Nickel Supply
• The first quartile of the 2020 CRU cash cost curve is
dominated by concentrates operations. NPI Conc HPAL FeNi
• These operations benefit from tried and tested low-cost
froth floatation processing along with revenue streams
from multiple metals as these mines are generally
polymetallic in nature.
• In 2022, the lowest cost sites are Platinum mines CRU value adjusted cash cost, including royalties 2022 Nickel Cash Price
producing nickel as by products (South Africa) alongside
some PGM rich mines in Russia (Polar) and Canada
(Glencore INO, Vale Sudbury)

Site costs by driver, 2020-2026 Consumables Costs increase can be attributed to high increase in sulphur price
Maintenance Costs

capacity in ramp up (higher costs vs. fully ramped up operation)
+2%
• The increase of NPI and Ferronickel site costs shown on global
8,000 scale is cushioned by influx of new Indonesian capacity. The
domestic ore prices is Indonesia although higher than in 2021
are not nearly as high as the import prices for Chinese or
Japanese producers. Power costs increase is in line with the coal

to generating social value; our commitments under sustainability frameworks, standards and initiatives; our intention to achieve certain sustainability-related targets, goals, milestones and metrics; trends in commodity prices and currency exchange
rates; demand for commodities; reserves and production forecasts; plans, strategies and objectives of management; climate scenarios; assumed long-term scenarios; potential global responses to climate change; the potential effect of possible future
events on the value of the BHP portfolio; approval of certain projects and consummation of certain transactions; closure or divestment of certain assets, operations or facilities (including associated costs); anticipated production or construction
commencement dates; capital costs and scheduling; operating costs and supply (including shortages) of materials and skilled employees; anticipated productive lives of projects, mines and facilities; provisions and contingent liabilities; and tax and
regulatory developments.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of terminology, including, but not limited to, ‘intend’, ‘aim’, ‘project’, ‘see’, ‘anticipate’, ‘estimate’, ‘plan’, ‘objective’, ‘believe’, ‘expect’, ‘commit’, ‘may’, ‘should’, ‘need’, ‘must’, ‘will’, ‘would’,
‘continue’, ‘annualised’, ‘forecast’, ‘guidance’, ‘outlook’, ‘prospect’, ‘target’, ‘goal’, ‘ambition’, ‘aspiration’, ‘trend’ or similar words. These statements discuss future expectations concerning the results of assets or financial conditions, or provide other
forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and reflect judgments, assumptions, estimates and other information available as at the date of this presentation and/or the date of the Group’s
planning processes or scenario analysis processes. There are inherent limitations with scenario analysis and it is difficult to predict which, if any, of the scenarios might eventuate. Scenarios do not constitute definitive outcomes for us. Scenario
analysis relies on assumptions that may or may not be, or prove to be, correct and may or may not eventuate, and scenarios may be impacted by additional factors to the assumptions disclosed.
Additionally, forward-looking statements are not guarantees or predictions of future performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, and which may cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed in the statements contained in this presentation. BHP cautions against reliance on any forward-looking statements or guidance, particularly in light of the current economic climate and the significant volatility,
uncertainty and disruption arising in connection with the Ukraine conflict and COVID-19.
For example, our future revenues from our assets, projects or mines which may be described in this presentation will be based, in part, upon the market price of the minerals or metals produced, which may vary significantly from current levels. These
variations, if materially adverse, may affect the timing or the feasibility of the development of a particular project, the expansion of certain facilities or mines, or the continuation of existing assets.
Other factors that may affect the actual construction or production commencement dates, costs or production output and anticipated lives of assets, mines or facilities include our ability to profitably produce and transport the minerals and/or metals
extracted to applicable markets; the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on the market prices of the minerals and/or metals we produce; activities of government authorities in the countries where we sell our products and in the countries where
we are exploring or developing projects, facilities or mines, including increases in taxes; changes in environmental and other regulations; the duration and severity of the Ukraine conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic and their impact on our business;
political uncertainty; labour unrest; and other factors identified in the risk factors discussed in section 9.1 of the Operating and Financial Review in the Appendix 4E and BHP’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘SEC’)
(including in Annual Reports on Form 20-F) which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Except as required by applicable regulations or by law, BHP does not undertake to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events. Past performance cannot be relied on as a guide to
future performance.
Presentation of information and data
Numbers presented may not add up precisely to the totals provided due to rounding. Due to the inherent uncertainty and limitations in measuring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and operational energy consumption under the calculation
methodologies used in the preparation of such data, all GHG emissions and operational energy consumption data or references to GHG emissions and operational energy consumption volumes (including ratios or percentages) in this presentation are
estimates. There may also be differences in the manner that third parties calculate or report GHG emissions or operational energy consumption data compared to BHP, which means that third-party data may not be comparable to our data. For
information on how we calculate our GHG emissions and operational energy consumption data, see our Methodology tab in our ESG Standards and Databook, available at bhp.com.
No offer of securities
Nothing in this presentation should be construed as either an offer or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any securities, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, in any jurisdiction, or be treated or relied upon as a recommendation or advice by BHP.
No offer of securities shall be made in the United States absent registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, such registration requirements.
Reliance on third party information
The views expressed in this presentation contain information that has been derived from publicly available sources that have not been independently verified. No representation or warranty is made as to the accuracy, completeness or reliability of the
