[2] | In 2025, our net cash outflow in relation to the Simandou iron ore project was US$486 million (30 June 2024:US$331 million). This includes cash outflows of US$822 million (30 June 2024: US$742 million) for purchases of property, plant and equipment, and US$331 million (30 June 2024: nil) as net funding of equity accounted units for the funding of shared infrastructure in the WCS Rail and Port entities. We received related cash inflows of US$667 million (30 June 2024: US$411 million) from Chalco Iron Ore Holdings Ltd (CIOH) for cash calls by SimFer Jersey Limited.
[3] | (c)In 2025, we received net proceeds of US$116 million (30 June 2024: US$422 million) from our sales and purchases of investments within a separately managed portfolio of fixed income instruments. Purchases and sales of these securities are reported on a net cash flow basis within “Sales of financial assets” or “Purchases of financial assets” depending on the overall net position at each reporting date.
[4] | On 6 March 2025, we drew down on our US$7 billion bridge loan facility to fund the acquisition of Arcadium Lithium plc. Refer to note 7 for further details. This was subsequently repaid on 19 March 2025 following our US$9 billion bond issuance of fixed and floating rate SEC-registered debt securities on 12 March 2025.
