2025 Annual General Meeting. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Let me first <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">thank&nbsp;Nah-wheat</FONT> Professor Carolyn Briggs for the warm Welcome to
Country. I would like to acknowledge that these are the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri people who have a deep connection to the lands and waterways of Melbourne. We extend our respect to Wurundjeri Elders past and present. And welcome to our
shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are delighted to be together in person in Melbourne today. We are very proud to be headquartered in Melbourne and to have a long
connection with this great city. Our last Annual General Meeting in Melbourne was in 2017. It&#8217;s good to be back. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It is an honour and a privilege to
Chair my first BHP Group Limited AGM. Your Board and I are excited about the future of this great company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I also want to acknowledge the contribution of
my predecessor, Ken MacKenzie, who led the Board as Chair for eight years and retired on the 31<SUP STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">st</SUP> of March 2025. I thank Ken for his outstanding service to the Board and BHP during his tenure. Ken
leaves a lasting positive legacy at BHP. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Ladies and gentlemen, as I have said it is a pleasure to be here in Melbourne, the home of BHP&#8217;s global
headquarters and my adopted hometown for the past 6 years. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Today&#8217;s AGM is an important opportunity for our shareholders to ask questions about
BHP&#8217;s business and our performance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I met with a number of our retail shareholders in London a few weeks ago and we had a great discussion about
BHP&#8217;s strategy, commodity focus, operational performance and growth plans. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I hope we can discuss similar topics today in a very open way. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>140 years </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It is an enormous honour to address you as
BHP&#8217;s Chair for the first time, in this, our 140<SUP STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">th</SUP> year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It&#8217;s amazing to think that it
all began with a rough outcrop of rock amid a huge expanse of flat, dry land in the outback of Australia. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">And that it was discovered by a small group of
farmhands and pastoralists, armed with little more than a geology guidebook and a hunch there might be some value under their feet. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A company chasing opportunities on a scale hard to fathom. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">And
a company prepared to move fast to make it happen. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Investing in two <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">30-ton</FONT> smelters from Nevada in the US to

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">And working to secure the mine&#8217;s water supply in the arid Australian outback. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Through all of this, you can sense the relentless drive to do better, and to be better. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It&#8217;s a spirit I think Blackwood would recognise is alive and well at BHP today. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It&#8217;s a high performance culture &#8211; and a big part of that is the effort applied to making the workplace safer every day. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">That is a responsibility we embrace. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">And just as you, as
shareholders, rightly consider what the best use of your money is and where it will generate the most value for you, so must we. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have a strong and

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This is a company that has refined its strategy and it knows its purpose. </P>

for every dollar we invest. That drives sensible investment decisions, and ensures every project is focused on generating returns. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The decisions we make
can define this company for decades. We make big calls when we have to, like we have for 140 years. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Competitiveness </B></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Increasingly, nations around the world are competing for global resource investment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This is about economic benefits, but it&#8217;s also about national security and resilient supply chains. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Like other investors, we&#8217;re always keen to see industry and government pulling together in the same direction. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">So nations must also be on the front foot. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unlocking approvals

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Accelerating automation and AI. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Building and supporting a
globally competitive workforce. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">And, of course, stable fiscal settings to underpin productivity and reward investment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The nations that get this mix right will benefit the most. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Being globally competitive on these measures is clearly critical to attract investment from companies like BHP, but it&#8217;s also critical for nations to
raise living standards for future generations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Social value </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Part of BHP&#8217;s competitive advantage is how we work with others to create social value. It drives better business decisions and better business outcomes.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We&#8217;re a big company, which means an outsized ability to create mutual benefit. That can take many forms. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Increasing certainty for local suppliers who invest in and expand their business, in turn strengthening our supply chain. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Partnering with communities to protect the natural environments we work in; or being positive contributors in the towns our workforce and their families live

governments. And it helps to build community trust that is fundamental to the success of resources projects. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Ultimately this approach allows BHP to stay

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We did this because our experience has shown us that a more inclusive, collaborative culture contributes to a safer, more productive and more reliable BHP.

