Forward-looking statements

This presentation contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding: trends in commodity prices and currency exchange rates; demand for commodities; plans, strategies and objectives of management; closure or divestment of certain operations or facilities (including associated costs); anticipated production or construction commencement dates; capital costs and scheduling; operating costs and shortages of materials and skilled employees; anticipated productive lives of projects, mines and facilities; provisions and contingent liabilities; tax and regulatory developments.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as ‘intend’, ‘aim’, ‘project’, ‘anticipate’, ‘estimate’, ‘plan’, ‘believe’, ‘expect’, ‘may’, ‘should’, ‘will’, ‘continue’, ‘annualised’ or similar words. These statements discuss future expectations concerning the results of operations or financial condition, or provide other forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees or predictions of future performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, and which may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements contained in this presentation. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

For example, future revenues from our operations, projects or mines described in this presentation will be based, in part, upon the market price of the minerals, metals or petroleum produced, which may vary significantly from current levels. These variations, if materially adverse, may affect the timing or the feasibility of the development of a particular project, the expansion of certain facilities or mines, or the continuation of existing operations.

Other factors that may affect the actual construction or production commencement dates, costs or production output and anticipated lives of operations, mines or facilities include our ability to profitably produce and transport the minerals, petroleum and/or metals extracted to applicable markets; the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on the market prices of the minerals, petroleum or metals we produce; activities of government authorities in some of the countries where we are exploring or developing these projects, facilities or mines, including increases in taxes, changes in environmental and other regulations and political uncertainty; labour unrest; and other factors identified in the risk factors discussed in BHP Billiton’s filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (including in Annual Reports on Form 20-F) which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Except as required by applicable regulations or by law, the Group does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events. Past performance cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance.

Financial impact of Samarco dam failure

  • Investment in Samarco written down to US$nil at 31 December 2015

  • US$1.2 billion provision at 30 June 2016 reflects uncertainty around potential restart

  • equivalent to 50% share of current estimate of Samarco’s funding obligations under terms of Framework Agreement

  • US$134 million funding support to Foundation’s reparatory and compensatory programs will be offset against provision

  • Direct costs incurred by BHP Billiton[1] of US$70 million

  • Samarco financial support made available for remediation and stabilisation work and to support operations

  • short-term funding facility of US$116 million for restart and working capital will be released only as required

  • safe restart is an important priority, along with the restructure of Samarco’s debt

Near-term is difficult

Commodity market outlook to 2025

  • well-supplied markets across our commodity suite

  • ineffective monetary policy, political uncertainty, populist rejection of free trade suppressing business confidence

Fundamentals to return as markets rebalance over the medium term

Robust longer-term demand outlook

  • China’s industrial output and fixed investment solid

  • Onshore US will respond to market conditions

…lower costs…

  • productivity gains of US$1.8 billion expected in FY17

  • unit costs expected to reduce by 12%[1]

…and higher capital productivity…

  • FY17 capital and exploration expenditure of US$5.4 billion[2]

We remain positive on long-term copper fundamentals

Short-term overcapacity in copper remains persistent

  • Subdued demand with slower than expected growth in China and recession in key non-Asian emerging economies

  • Increased supply from new and expanded operations with more growth expected near term

Long-term fundamentals are sound

  • Demand growth will continue as China transitions to a consumer-driven economy, and copper-intensive renewable energy capacity and electric vehicles grow rapidly

  • Emerging markets will recover and converge to their natural intensity curves

  • Grade decline and mine depletions will require investment in new supply

Global demand slow recently, but long run trend is still positive (Refined copper demand[1] , Mt)

Oil and US gas markets expected to rebalance

Outlook remains healthy

  • Fundamentals tightening, as healthy demand growth intersects with slower global production growth due to falling production in the US

  • Rate of inventory drawdown will impact price recovery - OPEC and US production remain key watch points

  • Higher prices will be required to induce the new supply needed to offset natural field decline and meet growing demand

Iron ore demand outlook remains modest

Chinese and global steel growth to slow

  • Global steel production is likely to grow modestly in the future

  • China’s steel demand growth to become more cyclical as it moves past the inflection point on its intensity curve

  • As China slows, global steel demand growth will mostly come from emerging economies, primarily India and Southeast Asia

Low-cost iron ore to continue to displace higher cost supply

  • Supply growth will continue to outweigh demand growth in coming years

  • Lower costs through productivity is likely to remain a long-term feature

  • Pilbara production expected to remain highly cost competitive

Supply opportunity

Metallurgical coal outlook supported by growing demand for high-quality product

Demand improvement to be moderate, supply slowly adjusting

  • Cost curve has flattened

  • Lower prices are leading to closures and reduced investment

The world continues to require steel and metallurgical coal is essential for pig iron production

  • China expected to continue to import seaborne metallurgical coal

  • demand supported by coastal market access and requirement for consistent, quality product in larger blast furnaces

  • encouraging signs following domestic coal supply reforms

  • Robust outlook underpinned by scarcity of high-quality resources and demand growth in emerging economies

  • particularly in India where we expect strong steel production growth

Energy coal expected to remain an important part of the global energy complex

Markets expected to remain oversupplied in the near term

  • China’s demand for imports is likely to fall further as domestic overcapacity persists, however coal supply reforms encouraging

  • More supply rationalisation is required to balance the market

Coal’s share of the fuel mix will decline but total volume will grow due to cost competitiveness in Asia

  • Absolute demand expected to increase by 10-15% by the mid-2020s, despite a declining share in the global electricity generation fuel mix

  • India and South East Asia have 26% of the world’s population, but still account for only 13% of global electricity generation

  • low-cost energy coal is expected to be a preferred fuel source
