mentorship, and access to BHP's global network of suppliers and service providers.

Tim O'Connor, BHP's Group Exploration Officer, said: "Xplor has quickly become a recognised pathway for early-stage explorers who want to scale faster and think more boldly. The program provides not only capital, but access to the knowledge, networks, and technical depth that can fundamentally change the trajectory of a company. As the world's demand for critical minerals intensifies, building strong partnerships between majors and juniors will be essential. Xplor is about more than accelerating exploration projects, it's about shaping a new way of working together to unlock the resources needed for the future."

Additionally, the 2026 cohort will join BHP Xplor's growing alumni network, now spanning 21 companies, to continue sharing insights and learnings as they progress on their journey.

Elena Clarici, CEO of Electrum Discovery and current BHP Xplor participant, said: "Being part of BHP Xplor has been invaluable. The program has given us access to expertise and resources that have helped sharpen our strategy and move our projects forward more quickly.

September 15 2025: Creating a more dynamic and resilient economy - BHP response to interim report

BHP welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the Productivity Commission's interim report, "Creating a more dynamic and resilient economy".

As one of Australia's largest companies, we are proud of the contribution we make every day to the national economy. In the financial year 2025, this included:

$10.5 billion in Australian taxes, royalties and other payments to federal, state and local governments1; $6.2 billion in wages and benefits to 46,000 employees and contractors across Australia;

$20.3 billion in payments to our suppliers, including more than $2.6 billion to local footprint suppliers. For those that identify as Indigenous businesses in Australia we contributed $779 million;

$102 million in community contributions;

$8.9 billion in returns to shareholders and investors, helping support the retirement of millions of Australians whose superannuation funds are invested in BHP.

Over the last 10 years, BHP has paid more than $103 billion to Australian governments, making us one of the nation's largest taxpayers. Our average effective tax and royalty rate over the last ten years has been 45.3 per cent. We report these contributions openly and transparently.

As we position our business for the future, BHP is investing in growth across a number of our Australian assets. Over the last 10 years, we have invested approximately $47 billion in capital expenditure across our minerals assets and we have projects that if sanctioned could see us invest near double this amount over the next decade.

In South Australia, we have ambitions to grow our copper operations into a globally significant mine-to-metal copper province, while in the Pilbara we have approved the commissioning of a sixth car dumper and related infrastructure for a total investment of more than $1.3 billion.

August 23 2025: BHP : Chairman's Statement

Chair's review

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to provide BHP's Annual Report for FY2025.

It is an honour and a privilege to be your new Chair. Your Board and I are excited about the future of this great company.

I want to acknowledge the contribution of my predecessor, Ken MacKenzie, who led the Board as Chair for seven years. I thank Ken for his outstanding service to the Board and BHP during his tenure. Ken leaves a lasting legacy at BHP.

In times of global uncertainty, stability and resilience matter. BHP has stood for both for 140 years.

What we do matters. The world needs more of the materials we produce to develop, decarbonise and digitalise.

BHP has a substantial role to play in producing the vital materials the world needs and in contributing to the success of the global economy.

We remain well positioned to meet global demand for the commodities we produce in order to create long-term value for our shareholders, local communities, customers, suppliers and partners.

Rewarding shareholders

BHP has a simple, clear strategy that is resilient amid any operating environment. Executing this strategy has allowed us to perform well through mining and economic cycles.

The company performed strongly in FY2025, generating significant cash flow. Healthy cash returns are important for shareholders, including the hundreds of thousands of retail shareholders who rely on BHP to support their income and retirement. Over the past five years, BHP has delivered more than US$50 billion In cash dividends to our shareholders.

Our Capital Allocation Framework (CAF) promotes discipline in all our capital decisions and prioritises capital for safety and maintenance, balance sheet strength and a minimum dividend payout ratio of 50 per cent of underlying attributable profit at every reporting period.

For FY2025, your Board determined dividends totalling 110 US cents a share. This represents a total distribution to shareholders of US$5.6 billion, or 55 per cent of the underlying attributable profit for FY2025.

Your cx)mpany is well placed to meet the challenges of our rapidly changing world.

It is the combination of our outstanding people, world-class assets and execution excellence that creates long-term value for our shareholders and for the communities where we live."

Building for the future

Our performance allows us to plan for and invest in value adding growth projects.

BHP has a strong growth pipeline of organic and greenfield projects In copper, iron ore and potash.

