**Operational review for the quarter ended 30 September 2025** 

**Delivering operational and project excellence into a constructive commodity price environment** 

"We've made a strong start to the year, highlighted by disciplined operating performance and execution of scheduled maintenance.

Group copper production rose 4%, with record concentrator throughput at Escondida.

In iron ore, WAIO delivered another standout quarter, achieving record material mined while completing critical infrastructure upgrades ahead of schedule.

In steelmaking coal, production rose 8%, supported by strong mining rates at Broadmeadow and increased stripping at our open cut mines.

We progressed key growth and decarbonisation milestones in the quarter, including securing environmental approval for the Laguna Seca Expansion at Escondida and Copper South Australia entering into its largest renewable electricity agreement.

Both stages of the Jansen potash project in Canada are advancing, with Stage 1 reaching 73% completion and on track for production to begin in 2027, while Stage 2 is now 13% complete. The long-term demand fundamentals for potash are attractive and Jansen is expected to be one of the lowest cost producers.

Overall macro-economic signals for commodity demand remain resilient, and global growth forecasts are moving higher. While we expect some deceleration in growth in H2 CY25, in China we still expect GDP growth of ~5% for the year. In copper, major disruptions at some of our competitors' mines have tightened overall market fundamentals, benefitting our world-class portfolio of assets.

With momentum from a strong first quarter, BHP is on track to deliver on full-year guidance and we are making progress on our growth pipeline across Australia and the Americas."

| <br>**Summary**<br>| **Mike Henry,**<br>**BHP Chief Executive Officer** |
|  **Operational and project excellence** | **Portfolio** |
|  **Strong performance; maintenance executed** | **Progressing our organic growth options** |
| Copper production increased 4% driven by record concentrator throughput at Escondida. Performance at Copper SA was strong and major planned maintenance was safely executed.<br>In our steelmaking commodities, WAIO achieved record Q1 material mined and a 5% increase in lump sales, while delivering the planned rebuild of Car Dumper 3 (CD3) ~8% ahead of schedule. BMA production increased 8% enabled by strong stripping performance and improved mining rates at Broadmeadow.<br>| In September, we received approval for the Environmental Impact Declaration (DIA) for the Laguna Seca Expansion at Escondida. The DIA permit for the Escondida New Concentrator remains on track to be submitted in H2 FY26.<br>BHP welcomed state and federal ministers for a site visit to Copper SA, where we are progressing initiatives aimed at increasing growth through strengthening mining productivity as we continue building a world-class copper province.<br>|
|  **Strong balance sheet** | **Social value** |
|  **Successful capital management** | **A continued evolution as we grow** |
| During the quarter, BHP issued EUR bonds totalling EUR 1.4 bn and USD bonds totalling US$1.5 bn competitively priced across four tranches and refinanced its US$5.5 bn revolving credit facility.<br>These demonstrate disciplined execution underpinning our strong balance sheet.<br>| In September, we held an ESG Roundtable covering operational decarbonisation, Scope 3 steelmaking emissions, Indigenous partnerships, and the Doce River Basin Agreement (Samarco).<br>Copper South Australia entered into its largest renewable electricity supply agreement, taking another step forward in its operational decarbonisation journey.<br>|

| **Production**<br>**494 kt é**4%**<br>**Q1 FY25** 476 kt<br>**FY26e** 1,800 – 2,000 kt<br>**Average realised price**<br>**US$4.59/lb é**8%**<br>**Q1 FY25** US$4.24/lb | Total copper production increased 4% to 494 kt. Copper production guidance for FY26 remains unchanged at between 1,800 and 2,000 kt.<br>**Escondida** **328.9 kt** é**8% (100% basis)**<br>We are investigating an incident on 9 October where a contracting team member passed away. Our thoughts are with the team member's family. We are working closely with the relevant authorities. There have been no operational impacts as a result of the event.<br>Increased production was driven by record concentrator throughput and improved recoveries, partially offset by a lower concentrator feed grade of 0.94% (Q1 FY25: 1.00%). Cathode production was higher in line with the continued ramp-up of the Full SaL leaching project which achieved first production in Q4 FY25.<br>Production guidance for FY26 remains unchanged at between 1,150 and 1,250 kt and is expected to be weighted to the first half in line with higher concentrator feed grade. Concentrator feed grade of ~0.85% for the full year remains unchanged. |
|  | We continue to make progress on the optimised Escondida Growth Program. In September, the Antofagasta Environmental Evaluation Committee approved the DIA for the Laguna Seca Expansion, enabling early infrastructure development, while the Escondida New Concentrator DIA permit remains on track to be submitted in H2 FY26.<br>**Pampa Norte (Spence) 55.8 kt ê**7%** |
|  | Spence production decreased 7% as expected, as a result of lower cathode production, in line with a planned decline in stacked feed grade due to an increase in the volume of transitional ore processed. |
|  | Production guidance for Spence remains unchanged at between 230 and 250 kt for FY26 with production expected to increase from Q2 FY26. |
|  | **Copper South Australia 72.6 kt ê**1%** |
|  | Production was stable, driven by improved mine productivity at Olympic Dam and Prominent Hill, with strong smelter and refinery throughput, offsetting lower grade. We successfully completed planned major maintenance at Olympic Dam on the underground materials handling system, mills and the refinery, and continued the integration of HydroFloat technology at Carrapateena. |
|  | Production guidance for FY26 remains unchanged at between 310 and 340 kt, weighted to the second half. |
|  | Gold production increased 24%, supported by strong operating performance and higher grades at Olympic Dam. |
|  | **Other copper** |
|  | At Antamina, copper production decreased 7% to 34 kt. Zinc production was 86% higher at 36 kt, as a result of planned higher feed grades. FY26 copper production guidance of between 120 and 140 kt and zinc production guidance of between 90 and 110 kt remain unchanged. |
|  | Carajás produced 2.4 kt of copper and 1.8 troy koz of gold. As announced in August, the divestment of Carajás is expected to close in early CY26, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions (including regulatory approvals). |

Production guidance for FY26 remains unchanged at between 258 and 269 Mt.<br>**WAIO 62.0 Mt ê**2% \| 70.2 Mt (100% basis)**<br>Production was solid as WAIO demonstrated continued supply chain excellence with record material mined (up 9%) and strong shipments, in a quarter of significant planned maintenance.<br>The major rebuild of Car Dumper 3 at Port Hedland, which had a 4.3 Mt (100% basis) volume impact, was safely completed ~8% ahead of schedule, demonstrating disciplined execution and project delivery excellence. Progress continued on the multi-year Rail Technology Program (RTP1), with tie-in activities advancing as scheduled — supporting long-term infrastructure uplift and future logistics resilience.<br>Production guidance for FY26 remains unchanged at between 251 and 262 Mt (284 and 296 Mt on a 100% basis).<br>Sales were broadly in line with the prior year, with a 5% increase in sales of higher-value lump. We sell and ship iron ore products via different commercial distribution channels, this includes seaborne sales, and portside sales in China which have increased over recent years in line with our strategy. We will continue to optimise distribution channels to support product placement. |
|  | <br> **Samarco 2.1 Mt é**64% \| 4.1 Mt (100% basis)**<br>|

Volumes will be weighted to H2 FY26, with continued safe management of geotechnical characteristics in the current longwall panel and a longwall move at Broadmeadow scheduled in Q2 FY26. We expect to continue building raw coal inventory into CY27, to further improve operating stability. |
