Our three concentrator strategy will offset grade decline at Escondida bhpbilliton resourcing the future We are considering extending the life of the Los Colorados concentrator to FY30 - enables utilisation of three concentrators with a combined throughput capacity of ~375 ktpd - requires new 110 ktpd crusher and conveying capacity as existing system will feed OGP1 - the revised mine plan retains access to the majority of high-grade ore for OGP1 - underpinned by existing water supply, EWS and further water management optimisation - will be fed by diverting ore from the sulphide leach stream, increasing overall recoveries with no increase to material movement An exceptionally low-capital intensity option which will defer the requirement for OGP2 and Los Colorados demolition capital Expected to move into pre-feasibility in H1 CY15, subject to approval, with ramp-up in FY18 following EWS commissioning We will retain access to higher grade ore Main pit Los Colorados Revised mine plan Original mine plan Peter Beaven, Chief Financial Officer, 24 November 2014 Slide 13

Our water and power solutions are key enablers bhpbilliton resourcing the future Water availability is the bottleneck at Escondida until FY18 Our US$3.4 billion (100% basis) desalination facility at Escondida is on schedule for commissioning in CY17 - enables our three concentrator strategy at a competitive cost of production - ensures the long-term viability of our operations in a sustainable manner We have awarded a long-term power contract to underpin the development of a 517 MW gas-fired plant in Chile - the project will be commissioned in CY16 and supply the future power needs of Escondida and Cerro Colorado Escondida Water Supply (EWS) project Peter Beaven, Chief Financial Officer, 24 November 2014 Slide 14

Debottlenecking Olympic Dam capacity to 235 ktpa bhpbilliton resourcing the future We plan to increase copper production capacity at Olympic Dam by ~50 ktpa1 from FY18 - expanding mine footprint into the Southern Mining Area to access higher grade ore and increase total ore hoisted to 11 Mtpa - grades will recover to >2.2% by FY20 - enables full utilisation of the bottleneck at the smelter and refinery Increased volumes and additional cost savings will place Olympic Dam in the first to second quartile of the C1 cost curve Requires US$200 million of surface debottlenecking capital and the acceleration of long-term drilling plans and mine development Underground mine development is currently in execution 1.

Low-cost recovery optimisation at Spence bhpbilliton resourcing the future Our Spence Recovery Optimisation project has the potential to increase copper recoveries by ~14% from FY16 - acceleration of heap leach kinetics and increased utilisation of leach pads - low-capital intensity project will enable full utilisation of 200 ktpa tankhouse capacity in initial two years - grades are expected to average ~0.7% for the remaining mine-life The Spence supergene resource will be fully exhausted by the mid 2020s Currently in pre-feasibility, subject to approval Accelerating heap leach performance at Spence (%, copper recoveries) 100 75 50 25 0 600 (days) Without optimisation With optimisation Oxide Heap Leach Pads, Spence Peter Beaven, Chief Financial Officer, 24 November 2014 Slide 16

A compelling suite of longer-term growth projects bhpbilliton resourcing the future Spence Growth Option We are studying the development of the hypogene resource at Spence - accesses ore beneath the current mine footprint, eliminating the need for pre-stripping and new mining equipment - evaluating the construction of a 95 ktpd concentrator reliant on desalinated water Leaching of the supergene continues in parallel until ~FY25, supplemented by the introduction of low-grade hypogene leaching in the early 2020s Potential to deliver incremental copper capacity of ~200 ktpa in the first 10 years3 The project is well positioned to compete for capital given attractive copper and molybdenum grades Currently in pre-feasibility, with potential to deliver first production in FY20, subject to approval Current mine footprint 1,670 m 3,950 m 230 m Spence Growth Option 2,600 m 4,600 m 790 m Spence Growth Option (concentrator) Mineral resources1 2.3 billion tonnes (hypogene) Resource life2 >50 years beyond FY25 10-year average grade 0.59% copper; 213ppm molybdenum 10-year average recovery 88% copper; 60% molybdenum 10-year average production Additional 170 ktpa copper and 5 ktpa of molybdenum Cash costs Second quartile of C1 cost curve 1.