Our growth strategy generates greater exposure to commodities that the world needs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and as the population grows, continues to urbanise and seeks higher living standards.

Continuing to evolve

As we have for the past 140 years, we continued to position BHP's portfolio to align to the global trends shaping our future. We have reshaped BHP's portfolio to increase our exposure to future-facing commodities and higher-quality steelmaking materials.

Our iron ore business is a critical part of our future and we have extended our lead as the lowest-cost major iron ore producer globally.

We have achieved a world-leading position in copper, which is key to renewable energy, electric vehicles and data centres.

We are developing a position in potash that will contribute to food security and more sustainable land use. We have focused our steelmaking coal portfolio on higher-quality coals preferred by our customers to produce steel for cities and infrastructure for decarbonisation.

Today, we have a portfolio and options for growth that leave us well positioned to provide the commodities the world will need more of in the decades to come.

Looking ahead

Your company is well placed to meet the challenges of our rapidly changing world.

It is the combination of our outstanding people, world-class assets and execution excellence that creates long-term value for our shareholders and for the communities where we live. In FY2025, we showed that the consistent execution of our clear and simple strategy delivers results.

BHP is an outstanding business in great shape and I am confident we can continue to create value for you, our partners and many other stakeholders in the year ahead and for decades to come.

August 20 2025: BHP backs next generation of Goldfields jobs with $5 million investment

Apprenticeships and traineeships in Western Australia's Goldfields region will receive a significant boost, thanks to a $5 million contribution from BHP to the WA Department of Training and Workforce Development (DTWD).

The funding will support 35 new apprentices and trainees through the Group Training Organisation (GTO) Wage Subsidy Program.

Launched in 2022, the program helps small to medium-sized businesses by making it easier and more affordable to take on apprentices and trainees through GTOs.

BHP Vice President Western Australian Nickel, Annabelle Blom said:

"When we support local training and provide opportunities, we're not just helping individuals - we're building capability and strengthening the whole community."

"By backing the next generation of local tradespeople through this program, we can tackle skilled labour shortages and help ensure the industry has the right skills it needs to grow and thrive."

"It's also about keeping talent in the region, by giving people local to the Goldfields the chance to learn, work and grow their careers close to home."

Minister for Skills and TAFE, Amber-Jade Sanderson, said:

"Ongoing investment in apprenticeships and traineeships is vital to ensure we have a pipeline of workers to meet the workforce demand created by our growing economy.

"The Group Training Organisation Wage Subsidy Program assists employers to take on apprentices and trainees, with the Cook Government investing $134.6 million in the scheme since 2022.

"BHP's contribution to the Department of Training and Workforce Development is a welcome investment that will boost the availability of skilled workers for the Goldfields."

The funding will cover the full duration of a four-year apprenticeship and will be administered independently by DTWD in partnership with participating GTOs.

July 18 2025: BHP Operational Review for the year ended 30 June 2025

BHP Chief Executive Officer, Mike Henry:

BHP delivered record iron ore and copper production, which demonstrates the strength and resilience of our business and underpins our ability to deliver growth and returns to shareholders amid global volatility and uncertainty.

BHP's WA iron ore operations set multiple records, including for full year production. South Flank exceeded name plate capacity production in its first full year of operation after being delivered on time and on budget in FY24. The efficiency of our infrastructure hubs continues to strengthen performance with rail, port and technology investments delivering tangible production outcomes. Our steelmaking coal business increased production by 5% with improved truck productivity offsetting heavy wet weather and geotechnical challenges at Broadmeadow.

BHP produced more than 2 million tonnes of copper across the group - a record level of production in a commodity critical to urbanisation, digitisation and electrification. In Chile, Escondida achieved its highest production in 17 years, and Spence delivered record production. In Australia, Copper SA finished the year strongly with copper production records in June and for the final three months of the year.

In Canada, Jansen Stage 1 continues to progress. Today, we are providing an update on the cost and schedule estimates for Stage 1. We estimate capital expenditure to be in the range of US$7.0 bn to US$7.4 bn (including contingencies), versus our original estimate of US$5.7 bn, and first production to revert to the original schedule of mid-CY27. Our Group capex guidance remains ~US$11 bn for each of FY26 and FY27.

Commodity demand globally has remained resilient so far in 2025. That resilience largely reflects China's ongoing ability to grow its overall export base despite a significant decline in exports to the USA, and its ability to deliver robust domestic demand despite the dislocation in the property sector.
