standards in developing countries), by operating them exceptionally well, by maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation and through being an industry leader in sustainability and the creation of social value. </P>

interests in Cerrej&oacute;n and BHP Mitsui Coal. At the same time, BHP has invested in value creating projects, including a copper concentrator at Spence and the new South Flank iron ore mine, both of which were recently brought into production, on
time and on budget. BHP also continues to evaluate and invest in options for future development and value creation in copper, nickel and potash through exploration, early-stage investment and development and innovation, as well as through
acquisitions and joint ventures. BHP regularly evaluates its portfolio in line with its strategy and may acquire or invest in new assets or businesses, or dispose of existing assets of businesses, as required to position itself to meet future
trends. BHP continues to review its options for NSWEC. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP recently announced the following key decisions to further strengthen its portfolio: </P>
