8 September 2008

Dear Shareholder,

Following the release of our 2008 results I thought that it was timely to send you this brief update on a number of positive developments for your company.

Strong Financial Results

You will have seen by now our outstanding results for our last fiscal year (to June 2008) as presented by our senior management team on 18 August 2008. Our attributable profit was US$15.4 billion, up 12.4% on our last fiscal year. This reflects not only the robust demand for our products and strong prices, but more importantly our excellent operating performance, particularly in delivering new volume and on containing costs in what has been an inflationary cost environment for the mining industry.

That our people delivered such an excellent result at a time when there are many challenges is a testament to their skill and focus, and the leadership of your CEO, Marius Kloppers, and his leadership team.

These results have enabled us to declare a final dividend of 41 US cents per share, bringing the 2008 full year dividend to 70 US cents per share. This represents an annual dividend increase of 49 per cent over last year and 150 per cent over the past three years. The significant upwards rebasing of the final dividend will form the starting reference point for future periods, and is a sign of the Board’s confidence in the medium term outlook and the ability of the business to consistently deliver future earnings and cash flow.

Attached to this letter are some of the key financial measures showing BHP Billiton’s sustained performance since the merger in 2001, a record of which we are very proud.

New Production and New Projects

During the last 12 months your management team has brought into production 11 major new projects in oil and gas, iron ore, nickel, copper and diamonds. For our petroleum division this amounts to additional production capacity of 170,000 barrels of oil per day and 97 million cubic feet of gas per day. For our mineral products, these projects deliver additional production capacity of 21 million tonnes of iron ore, 58,000 tonnes of nickel and 70,000 tonnes of copper to our customers around the world.

We also currently have another 16 projects under development representing a total capital cost of US$12.4 billion. In every case, these projects were approved by the Board after extensive review and analysis confirmed in the Board’s view that each should deliver material increased value for the company and meet our return on capital requirements.

Sustainable Development

We are conscious of the need to deliver resources to the world in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. Climate change is an issue of particular relevance to the mining industry and I want to assure you that BHP Billiton is committed to playing a constructive role. As well as exploring ways to reduce the emissions associated with our businesses, we are working with governments, industry associations and other stakeholders to address this global challenge. Along with others, we are leading efforts in the coal industry to push the commercialisation of technologies capable of reducing, very significantly, CO2 emissions from the use of coal.

We have maintained our commitment to invest 1 per cent of our pre-tax profit on a three year rolling average in community programs. During the past financial year our contribution totalled US$141 million with the majority committed to projects aimed at improving the health, education, socio-economic and environmental outcomes in our host communities.

We are also proud of our Matched Giving Program which enables our employees to direct a proportion of our community expenditure to programs they chose to support themselves on a dollar for dollar basis. During the past financial year we matched US$4.8 million dollars in employee contributions (donations, fundraising or volunteer time) to over 1,000 charities.

The BHP Billiton Group is headquartered in Australia

Olympics and Paralympics

BHP Billiton is a major sponsor of both the Beijing Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games. These are global events, and an opportunity for us to contribute back to the global community. Not only did BHP Billiton operations provide all of the gold, silver and copper from which the Olympic and Paralympic medals were made, but our local employees in various countries in which we operate have been very active in providing pre-Games support for their local athletes’ participation.

We pay tribute to the performance of all participating athletes in the Olympics who have now returned to their countries and communities as Olympic heroes, and wish the best of luck to those competing in the Paralympic Games.

Offer for Rio Tinto

Since making our proposal to acquire Rio Tinto in February 2008 we have continued to progress our offer in a number of ways. We have:

• y commenced the process of seeking approval from the various regulatory authorities whose approval is required to satisfy the pre-conditions of our offer;

• y given several major presentations on our businesses to shareholders and investors, which can be found in the ‘Investors and Media’ section of our website;

• y

• been meeting regularly with our institutional shareholders, and

• y been meeting with a large number of individual shareholders, stockbrokers and people in the financial services industry.

The theme for these meetings and presentations has been to highlight the outstanding track record of BHP Billiton, provide some further insight into our Tier 1 asset portfolio and our future growth opportunities and to explain the benefits that could be shared by both sets of shareholders from the combination of the two companies.

Our recent results highlight the strength of BHP Billiton’s diversified portfolio of assets in a world in which the growth in demand for natural resources is continuing. The combination of BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto would enhance the ability to supply those natural resources to customers and create an organisation without comparison in the natural resources industry in terms of strategy, asset mix and quality, and culture. Your Board believes the combination of BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto will benefit the shareholders of both companies.

We continue to expect that the regulatory review process will be completed by around the end of the 2008 calendar year. This may seem to some to be a very slow process, but let me assure you that this timeframe is not unusual for a transaction of this nature. Following satisfaction or waiver of the pre-conditions, we will send formal offer documents and acceptance forms to Rio Tinto shareholders and convene an Extraordinary General Meeting at which BHP Billiton’s shareholders will have the opportunity to approve, among other things, the offer for Rio Tinto.

We will keep you informed on developments in relation to our offer for Rio Tinto. In the meantime we continue to focus on our operations and business performance in order to maximise value for our shareholders.

Other Information

Also enclosed with this letter is a summary of some of the key investor presentations and themes given over the past few months, which we hope you will find of interest.

We have an outstanding portfolio of businesses and each is extremely well positioned to capitalise on the strength of the markets in which they operate. We have a great company as it is today and we are confident we will continue to grow strongly.

Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to either contact our investor relations department on investor.relations@bhpbilliton.com, visit our website at www.bhpbilliton.com or contact our dedicated shareholder help line on the numbers shown on the reverse of this letter.

Information Relating to the US Offer for Rio Tinto plc and the Rio Tinto Limited Offer for Rio Tinto shareholders located in the US
