Growing our equity nickel production



We are increasing equity nickel with new mines and technology





We are growing Mt Keith


• We are looking to expand the Mt Keith Concentrator by

installing a 16MW SAG and modernising the flotation
circuit, pending final approvals


• Yakabindie (Goliath and Six Mile Well pits) are at full
production

the 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 BHP Annual Reports. All reports are av ailable to v iew on www.bhp.com.
R. Finch and M. Hope are current Members of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (MAusIMM) and are f ull-time employ ees of BHP. R. Finch and M. Hope hav e suf f icient experience that is relev ant to the sty le of mineralisation and ty pe of deposit under consideration
and to the activ ity which they are undertaking to qualif y as Competent Persons as def ined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code f or Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserv es (JORC Code). R. Finch and M. Hope both own shares in BHP and are
entitled to participate in employ ee share holding plans. R. Finch and M. Hope consent to the inclusion in the presentation ofthe matters based on their inf ormation in the f orm and context in which it appears.
Mineral Resources as presented are reported in 100 per cent terms. Dry tonnages are reported and all tonnage and quality inf ormation has been rounded, hence small dif f erences may be present in the totals. Total contained nickel metal is presented in the table below as kilotonnes
(kt). No metallurgical recov ery has been applied to the calculation of contained nickel metal. Mineral Resources classif ication is applied based on mineralisation ty pe, geological understanding and an assessment of reasonable prospects f or ev entual economic extraction.
