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.

Aspiration includes Inferred Resources from Oak Dam and Exploration studies at OD Deeps. 6. Slide 7: BHP analysis based on WAIO C1 reported unit costs compared to publicly available unit costs reported by major competitors, including Fortescue and Rio Tinto. There may be differences in the manner that third parties calculate or report unit costs compared to BHP, which means that third-party data may not be comparable to our data. WAIO C1 unit costs excludes royalties (government and third-party royalties), net inventory movements, depletion of production stripping, exploration expenses, marketing purchases, demurrage, exchange rate gains/losses and other income. 7. Slide 7: Source: Company reports. Escondida costs calendarised. 8. Slide 8: Source: BHP analysis based on publicly available sources, including Company announcements, WoodMac, Bloomberg, Baltic and Mysteel. 9. Slide 8: Source: Woodmac Q4 2024 dataset. Cost curve includes seaborne supply and Chinese domestic iron ore. Chart is truncated to US$120/dmt. Cost curve on a value-adjusted all-in costs basis: the net of C1 cash costs, sustaining capital, royalties and levies, and value-in-use adjustments (discounts or premiums received) associated with the quality of iron ore products shipped/sold. The illustrated costs and volumes are individually shown at an asset level, except for the four major iron ore producers that are aggregated to company level. 10. Slide 8: BHP internal analysis based on WAIO C1 reported unit costs compared to publicly available unit costs reported by major competitors, including Fortescue, Rio Tinto and Vale. There may be differences in the manner that third parties calculate or report unit costs compared to BHP, which means that third-party data may not be comparable to our data. WAIO C1 unit costs excludes royalties (government and third party royalties), net inventory movements, depletion of production stripping, exploration expenses, marketing purchases, demurrage, exchange rate gains/losses and other income. 11. Slide 9: PHCC defined as per Woodmac quality grades, including PLV and PMV coals that are typically priced of the premium low-vol (PLV) index (or equivalent) published by price reporting agencies. Competitor sales are sourced from Woodmac and adjusted to reflect latest ownership changes. Sales share by operators (not basis equity). 12. Slide 10, 14: BHP copper production data calculated on a reported basis for the 2024 calendar year (on a reported basis as reported in BHP’s Operational Reviews released in CY24). BHP production calendarised. Competitor reported copper production data for the 2024 financial year compiled from publicly available information (company reports). Competitors include: Anglo American, Antofagasta, Codelco, Freeport, Glencore, Rio Tinto, Southern Copper, Teck. 13. Slide 10: Largest copper mineral resources on a contained metal basis, equity share. Source BHP data: BHP Annual Report 2024. 14. Slide 10: BHP data is calendarised. 15. Slide 11: Medium term guidance is from FY27 to FY31 and was previously from FY27 for “a period”. 16. Slide 11: Based on the extension of the Los Colorados concentrator beyond FY29, and operational improvements across mining, throughput and recovery. 17. Slide 12: Size of bubble is contained copper. Undeveloped projects based on Woodmac data and include Pebble, Resolution, El Pachon, La Granja, KSM Project, El Arco, Llurimagua, NuevaUnion, Tampakan Project, Cascabel, Twin Metals, Vizcachitas, Taca Taca, Baimskaya. 18. Slide 12: Vicuna Mineral Resources are based on information prepared by Vicuña Corp, and published by Lundin Mining in a press release dated 5 May 2025. BHP is currently conducting a separate review of the Vicuña estimates in connection with our FY25 Annual Report. 19. Slide 12: Copper equivalent based on Woodmac Q4 2024 dataset for undeveloped projects with Vicuña Mineral Resources based on information prepared by Vicuña Corp, and published by Lundin Mining in a press release dated 5 May 2025. The calculation for Vicuña uses metal prices of US$4.43/lb copper, US$2,185/oz gold and US$28.80/oz silver and recoveries of 78% for copper, 62% for gold and 65% for silver. 20. Slide 13: Could potentially support greater than 60 years of operation based on reserves and exclusive resources and subject to full conversion of resources into reserves and assuming a nominal production rate. Reserves and exclusive resources obtained from FY23 WAIO Technical Report Summary (TRS). 21. Slide 13: See HY25 Results Announcement for further information. Based on FY24 Mineral Reserves published in Form 20-F (SEC). 22. Slide 13: Could potentially support 55 to 57 years of operation based on reserves and exclusive resources and subject to full conversion of resources into reserves and assuming a nominal production rate. Reserves and exclusive resources obtained from FY24 Jansen TRS. 23. Slide 13: See BHP FY24 Annual Report for further information. Based on FY24 Mineral Reserves published in Form 20-F (SEC). 24. Slide 13: Jansen has the potential for two additional expansions to reach an ultimate production capacity of 16 to 17 Mtpa (subject to studies and approvals). 25. Slide 13: WAIO FCF conversion is calculated as FCF (EBITDA – Capex) divided by EBITDA. Refer to WAIO’s low cost position on slide 8. 26. Slide 13: Jansen FCF conversion is calculated at a long term consensus price of US$301/t based on Argus and CRU data and represents the average during the first 10 years of operations (FY27-FY36). Calculated as expected FCF (EBITDA – Capex) divided by EBITDA. Jansen Stage 1 and 2 is forecast to be first quartile on the cost curve when it reaches full production. Underlying EBITDA margins for Jansen Stage 1 and Stage 2 of approximately 65% to 70% are expected due to the forecast low-cost position of US$105 to US$120/t. Operational expenditure includes costs relating to the Jansen mine and port and rail costs, excludes carbon tax, as is based on Real 1 July 2023. 27. Slide 14: BHP have delivered an underlying EBITDA profit margin of over 50 per cent for eight-consecutive years ahead of our competitors. Source BHP data: BHP Annual Report 2024.
