BHP BILLITON PRODUCTION REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009
-
Annual production was solid despite weak and volatile demand conditions and weather related interruptions.
-
Quarterly production increased for 12 major commodities including metallurgical coal, petroleum, copper and energy coal. Operations are well positioned to respond to demand recovery when it occurs.
-
Annual production records were achieved for petroleum, copper cathode and iron ore.
-
Annual production records at Western Australia Iron Ore, North West Shelf and Saraji (all Australia), Alumar refinery (Brazil), Cerrejon Coal (Colombia) and Zamzama (Pakistan).
-
A quarterly production record was set for petroleum, and at Hunter Valley Energy Coal (Australia).
-
Iron ore production was impacted by Rapid Growth Project (RGP) 4 tie-in activities and safety initiatives.
The 2009 financial year proved to be very challenging, with significant demand contraction exacerbated by dramatic movements in inventory levels. In the context of this environment, BHP Billiton achieved a solid operational performance, despite making production adjustments across a range of commodities, including metallurgical coal, nickel and manganese.
In the short term we believe underlying demand trends are still being masked by de-stock and stocking activities across the value chain. China inventory build is essentially complete, while we are now seeing evidence that restocking has commenced in North America, Europe and Japan. However, commodity prices will be influenced by supply responses due to latent capacity currently existing in the industry.
BHP Billiton remains well positioned in a modest demand environment, with high margin businesses and a strong balance sheet that allows us to invest for the future and return funds to shareholders.

| Total Petroleum Products (million boe) | 137.19 | 37.56 | 6% | 4% | 19% |
Total Petroleum Production – Strong annual production growth due to delivery of new projects and ongoing focus on driving base performance. First production was achieved for five projects – Neptune, Shenzi and Atlantis North (all USA), North West Shelf Train 5 and Angel (both Australia).
Crude Oil, Condensate, and Natural Gas Liquids – Production was higher than all comparative periods due to significant growth in high margin crude production. Crude, condensate and natural gas liquids production were 12 per cent higher than the year ended June 2008. The continued ramp up and start up of new projects, such as Shenzi, Neptune and Atlantis, contributed to an increase in production. This was achieved despite the impact of hurricane related interruptions, and the need to install water injection for reservoir support at Atlantis.
Production increased by 19 per cent versus the March 2009 quarter due to the start up of Shenzi and infill drilling program at Bass Strait (Australia).
On 22 June 2009, the Griffin Joint Venture (Australia) announced that production will cease in October 2009 as the facility reaches the end of its useful life.
Natural Gas – Production was in line with the quarter and year ended June 2008. Lower Bass Strait production was mainly due to the ethane pipeline incident in December 2008. This was partly offset by the contribution from North West Shelf Train 5 and Angel.
Production was higher than the March 2009 quarter due to the expected higher seasonal demand in Australia and recovery from the Bass Strait ethane pipeline incident.

| Aluminium (‘000 tonnes) | 1,233 | 310 | -5% | 2% | 2% |
Alumina – Production improved following the calciner outages at Worsley (Australia) in the March 2009 quarter.
Aluminium – Production was lower than the year ended June 2008 due to the mandatory reduction of power consumption in Southern Africa, which began in January 2008. Hillside (South Africa) continued to deliver production at or above design capacity.

| Uranium Oxide Concentrate (Uranium) (tonnes) | 4,007 | 1,154 | -3% | 12% | 31% |
Copper – Production for the year and quarter ended June 2009 was impacted by lower ore grade and reduced output from milling operations at Escondida (Chile). Partially offsetting this was the continued ramp up of Spence and Escondida Sulphide Leach (both Chile) and improved ore milled and smelter performance at Olympic Dam (Australia).
Production was stronger than the March 2009 quarter due to higher grade at Escondida and improved performance from Cerro Colorado (Chile) and Antamina (Peru).
During the September 2009 quarter, Escondida’s Laguna Seca SAG mill will be shut down for 45 days to replace the stator coils. We expect a more reliable mill operation after this maintenance.
At 30 June 2009 the Group had 234,871 tonnes of outstanding copper sales that were revalued at a weighted average price of US$4,946 per tonne. The final price of these sales will be determined in the 2010 financial year. In addition, 327,941 tonnes of copper sales from the 2008 financial year were subject to a finalisation adjustment in 2009. The finalisation adjustment and provisional pricing impact as at 30 June 2009 will decrease earnings[(a)] by US$936 million for the period.
Lead/Silver – Production for the year ended June 2009 was impacted by lower grade and wet weather interruptions during the March 2009 quarter at Cannington (Australia).
Production was higher than the comparative quarters due to improved mill throughput at Cannington.
Zinc – Production was higher than all comparative periods due to better grade and an increased proportion of zinc containing ores at Antamina (Peru).
Uranium – Production increased compared to the June 2008 and March 2009 quarters reflecting record ore milled and improved recoveries at Olympic Dam.

Diamonds – Production continues to be influenced by variability of ore sources due to the mix of open pit and underground mining. The Koala Underground (Canada) mine which was commissioned in December 2007 has been fully ramped up.

Nickel – Production was higher than the June 2008 quarter which had been impacted by the industrial stoppage at Cerro Matoso (Colombia) and the start of the Kalgoorlie Nickel Smelter (Australia) furnace rebuild in the June 2008 quarter.

| Iron Ore (‘000 tonnes) | 114,415 | 27,048 | 2% | -10% | -4% |
Iron Ore – Production for the June 2009 quarter was impacted by tie-in activities for RGP 4 and safety initiatives at the Western Australia Iron Ore operations. As RGP 4 is nearing completion, existing operations will continue to be impacted by the tie-in activities.
Production volumes at Samarco (Brazil) increased during the June 2009 quarter following the restart of the second pellet plant during the March 2009 quarter. The third pellet plant restarted in early July 2009 however the continued operation of all three pellet plants will be subject to ongoing assessment to align with demand for the product.
For the year ended June 2009, 68 per cent of Western Australia Iron Ore shipments on a wet metric tonne basis were based on annually agreed pricing.

| Manganese Alloy (‘000 tonnes) | 513 | 25 | -34% | -87% | -76% |
Manganese Ore – The decrease in production reflects the previously announced production adjustments in response to weak demand. While production decreased in the June 2009 quarter relative to the prior quarter, sales increased modestly and stockpiles were drawn down to meet demand. As stockpiles reach optimal levels, production will be progressively ramped up.
Manganese Alloy – Production was in line with previously announced production cuts. The demand outlook varies between products, with overall conditions remaining subdued. Samancor Manganese will therefore continue to produce at reduced levels and use stockpiles to meet demand.

Metallurgical Coal – Despite softer market conditions, production was slightly above the June 2008 year end, when production was affected by severe flooding.
Production for the June 2009 quarter improved significantly over the March 2009 quarter due to stronger demand conditions, particularly from Asia. Our operations are well positioned to respond to increases in demand.

| Energy Coal (‘000 tonnes) (c) | 68,206 | 17,712 | -2% | -5% | 16% |
Energy Coal – Production was slightly lower than the June 2008 quarter due to the planned closure of underground mining operations at Douglas Middelburg (South Africa) which occurred in November 2008.
Production for the June 2009 quarter recovered following the wet weather interruptions at Hunter Valley Energy Coal and Douglas Middelburg and planned maintenance in the March 2009 quarter.
