Delivering on our strategy Full year ended 30 June 2024

Disclaimer The information in this presentation is current as at 27 August 2024. It is in summary form and is not necessarily complete. It should be read together with the BHP Results for the year ended 30 June 2024. Forward-looking statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include all statements other than statements of historical or present facts, including: statements regarding: trends in commodity prices and currency exchange rates; demand for commodities; global market conditions; reserves and resources estimates; development and production forecasts; guidance; expectations, plans, strategies and objectives of management; climate scenarios; approval of projects and consummation of transactions; closure, divestment, acquisition or integration of certain assets, operations or facilities (including associated costs or benefits); anticipated production or construction commencement dates; capital costs and scheduling; operating costs, and availability of materials and skilled employees; anticipated productive lives of projects, mines and facilities; the availability, implementation and adoption of new technologies, including artificial intelligence; provisions and contingent liabilities; and tax, legal and other regulatory developments. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of terminology, including, but not limited to, ‘aim’, ‘ambition’, ‘anticipate’, ‘aspiration’, ‘believe’, ‘commit’, ‘continue’, ‘could’, ‘estimate’, ‘expect’, ‘forecast’, ‘goal’, ‘guidance’, ‘intend’, ‘likely’, ‘may’, ‘milestone’, ‘must’, ‘need’, ‘objective’, ‘outlook’, ‘pathway’ ‘plan’, ‘project’, ‘schedule’, ‘seek’, ‘should’, ‘strategy’, ‘target’, ‘trend’, ‘will’, ‘would’ or similar words. These statements discuss future expectations or performance or provide other forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations and reflect judgements, assumptions, estimates and other information available as at the date of this presentation. These statements do not represent guarantees or predictions of future financial or operational 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. For example, our future revenues from our assets, projects or mines described in this presentation will be based, in part, on the market price of the commodities produced, which may vary significantly from current levels or those reflected in our reserves and resources estimates. 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 our future operations and performance, including the actual construction or production commencement dates, revenues, costs or production output and anticipated lives of assets, mines or facilities include our ability to profitably produce and deliver the products extracted to applicable markets; the impact of economic and geopolitical factors, including foreign currency exchange rates on the market prices of the commodities we produce and competition in the markets in which we operate; 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 and royalties or implementation of trade or export restrictions; changes in environmental and other regulations; political or geopolitical uncertainty; labour unrest; weather, climate variability or other manifestations of climate change; and other factors identified in the risk factors discussed in section 8.1 of the Operating and Financial Review (OFR) in the BHP Annual Report 2024 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 data Unless expressly stated otherwise: variance analysis relates to the relative performance of BHP and/or its operations during the year ended 30 June 2024 compared with the year ended 30 June 2023; total operations refers to the combination of continuing and discontinued operations; continuing operations refers to data presented excluding Petroleum from FY21 onwards; references to Underlying EBITDA margin exclude third party trading activities; data from subsidiaries are shown on a 100% basis and data from equity accounted investments and other operations is presented, with the exception of net operating assets, reflecting BHP’s share; medium-term refers to a five-year horizon, unless otherwise noted. Throughout this presentation, production volumes and financials for the operations from BHP’s acquisition of OZ Minerals Limited (OZL) during FY23 are for the period of 1 May to 30 June 2023, whilst the acquisition completion date was 2 May 2023. Unless expressly stated otherwise, for information and data in this presentation related to BHP’s social value or sustainability position or performance: former OZL former OZL operations that form part of BHP’s Copper South Australia asset and the West Musgrave Project are included for FY24 but excluded for prior financial years; former OZL Brazil assets are excluded; and all such information and data excludes BHP’s interest in non-operated assets. Data in relation to the Daunia and Blackwater mines is shown for the period up to completion on 2 April 2024, unless expressly stated otherwise. Some of the land and tenements related to the Daunia and Blackwater mines are pending transfer following completion, however given that the assets are no longer under BMA’s control or operated for BMA’s benefit (except for periods prior to completion or where specifically stated) data related to the land and tenements has been excluded from this presentation. Due to the inherent uncertainty and limitations in measuring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under the calculation methodologies used in the preparation of such data, all GHG emissions data or references to GHG emissions (including ratios or percentages) in this presentation are estimates. Emissions calculation and reporting methodologies may change or be progressively refined over time resulting in the need to restate previously reported data. There may also be differences in the manner that third parties calculate or report GHG emissions 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, refer to the BHP GHG Emissions Calculation Methodology 2024, available at bhp.com. Numbers presented may not add up precisely to the totals provided due to rounding. All footnote content (except in the Annexures) is contained on slide 23. Non-IFRS information We use various Non-IFRS information to reflect our underlying performance. For further information, the reconciliation of non-IFRS financial information to our statutory measures, reasons for usefulness and calculation methodology, please refer to section 10 ‘Non-IFRS financial information’ in the BHP Annual Report 2024. 