<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>FY25 highlights </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our operational and financial results
continue to prove the value of this strategy. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We had record production this year at Western Australian Iron Ore, which has been the lowest cost major
iron ore producer in the world for a sixth straight year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We had record overall copper production, which we&#8217;ve now grown by 28&nbsp;per cent over
the past three years. That growth is the largest absolute copper growth over that timeframe of any major miner globally. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our operational performance
underpinned another strong financial year. We returned 20.6&nbsp;per cent on capital employed, with a very healthy margin of 53&nbsp;per cent on our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation&#8212;or EBITDA. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All told, we contributed almost 47&nbsp;billion US dollars to the economies we operate in, through wages, taxes, royalties, community contributions and
payments to suppliers and shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">About 10&nbsp;billion of that was in taxes and royalties, which help to fund schools, hospitals and roads. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">That&#8217;s an effective tax rate of about 45&nbsp;per cent. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This year&#8217;s 5.6&nbsp;billion US dollars in dividends means that, over the past 10 years, BHP has returned over 100&nbsp;billion US dollars to
shareholders.<SUP STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">3</SUP> </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>A strong pipeline of growth options </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our plans seek to continue those healthy shareholder returns. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have strong growth options across our existing operations and in new places. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We&#8217;ve also reshaped our portfolio to include a much greater exposure to copper. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This year, 45&nbsp;per cent of our EBITDA came from copper &#8211; more than double where it was five years ago. And while we&#8217;re already the largest
producer of copper in the world, we&#8217;re pursuing more growth. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have options to grow at our world-class copper basins in South Australia and Chile.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We also have our Vicu&ntilde;a joint venture, which holds some exceptional copper deposits in Argentina. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">And we own 45&nbsp;per cent of Resolution Copper in Arizona, a project which could supply around 25&nbsp;per cent of the copper needs of the United States.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Of course, we&#8217;re also entering a new commodity in potash, and construction continues at our Jansen potash project in Canada. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For Stage 1, we&#8217;ve announced an updated cost estimate and have said that our forecast for first production will revert to the original schedule of <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mid-2027.</FONT> </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Jansen is going to be another great BHP business, and it will deliver value to shareholders for a very long
time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">With the suite of potash and copper growth options at our disposal, we can deliberately and strategically choose how and where we grow to create
value for shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Globally competitive </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">And as
Ross mentioned, those projects compete against each other for capital. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are in uncertain times. But amid all that uncertainty, there are growing
opportunities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Leaders around the world increasingly understand mining&#8217;s value when it comes to economic development and its importance to national
security. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">And more countries are sharpening their policy settings to attract mining capital and projects. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This is good news for BHP because we have attractive options in many jurisdictions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For example, in South America, the Argentinian government has established what&#8217;s known as the RIGI scheme, which incentivises large investments. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In North America, both the US and Canadian governments have established initiatives to speed up permitting of nation building projects that underpin
productivity and prosperity. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There are some encouraging signs in the discussion around productivity and investment attraction here in Australia as well.

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In particular, we welcome the strong signals from the Australian Government in respect of proposed reforms to
environmental laws and permitting. We also appreciate the support we see for mining investment from the Western Australian and South Australian governments. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">But the pace of reform is moving faster in other countries. Australia can&#8217;t afford to be flat footed in the race for global investment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Every aspect of Australia&#8217;s competitiveness &#8211; from labour productivity to the time and cost of construction to royalties and taxes &#8211; must be
examined against competing investment destinations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Energy policy needs to be a focus, with electricity costs in Australia two or more times higher than
Canada, Indonesia and other countries, and 50 to 100&nbsp;per cent higher than the US. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A clear-eyed view of how Australia wants to compete in this
shifting global landscape is the starting point for being in the contest at all </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Well positioned now and into the future </B></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">And we have a global workforce whose character and capability delivers exceptional results time and again. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This allows us to deliver industry-leading margins, high returns and funds for our future growth. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">That&#8217;s a unique combination that underpins our strength, consistency and resilience through the cycle.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP stands apart as the world&#8217;s leading diversified mining company. </P>
