Welcome to shareholders here in Brisbane, and those joining us on the webcast. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Let me start today&#146;s meeting by acknowledging the Traditional Owners
of the land on which we gather, the Turrbal People, and pay my respect to all elders past and present and extend that respect to other Aboriginal people joining us today. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Song-woman and Law-woman of the Turrbal People, Maroochy Barambah, will conduct the Welcome to Country. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Thank you Maroochy. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Can I point out that Maroochy is the first
Aboriginal Dramatic Arts graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne. A renowned opera singer, she was the first Australian to perform at the United Nations in New York in honour of the International Year for the World&#146;s
Indigenous Peoples. Thank you again. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Queensland </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Queensland is important to BHP Billiton, not just because many Queenslanders have shares in the company through their super funds and 85,000 own them directly,
but also because we are proud to be an important part of the development of the state. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Today we are the leading resource sector employer in Queensland.
We directly employ around 5,300 people here and help to employ many more. Last year, our operations bought A$3.4 billion worth of goods and services from over 1500 small and medium sized businesses across the state. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In 2016 we also paid over A$450 million in royalty payments to the Queensland Government. That is part of the A$3.4 billion we paid in taxes, royalties and
other payments in Australia. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have also supported various community projects. For example we are collaborating with The Queensland Government, The
Great Barrier Reef Foundation, Traditional Owners and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The objective is to protect and restore Raine
Island&#146;s critical habitat. Raine Island is on the remote northern tip of the Great Barrier Reef. It is the breeding ground for one of the world&#146;s largest populations of green turtles. </P>

past year will be remembered as one of the most challenging periods in the long history of our Company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We contended&nbsp;with a range of difficult
issues. We faced up to those issues, while also taking decisive actions to make our Company safer and stronger for the long term. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">However, despite the
actions taken on safety, last month a colleague died at work at the Escondida operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This is heart breaking. On behalf of the Board, I extend my
deepest sympathy to the family and friends of the young man who died. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We achieve nothing if we don&#146;t achieve it safely. The health and safety of our
teams must always be our first and most important priority. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Today I would like to discuss Samarco, Company performance, and Board renewal. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Shortly before we met last year, there was a dam failure at our joint venture company, Samarco, in Brazil. We remember the people who died, and we are deeply
sorry for all those impacted by this tragedy. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Immediately after the dam failure, we took a series of actions with Samarco and our joint-venture partner
Vale, and made a number of commitments on behalf of BHP Billiton.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Within 24 hours, the people who had lost their homes were housed in temporary
accommodation. Within two weeks, children were back in school. Over the past year, there have been more than 500 community meetings to ensure those affected are consulted on the recovery work.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We committed that we would support the response effort and work to make things right. We will continue to do so. There is a detailed description of the
Samarco response effort in the Annual Report and Andrew will speak further about it in a moment. But let me make a few key points. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In March of this year,
Samarco, BHP Billiton Brasil and Vale entered into a Framework Agreement with the Brazilian Federal Government and other authorities. The Agreement provides for the establishment of 41 programmes to compensate the communities and restore the
environment affected by the dam failure. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We committed that we would commission an external investigation into the causes of the dam failure. We did so.
The investigation was led by an expert panel of four leading geotechnical specialists. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We committed that we would publish the findings of that external
investigation. We have done so. The findings were released in August. They are available on our website. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We committed that we would discuss those
findings with other resource companies, so that the whole sector could improve safety, and reduce the risk associated with tailings facilities. We have done so. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, consistent with our determination to learn from this, we conducted a governance review of our non-operated minerals joint ventures. Following
that review, we have centralised responsibilities for those joint ventures under Danny Malchuk, President of our Minerals Americas business. We are also developing a new global standard for those minerals assets that are operated by a separate joint
venture company. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We committed&nbsp;that we would bring forward the next review of all tailings dams in the BHP Billiton portfolio.
That review confirmed that our dams are stable. However, as part of our determination to learn from this tragedy, we have made further improvements. We have established a dam management function, which brings additional expertise in house. We are
also reviewing other measures, including new technology, to further improve safety. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are creating a new global tailings dam standard for our
operations. It will draw on international leading practice for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of our dams and also increase the use of independent reviews. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have changed the benchmark we use for dam safety reviews. The ongoing safety review of all of our dams will be carried out in accordance with the Canadian
Dam Association processes - the most rigorous in the industry. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Since the Plc AGM in October, the Brazilian Federal Prosecutors Office has filed criminal
charges in Brazil against Samarco, BHP Billiton Brasil and Vale along with certain employees and former employees. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP Billiton Brasil rejects outright
the charges against the company and the affected individuals. We will defend the charges against the company and fully support the affected individuals in their defence of the charges against them. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A lot has been done in Brazil over the course of the year. But many challenges remain. Some of them will take years to resolve fully. There will be setbacks
along the way. But let me be very clear. We remain committed to doing the right thing. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Company Performance </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Let me now turn to the performance of the Company. It was a challenging year for BHP Billiton and the resources sector. But we demonstrated both the resilience
of our portfolio and our focus on productivity. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Andrew and his team lowered unit cash costs across the Company by 16 per cent and increased capital
efficiency, generating free cash flow of US$3.4 billion. This was in the face of weaker commodity prices which had a negative impact of about US$11 billion. Despite this, our underlying EBITDA margin was a healthy 41 per cent. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Against a backdrop of political and economic uncertainty and volatility, your Board and management have been working to make BHP Billiton more resilient and
to optimise shareholder value through the cycle. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Central to that resilience is a strong balance sheet. BHP Billiton is the only company in our sector
with an A rating from the three main rating agencies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">So as I said last year, protecting the balance sheet comes first. This ensures the Company remains
financially strong and secure. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">With that in mind, and recognising the challenging environment we face, the Board undertook a review of our dividend
policy. We did so, understanding how important the dividend is to shareholders.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At the half year results, in February of this year, we announced a new
dividend policy. Making that change was a difficult decision. The new policy is based on a payout ratio which provides for at least 50% of underlying attributable profit to be paid as dividends, with potential additional amounts payable in
accordance with our capital allocation framework. </P>

