BHP has released its Operational Review for the nine months ended 31 March 2025.
BHP Chief Executive Officer, Mike Henry: "BHP’s performance in FY25 to date demonstrates the resilience of our business, with our copper and iron ore operations achieving record nine-month production amid challenging operating and market conditions. Group copper production rose 10%, underpinned by a 20% increase in output at Escondida and strong performances at Spence and Copper SA. In our WA iron ore operations, we continue to demonstrate supply chain excellence from pit to port and delivered record tonnes from the Central Pilbara hub. At BMA in Queensland, in the highest rainfall wet season in more than a decade, steelmaking coal volumes rose by 5% following a strong performance across the open cut mines.
BHP recently achieved 40% female representation across our global employee base, a 23% point increase since 2016. The efforts that have underpinned this have made BHP a safer, more productive, and better performing business. We have a distinctive competitive advantage in responding to labour and skills shortages across our sector.
Despite the limited direct impact of tariffs on BHP, the implication of slower economic growth and a fragmented trading environment could be more significant. China's ability to shift toward a consumption-led economy and for trade flows to adapt to the new environment will be key to sustaining the global outlook.
In the face of global volatility and policy uncertainty, BHP is poised to benefit from a flight to quality with tier one assets, industry-leading margins and high-return organic growth opportunities that will underpin value and returns through the cycle."
