LODGEMENT OF YOUR PROXY FORM

This proxy form must be received by 11.30 am (Melbourne time) on Tuesday, 24 November 2009

Any proxy form (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.

How to complete this proxy form

If you are unable to attend the Annual General Meeting to be held in Brisbane on Thursday, 26 November 2009 at 10.30 am (Brisbane time), you are encouraged to appoint a person or body corporate who will attend as your proxy and exercise your right to vote your shares. Note that if you appoint a body corporate as your proxy, the body corporate should appoint a person as its representative at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act.

Appointment of a second proxy

A shareholder is entitled to appoint up to two persons (whether shareholders or not) to attend the meeting and vote. A separate proxy form should be used for each proxy appointment. An additional proxy form will be supplied on request.

Any questions?

Telephone: (within Australia) 1300 656 780; (outside Australia) +61 3 9415 4020 if you have any questions on how to complete this proxy form or you would like an additional proxy form.

Directing your proxy how to vote

If you wish to direct your proxy how to vote (or not to cast any vote) on any resolution, place a mark (“X”) in the “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” box. If you mark more than one box on a resolution, your vote on that resolution will be invalid. If you mark the Abstain box for a particular resolution, you are directing your proxy not to vote on your behalf on a poll and your votes will not be counted in computing the required majority.

Signing instructions

You must sign this proxy form as follows in the spaces provided:

Individual: where the holding is in one name, the proxy form must be signed by the shareholder or the shareholder’s attorney. Joint holding: where the holding is in more than one name, all of the shareholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: to sign under Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged the Power of Attorney with the share registry for notation. If you have not previously lodged this document for notation, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this proxy form when you return it.

Companies: where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this proxy form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can sign alone. Otherwise this proxy form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place. If a representative of a company shareholder or a company proxy is to attend the meeting the appropriate ‘Appointment of Corporate Representative Form’ should be produced prior to admission. This form may be obtained from BHP Billiton Limited’s share registry.

Internet voting: go to www.bhpbilliton.com, and select Vote online and follow the prompts and instructions. To access this service you will need your Securityholder Reference Number (SRN) or Holder Identification Number (HIN) which is printed on the top right hand corner of this proxy form.