<p Style='page-break-before:always'>
<HR  SIZE="3" style="COLOR:#999999" WIDTH="100%" ALIGN="CENTER">

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We remain&nbsp;strongly committed to returning cash to our shareholders, and every six months the Board will
assess the possibility of paying dividends above the 50 per cent payout level. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This year&#146;s dividend was 39.9 cents a share. Of that, just under 16
cents per share was the amount delivered by the new payout ratio. The additional 24 cents per share was paid in accordance with the capital allocation framework. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The actions to improve productivity, lower unit costs and revise the dividend policy all strengthen the Company and give us greater flexibility to pursue the
opportunities we have in our portfolio. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Board Renewal </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Now I would like to turn to Board renewal which is an ongoing process. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">So let me introduce our newest Director, Ken MacKenzie, who joined the Board in September. From 2005 until 2015, Ken was Managing Director and Chief Executive
Officer of Amcor. Amcor is a global leader in packaging, with 29,000 employees and operations in 40 countries. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Ken is a great addition to your Board. He
has extensive global business experience and a proven track record, having led a successful company, in a challenging sector, for a decade. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Welcome Ken.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I would also like to recognise John Schubert, who will retire at the end of this meeting. During his 16 years on the Board, John has made an exceptional
contribution to your Company. We will miss his wise counsel and judgement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">John, you have been a great Board member and a great advocate for
shareholders. I know shareholders will join me in wishing John all the best for the future. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I talked at the beginning about the past year being one of
the most challenging periods in our history. But at BHP Billiton, because of the nature of our business, we think in terms of decades. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The last decade
has been extraordinary. Over that 10 year period, BHP Billiton has been reshaped into a simpler, more productive, more sustainable Company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are well
positioned to respond to change: changes in global commodity markets, changes in technology and innovation, and changes in society and its expectations. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have a world class safety and productivity culture: a world class management team, a world class board with the appropriate mix of skills and experience,
and a world class portfolio with some of the best natural resource assets. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, reshaping our portfolio by divesting over US$7 billion of assets
at attractive prices, and successfully demerging South32, has allowed us to focus on our 12 core operated assets. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We also developed a clear and
transparent capital allocation framework which will optimise shareholder value through the cycle. We have a strong balance sheet, strong margins and strong cashflow. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During that same 10 year period, shareholders and the countries in which we operate have benefitted. We have paid about US$70 billion through buybacks and
dividends. We have also&nbsp;paid US$85 billion in taxes, royalties and other payments to governments around the world. </P>