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 BHP 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. 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 information. This presentation should not be relied upon as a recommendation or forecast by BHP. No financial or investment advice – South Africa BHP does not provide any financial or investment ‘advice’ as that term is defined in the South African Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act, 37 of 2002, and we strongly recommend that you seek professional advice. BHP and its subsidiaries In this presentation, the terms ‘BHP’, the ‘Company, the ‘Group’, ‘BHP Group’, ‘our business’, ‘organisation’, ‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’ and ourselves’ refer to BHP Group Limited and, except where the context otherwise requires, our subsidiaries. Refer to Note 30 ‘Subsidiaries’ of the Financial Statements in the BHP Annual Report 2024 for a list of our significant subsidiaries. Those terms do not include non-operated assets. This presentation covers BHP’s functions and assets (including those under exploration, projects in development or execution phases, and sites and operations that are closed or in the closure phase) that have been wholly owned and operated by BHP or that have been owned as a joint venture1 operated by BHP (referred to in this presentation as ‘operated assets’ or ‘operations’) from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024 unless otherwise stated. BHP also holds interests in assets that are owned as a joint venture but not operated by BHP (referred to in this presentation as ‘non-operated joint ventures’ or ‘non-operated assets’). Notwithstanding that this presentation may include production, financial and other information from non-operated assets, non-operated assets are not included in the BHP Group and, as a result, statements regarding our operations, assets and values apply only to our operated assets unless stated otherwise. 1. References in this presentation to a ‘joint venture’ are used for convenience to collectively describe assets that are not wholly owned by BHP. Such references are not intended to characterise the legal relationship between the owners of the asset. Financial results 27 August 2024

Footnotes 1. Slide 4: BHP Underlying EBITDA margin (excluding third party products). Peer data compiled from publicly available information (e.g. company reports). Peers include: Anglo American, Glencore (exc. Marketing), Rio Tinto, Vale. 2. Slide 4: See slide 12 demonstrating consistent net operating cash flows between FY10 and FY24. 3. Slide 4: Chilean copper refers to Escondida and Pampa Norte, excluding exploration. For further information on Chilean copper growth pathways refer to slides 19 and 27. 4. Slide 5: At the midpoint of total copper production guidance for FY25 of 1,845 – 2,045 kt. 5. Slide 5: The successful integration of Prominent Hill and Carrapateena has resulted in us exceeding the annualised synergies planned for FY24 at the time of the OZL acquisition. 6. Slide 5: See slides 19 and 27 for further information on Chilean growth pathways. 7. Slide 7: Our operational GHG emissions are the Scopes 1 and 2 emissions from our operated assets. Baseline year data and performance data have been adjusted for divestment of our interest in BMC (completed on 3 May 2022), divestment of our Petroleum business (merger with Woodside completed on 1 June 2022), BMA’s divestment of the Blackwater and Daunia mines (completed on 2 April 2024), our acquisition of OZ Minerals (completed on 2 May 2023) and for methodology changes (use of (IPCC Assessment Report 5 (AR5) Global Warming Potentials and the transition to a facility-specific GHG emission calculation methodology for fugitives at Caval Ridge and Saraji South). This provides the data most relevant to assessing progress against our operational GHG emissions medium-term target and differs from annual total operational GHG emissions inventory (unadjusted for acquisitions, divestments and methodology changes). 8. Slide 7: Nature-positive management practices refer to an area under stewardship that has a formal management plan that includes conservation, restoration or regenerative practices. ‘Land and water we steward’ excludes areas we hold under greenfield exploration licences (or equivalent tenements), which are outside the area of influence of our existing mine operations. The increase in area under nature-positive management practices in FY24 compared to FY23 is due to: the inclusion of areas under nature-positive management practice at the former OZL operation Carrapateena and the West Musgrave project, not included in our FY23 reporting; an additional regulatory conservation area at one of BMA’s assets in FY24; and BMA’s divestment of the Blackwater and Daunia mines on 2 April 2024, resulting in these areas, including some areas reported in FY23 as under nature-positive management practices, being excluded from the land and water we steward. 9. Slide 7: Based on a ‘point in time’ snapshot of employees as at the end of the relevant reporting period. 10. Slide 7: Total economic contribution includes contribution to suppliers, wages and benefits for employees, dividends, taxes, royalties and voluntary social investment. For more information refer to the BHP Economic Contribution Report 2024. 11. Slide 7: For further information refer to BHP’s Responsible Minerals Program Report. 12. Slide 9: Adjusted effective tax rate and Adjusted effective tax rate including royalties: excludes the influence of exchange rate movements and exceptional items. 13. Slide 9: Dividend per share refers to cash dividends. Payout ratio on Underlying attributable profit. 14. Slide 9: For further information refer to slide 33 and Financial Statements note 3 ‘Exceptional items’. 15.

