The Past Year: Press Releases Press Releases and Corporate Wire Press Release article 1 of 6, 1108 words Aug 24, 2026: BHP : Chairman's Statement Chair's review Dear Shareholders, I am pleased to provide the BHP Annual Report 2026. We delivered strong operational and financial results in FY2026 and continued to position your business to create value for you into the future. Our achievements were overshadowed by the recent loss of our contractor colleague at BHP Mitsubishi Alliance's (BMA's) Peal Downs mine in Queensland on 24 July 2026. Our thoughts remain with their family and loved ones. We are determined to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries at BHP. A Tier 1 portfolio for today and the future BHP has large, long-life and low-cost world-class assets in attractive commodities. As our performance in FY2026 has shown, we operate them exceptionally well. This is a great position to be in - and a great position to grow from. We l now you have made an active choice to invest in our company. We steward that investment carefully. Just as you rightly consider what the best use of your money is, and where it will generate the most value for you, so does your Board. BHP has a compelling pipeline of growth options ahead of us in potash, copper and iron ore and a rigorous Capital Allocation Framework (CAP) to guide our investment decisions. Under that Framework, each growth option competes with every dollar we invest. That drives disciplined investment decisions and ensures every project is focused on generating returns. The CAF also helps manage our balance sheet and provides for a minimum dividend payout ratio of 50 per cent of underlying attributable profit at every reporting period. Your Board determined dividends totalling 172 US cents a share for FY2026, an increase of 62 US cents on FY2025. This represents a total distribution to shareholders of US$8.7 billion, or 66 per cent of underlying attributable profit. CEO transition The year saw the retirement of CEO Mike Henry and the appointment of Brandon Craig as your new CEO, from 1 July 2026. Mike's six-and-a-half-year tenure leading BHP will be remembered as among our brightest. Thanks to his leadership, our operational performance has been second to none among our peers. Mike led with discipline, dedication and integrity, repositioning our portfolio towards future-facing commodities and embedding operational excellence and the BHP Operating System (BOS) into the way we work. We wish Mike every success in the future and thank him for making BHP a better company. Brandon was appointed CEO by your Board after a thorough selection process. He brings deep experience to the role having worked across different countries and all our commodities during his 27 years at BHP, including as President Americas and Asset President of Western Australia Iron Ore (WAIO). Brandon has a clear vision on how we can accelerate performance and drive programmatic growth and I am excited for the next era under his leadership. Board renewal Our structured approach to Board renewal continues. On 1 June 2026, we welcomed Mark Vassella as a Non-executive Director. Mark has extensive experience in the global steel industry and brings a strong focus on global resource development, values-based leadership and relationships with people and community. BHP is in great shape and well placed to seize the opportunities ahead. I am confident we can continue to create value for you for many years to come." Our economic contribution We are proud to make a substantial contribution to the economies in the countries, regions and communities where we operate. This direct economic contribution totalled US$50.8 billion globally in FY2026 - an increase of around US$4 billion from the prior financial year. BHP remains one of the largest corporate taxpayers in Australia and Chile. In Australia, taxes, royalties and other payments to governments totalled US$6.6 billion (approximately A$9.7 billion). This is roughly equivalent to the Australian Government's 2026-27 transport infrastructure package, which will help fund major road, rail and freight infrastructure projects across Australia. ^In Chile, our increased copper output and higher global prices lifted our tax, royalty and other payments to US$5.5 billion - an increase of around 71 per cent from the prior financial year. This equates to about one dollar in every 17 in Chile's most recent national budget. ^Social value and sustainability A key part of our competitive advantage is our focus on working with others to create a lasting contribution to society. We increased our spend with Indigenous suppliers, reaching US$1 billion for the year, a three-fold increase in three years. Our approach is to develop multi-year partnerships that help these businesses build capability and grow. Your Board and management are determined to continue the pursuit of our climate ambitions, and we are on track to meet our FY2030 operational greenhouse gas emissions reduction target. Renewable sources provided 80 per cent of electricity at our operated assets globally in FY2026,^ with more to come in the years ahead. Beyond renewables, we are working to establish a credible pathway to safely and productively displace diesel at scale at the sites where we operate. We are running proof-of-concept trials for battery-electric haul trucks in the Pilbara right now, with a battery-electric locomotives trial also commenced. This is important work that will not only support technology development, but also build the knowledge and capability required to operate battery-electric equipment in the future. We expect our electricity demand to increase significantly as diesel-fuelled mining and rail equipment is electrified. In support of this, we have begun the critical work to develop the future power solutions we will need when the equipment is ready to roll out. Importantly, we continue to work closely with steelmaking customers on initiatives to support greenhouse gas emissions reductions in their operations as well. Entering FY2027 with confidence As we enter FY2027, the broader economic picture remains resilient despite recent commodity market volatility. We continue to see strength in the US and China, even as the global economy adjusts to evolving trade dynamics. We remain confident in the demand for our core commodities and the strength of our growth program, supported by the long-term trends shaping the world, including industrialisation, urbanisation, digitalisation, the energy transition, population growth and food security. BHP is in great shape and well placed to seize the opportunities ahead. I am confident we can continue to create value for you for many years to come. Thank you for your continued support.

WAIO comprises four main joint ventures in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. BHP holds an 85% interest in WAIO. Under the Agreement, a trust entity will be established that is 51% owned and controlled by BHP and GIP will provide US$2 billion in funding for a 49% stake. BHP will pay the entity a tariff linked to BHP's share of WAIO's inland power over a 25-year period. Under the Agreement, BHP retains full operational control of WAIO including its inland power infrastructure. The Agreement does not affect BHP's existing joint venture agreements or BHP's obligations under its agreements with the State of Western Australia or affect ownership of any WAIO assets (including the WAIO inland power infrastructure). WAIO will continue to plan and execute its long-term strategy focused on increasing iron ore production to 305 million tonnes per annum, supported by targeted investments, while retaining optionality for future growth. Net proceeds will be incorporated into and evaluated in accordance with our capital allocation framework. Completion is expected towards the end of FY2026, subject to certain regulatory approvals including Foreign Investment Review Board approval. BHP Chief Executive Officer, Mike Henry "We are pleased to partner with GIP on this arrangement that enables BHP to access capital and maintain operational and strategic control of a critical part of WAIO's infrastructure." BHP Chief Financial Officer, Vandita Pant "This arrangement is an example of BHP's disciplined approach to capital portfolio management. It strengthens our balance sheet flexibility, supports long-term value creation and enhances BHP's shareholder value." Press Release article 4 of 6, Source: Company Website, 279 words Dec 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.

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.