<p Style='page-break-before:always'>
<HR  SIZE="3" style="COLOR:#999999" WIDTH="100%" ALIGN="CENTER">

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In Australia alone we have paid taxes, royalties and other payments of US$58 billion which has helped fund
essential services across the nation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Having said that, a company of this scale, size, and complexity doesn&#146;t always get everything right and there
is always more to do. When we do get it wrong, we work hard to make it right. But on balance the building blocks are in place to stand BHP Billiton in good stead for decades to come. We have strengthened the Company for the long term, and whatever
the future brings we will face it from a position of strength and stability. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At the plc AGM last month, I announced my decision not to seek re-election
at next year&#146;s AGM. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I had intended to announce my retirement from the Board last year. However, the Board believed it was important that I continue
on as Chairman to provide stability as we responded to Samarco and other matters. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The basic structure of the Samarco response is now in place. The
findings of the expert panel are public and the compensation and remediation programs have begun. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">With BHP Billiton in robust shape, the timing for me to
step down feels right. It has been an enormous privilege and honour to be a part of this iconic company for the last 10 years. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP Billiton is a global
leader, built by the hard work of many generations of people over many decades. People who, regardless of where they work in the world, have a unified sense of purpose and shared values. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Summary </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In closing, I thank my fellow board members, all
employees, and of course our shareholders for their continued commitment to BHP Billiton. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I will now hand over to Andrew to discuss the overall
performance of the business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Andrew Mackenzie, Chief Executive Officer, BHP Billiton </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Good morning. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I too would like to pay my respects to the
Traditional Owners of the land on which we meet&#151;the Turrbal People&#151;and pay my respects to Elders past and present and to any other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander who have joined us here today.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It is great to be back in Brisbane and to welcome you to this Annual General Meeting.&nbsp;Our Queensland Coal operation, through the BHP Billiton Mitsubishi
Alliance and the BHP Billiton Mitsui Coal assets in the Bowen Basin, is a vital source of metallurgical coal for the world.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The proximity of our assets to
our Asian customers means we are well-placed to supply the seaborne market and this delivers significant value for our shareholders.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It also makes
Queensland a vital part of our business and earlier this year we reinforced our commitment to this State when we became the anchor tenant at our new Brisbane office at 480 Queen Street.</P>

<p Style='page-break-before:always'>
<HR  SIZE="3" style="COLOR:#999999" WIDTH="100%" ALIGN="CENTER">