FY24 data includes former OZL (except Brazil) and Blackwater and Daunia mines until 2 April 2024 except where specified otherwise. FY23 data has not been adjusted and restated, except where specified otherwise. 2. Combined employee and contractor fatalities and frequency per 1 million hours worked. FY24 HPI frequency (HPIF) includes former OZL (except Brazil). FY24 HPIF excluding former OZL (with the exception of Exploration) is 0.10. 3. FY23 High Potential Injury (HPI) Frequency restated from (previously reported) 0.18 to 0.17 following a recalculation of exposure hours 4. Our operational GHG emissions are the Scopes 1 and 2 emissions from our operated assets. Baseline year data and performance data have been adjusted for divestment of our interest in BMC (completed on 3 May 2022), divestment of our Petroleum business (merger with Woodside completed on 1 June 2022), BMA’s divestment of the Blackwater and Daunia mines (completed on 2 April 2024), our acquisition of OZ Minerals (completed on 2 May 2023) and for methodology changes (use of (IPCC Assessment Report 5 (AR5) Global Warming Potentials and the transition to a facility-specific GHG emission calculation methodology for fugitives at Caval Ridge and Saraji South). This provides the data most relevant to assessing progress against our operational GHG emissions medium-term target and differs from annual total operational GHG emissions inventory (unadjusted for acquisitions, divestments and methodology changes). 5. FY23 performance data has been restated to reflect the acquisition, divestment and methodology adjustments described in footnote 4. 6. We have revised the language used in our medium-term goal for steelmaking to provide greater clarity and to reflect the range of steelmaking process routes that now form part of our strategy. This is due to technology advances as well as the evolution of our strategy. For more information, refer to the BHP Climate Transition Action Plan 2024, available at bhp.com/climate. 7. CY08 was selected as the baseline year for this goal to align with the base year for the International Maritime Organization’s CY30 GHG emissions intensity goal and its corresponding reasoning and strategy. Baseline year data and performance data have been adjusted to only include voyages associated with the transportation of commodities currently in BHP’s portfolio due to the data availability challenges of adjusting by asset or operation for CY08 and subsequent year data. GHG emissions intensity calculations currently include the transportation of copper, iron ore, metallurgical coal, energy coal, molybdenum, uranium and nickel. Baseline year data and performance data have also been adjusted for a methodology change to use maritime transport emission factors from EU Regulation 2023/1805, after The British Standards Institution EN 16258 standard (the source of the emission factors we previously used) was withdrawn in CY23. 8. Based on a ‘point in time’ snapshot of employees as at the end of the relevant reporting period. 9. We define gender balance as a minimum 40% women and 40% men in line with the definitions used by entities such as the International Labour Organization. 10. Indigenous employee participation for Australia is at Minerals Australia operations; for Chile is at Minerals Americas operations in Chile; and for Canada is at the Jansen Potash project and operations in Canada. 11. Nature-positive management practices refer to an area under stewardship that has a formal management plan that includes conservation, restoration or regenerative practices. ‘Land and water we steward’ excludes areas we hold under greenfield exploration licenses (or equivalent tenements), which are outside the area of influence of our existing mine operations. While some of the land related to the Daunia and Blackwater mines is pending transfer following BMA’s divestment of these mines on 2 April 2024, these areas are no longer under BMA’s control or operated for BMA’s benefit so have been excluded from the areas of land and water we stewarded at 30 June 2024. 30% will be calculated based on the areas of land and water that we steward at the end of FY30. 12. The 1.6% value for FY23 is a restatement of our previously reported 1.3%. This restatement is primarily due to ~1.5 m hectares of greenfield exploration licenses, which are located outside the area of influence of our existing mine operations, being incorrectly assigned to the “the land and water we steward” component of the Healthy environment goal calculation in FY23.

Copper Mineral Resources Competent Person Statement
The information in this slide relates to Copper Mineral Resources as at 30 June 2024. Mineral Resources are inclusive of Ore Reserves and is based on information compiled by Marcelo Cortes as Competent Person (compiler) for all declared Mineral Resources. The information in this presentation that relates to the FY2024 Mineral Resources reported by the Company in compliance with the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, 2012’ (‘The JORC Code 2012 Edition’) in the 2024 BHP Annual Report. Report is available to view on www.bhp.com.
M. Cortes is current Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (MAusIMM) and he is full-time employee of BHP. M. Cortes has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code). M. Cortes owns shares in BHP and is entitled to participate in employee share holding plans. M. Cortes consents to the inclusion in the presentation of the matters based on their information in the form 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 information has been rounded, hence small differences may be present in the totals. Total contained copper metal is presented in the table below as kilotonnes (kt). Total Cu Metal presented is at equity basis. No metallurgical recovery has been applied to the calculation of contained copper metal. Mineral Resources classification is applied based on mineralisation type, geological understanding and an assessment of reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction.