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Thank you&nbsp;to everyone who came along to the Shareholder Information session this morning. There will be a
further opportunity to meet with members of my management team who are here today over refreshments at the end of today&#146;s meeting.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As Jac has noted,
FY2016 was very difficult for both BHP Billiton and the resources industry. However, we stayed true to Our Charter values, we stuck to our plans and we have made solid progress. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are now in a good position for the year ahead. We will build on our momentum and strong culture of safety and productivity to create significant future
value for you, our Shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Before I address safety, our financial performance and plans for the future, I will reflect on the tragic events that
occurred at Samarco a little over a year ago.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Samarco </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Samarco dam failure weighs heavily on all of us. The terrible events that led to the loss of 19 lives and caused significant community and environmental
impacts have left a deep scar on our Company.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">However, I assure you that we will meet our obligations. We will do the right thing and we are committed to
the response. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I travelled to Brazil in November immediately after the dam failure and visited again in June this year. During my most recent trip I met
with local communities and spent time with some of the most affected families. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I am pleased to report that many were in recently restored homes and
businesses. The activity on the ground is extensive. I was inspired by the hard work and dedication that I saw from more than 3,000 people to rebuild infrastructure, provide community and social services and prepare for the wet season.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Jac has also spoken about the Expert Panel Investigation and the changes to further strengthen the management of all our dams following our own reviews. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As CEO I am determined that the experience and knowledge gained will be used to improve the safety of tailings dams through greater use of the world&#146;s
best science and engineering. We will use this to lift the performance of our own operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We continue to work with Vale and Samarco on plans for
restart. Samarco directly employs several thousand people in well-paid jobs, so restart is important for the health of the local economy and Brazil&#146;s for that matter.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">But it has to make economic sense, and have a practical set of approvals in place, and we continue to work through these processes.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Jac has discussed the criminal charges filed by the Brazilian Federal Prosecutors Office against a number of current and former BHP Billiton employees. I want
to restate our rejection of those charges and our commitment to defend the Company and each of the individuals affected.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will also continue to do
whatever it takes to look after our people who are in Brazil, to deliver on our commitments, as they do the right thing for the communities and the environment affected by this terrible disaster. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Many are Brazilian but some are from our other operations and away from their families. I am determined to make sure they remain safe.</P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I will now turn to our safety performance at our operated sites in FY2016.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Health and safety </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Last year, we recorded no fatalities
at our operated sites and we reduced high-potential-injury events by 20 per cent. Our total recordable injury frequency was 4.3 per million hours worked.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We achieve nothing if we don&#146;t achieve it safely&#151;and last month we experienced a tragic reminder of why health and safety must come first in
everything we do.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It was with deep sadness that we learnt of the death of Rudy Ortiz Martinez, a contractor at our Escondida mine in Chile.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We extend our deepest condolences to his family, colleagues and friends.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Following this tragic event, we have renewed our efforts to help our people understand our risks, and the critical controls that need to be in place, to
protect the health and safety of everyone who enters any of our sites.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Here in Queensland, that includes active engagement with industry, government and
the health system to prevent further cases of Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis (or CWP). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We were deeply disappointed when the first case of CWP in decades was
recently diagnosed. Since then we have had three confirmed cases of CWP in our workforce.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Fortunately, in all three of these cases we are advised that the
disease has been detected early, which means the health impacts can be minimised if we prevent further respirable dust exposure. But that does not diminish in any way the significant concern being felt by our employees and their loved ones. They
have our care and concern.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It is unacceptable that the health-check system, which we thought protected our people from the respiratory hazards of
underground work, hasn&#146;t delivered. This is a very serious issue that requires a collective response. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Last Friday, we appeared before the Coal
Workers Pneumoconiosis Parliamentary Select Committee and reinforced our commitment to work cooperatively with industry, the health system and the Queensland Government. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At our own operations, we have offered independent health reviews and new chest x-rays to all our current underground employees. We have encouraged our open
cut workers to seek reviews if they have concerns about their historic dust exposure. We have also made these services available to former workers so they can access medical assessments free of charge. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Queensland&#146;s coal industry has been a vital part of the State&#146;s economic and social fabric for more than 50 years. We want Queensland&#146;s coal
industry to thrive, but it must do so safely.</P>

FY2016 with all projects that required capital receiving it.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In FY2017 we will make each dollar go further through investment in low-cost, high-return

Model makes us a more agile company with a simplified structure that frees asset leaders to focus even more on what matters most&#151;safety and productivity. This has been made possible by a simplified portfolio after the successful demerger of
South32. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Strategy and capital allocation have been centralised under our Chief Financial Officer, Peter Beaven. This will drive even greater capital

like to acknowledge two very important people to BHP Billiton.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Last month after an outstanding 40 years with the Company, Dean Dalla Valle announced his
intention to leave BHP Billiton at the end of March 2017. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Dean has played a significant role in the history of this Company over the last four decades. I
am enormously grateful for the personal leadership and guidance he has provided me as a member of my leadership team. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We wish him well with the next
stage of his career. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Chairman has also announced that he will not seek re-election at next year&#146;s AGM.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I know there will be an opportunity in the coming months to thank Jac formally for his outstanding contribution to BHP Billiton. But Jac, on behalf of
everyone who works at BHP Billiton and me personally&#151;thank you!</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Thank you for your wise counsel, which has been priceless as it guided me towards
better decisions and leadership. As a fledgling CEO, I could not have had a better Chairman. We have had to handle some pretty tough challenges together that has made us stronger and our bond even more so.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Your amazing&nbsp;contribution to BHP Billiton will live on and add positive shape to the Company, its myriad of stakeholders and to me personally, for many,
many years to come.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Thank you. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Thank you also to the
Board, my management team and above all to you&#151;our Shareholders&#151;for your commitment to our company, our purpose and our strategy. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We can look
forward to the future together with confidence. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>The Chairman then conducted the formal items of business. </I></P>
