Operational review for the nine months ended 31 March 2026
Strong operational performance in copper and iron ore, as we continue to advance our growth projects
“BHP has delivered strong performance over the past nine months, including record material mined and concentrator throughput at Escondida and record production at WAIO. These results reflect the consistency of our operations and the strength of our high margin diversified portfolio in an evolving operating environment.
In copper, strong performance at Escondida and Antamina supports our expectation of delivering production in the upper half of FY26 Group copper guidance. We continue to make steady progress across our copper growth program, consistent with our focus on long-life, high-quality copper supply and disciplined capital allocation. During the quarter we submitted a permit application for Escondida’s new concentrator, and Resolution Copper achieved a key milestone, allowing the project to progress drilling required to complete its mine design and feasibility study. Our balance sheet remains strong, and in the last month we have realised ~US$4.8 bn by completing the Antamina silver streaming transaction and finalising the divestment of Carajás, as well as cash received in relation to the earlier divestment of Blackwater and Daunia.
Our centralised procurement capability and our low-cost operations have positioned us advantageously in the face of industry wide pressure on the cost of energy and consumables as a result of the conflict in the Middle East.
From 1 July 2026, Brandon Craig will assume the role of CEO, taking BHP forward from a strong position with reliable operations and a significant pipeline of copper and potash growth projects, to deliver long term value through the cycle.”
Mike Henry,
BHP Chief Executive Officer
| Summary | ||
| Operational excellence |
CEO succession | |
| Upper half copper; iron ore on track |
Brandon Craig to succeed Mike Henry | |
| FY26 Group copper production is now expected to be in the upper half of the guidance range, with Escondida (upper half) and Antamina (increased) offsetting Spence (lowered due to the ongoing challenges of managing variable ore characteristics). Samarco is now expected to achieve the top end of its FY26 production guidance range.
FY26 unit cost guidance has been improved at Escondida, with BMA now guiding to the top end of its range. All other assets remain unchanged, however we continue to actively manage the impacts of higher diesel and consumables costs, as well as movements in foreign exchange rates, on the underlying cost base of our assets.
|
In March, the Board of BHP announced that Brandon Craig will become Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and a Director of BHP Group Limited on 1 July 2026, succeeding the current CEO, Mike Henry, who will step down after six and a half years in the role.
Brandon brings more than 25 years of operational and corporate leadership experience at BHP to the role, most recently as BHP’s President Americas. During his time in this role, BHP became the world’s largest copper producer and advanced high quality growth options in copper and potash across Canada, the United States and South America.

Advancing copper growth projects | |
| In April, we completed a silver streaming transaction with Wheaton Precious Metals and received total upfront consideration of US$4.3 bn. We also finalised the divestment of the Carajás assets with US$240 m received on completion (plus cash adjustments), and with potential for up to an additional US$225 m to be received as contingent payments based on performance targets. | In March, we submitted the Environmental Impact Declaration (DIA) permit for the Escondida New Concentrator, which is the centre piece of Escondida’s growth program. Resolution Copper, a joint venture between Rio Tinto (55% and operator) and BHP (45%), completed a land exchange in Arizona, United States. Resolution Copper can now advance further resource data collection and initiate early underground development at one of the largest untapped, high-Ggrade copper resources in the world. | |

FY26e 1,900 – 2,000 kt
Average realised price
US$5.47/lb é31%
YTD Mar FY25 US$4.19/lb |
Total copper production decreased 3% to 1,461 kt. Copper production guidance for FY26 remains unchanged at between 1,900 and 2,000 kt and is now expected to be in the upper half of the range.
Escondida 949 kt ê3% (100% basis)
Production decreased primarily due to planned lower concentrator feed grade of 0.91% (FY25 YTD: 1.05%). This was partially offset by strong operational performance, with record material mined and record concentrator throughput, as well as improved recoveries driven by operational enhancements, including the introduction of new reagents. Cathode production increased, supported by higher sulphide leach production and additional leach pad irrigation.
Production guidance for FY26 remains unchanged at between 1,200 and 1,275 kt and is now expected to be in the upper half of the range. Concentrator feed grade guidance remains unchanged at between 0.85 and 0.90% for the full year. Unit cost guidance for FY26 has been lowered to between US$1.00 and US$1.20/lb (from US$1.20 to US$1.50/lb previously), reflecting the increased contribution of by-product credits and strong operational performance.
The Environmental Impact Declaration (DIA) permit for the Escondida New Concentrator, the centre piece of the growth program, was submitted in March 2026. The new concentrator is expected to require an investment of between US$4.4 and US$5.9 bn to deliver between 220 and 260 ktpa of copper, more than offsetting the existing production capacity of the current Los Colorados plant. Subject to environmental permit approval, the project will progress towards an expected final investment decision (FID) in CY27-28, with potential first production between CY31-32. | |
| Pampa Norte (Spence) 158kt ê19% | ||
| Production decreased due to challenges with managing the ore complexity, variation and declining grades at both the concentrator and the cathode plant. | ||
| At the cathode plant, production decreased due to the planned decline in stacked feed grade as we progress deeper into the hypogene mineral area of the ore body. We continue to test the implementation of BHP’s Simple Approach to Leaching 2 (SaL2) technology at the sulphide leach pad to enable processing of hypogene ores and utilise latent capacity in the cathode infrastructure. | ||
| At the concentrator, ongoing challenges associated with managing ore complexity and variability have reduced recoveries which requires additional ore blending and flotation time to address these impacts. We plan to invest in upgraded flotation cells, which are expected to enable improved processing and recoveries, with a potential FID in H1 FY27. | ||
| Production guidance for FY26 has been lowered to between 210 and 220 kt (from between 230 and 250 kt previously). | ||
| Copper South Australia 231 kt é3% | ||
| Production increased primarily driven by strong underlying operational performance, and the weather-related power outage in the prior period. Olympic Dam achieved record material mined, ore milled and concentrate smelted while production also benefited from higher feed grades at Prominent Hill. Material mined at Carrapateena increased 11%, including record performance in Q3 FY26, which partially offset the impact of planned lower grades. | ||
| Production guidance for FY26 remains unchanged at between 310 and 340 kt. | ||
| By-product production was also strong, including record refined gold volumes. | ||
| In Q3 FY26, concentrate and associated by-product sales decreased due to wet weather impacts at Prominent Hill, including site access road closures which affected logistics. This is expected to result in higher FY26 closing inventories. | ||

BHP | Operational review for the nine months ended 31 March 2026
| Other copper | ||
| At Antamina, copper production increased 19% to 116 kt as a result of planned higher feed grades and improved operational performance. Zinc production is 18% higher at 81 kt, as a result of planned higher feed grades. We now expect Antamina’s copper production for FY26 to be between 150 and 160 kt (from 140 to 150 kt previously). Zinc production guidance for FY26 remains unchanged at between 90 and 110kt. | ||
| The divestment of Carajás to a subsidiary of CoreX Holding was completed on 2 April 2026 with US$240 m (plus cash adjustments) received on completion, and with potential for up to an additional US$225 m to be received as contingent payments based on a range of production and project related targets. Prior to divestment, Carajás had produced 6.8 kt of copper and 5.5 troy koz of gold.

Iron ore production increased 2% to 197 Mt. Iron ore production guidance for FY26 remains unchanged at between 258 and 269 Mt.
WAIO 191 Mt é1% | 216 Mt (100% basis)
WAIO achieved record production. At the mines, record material mined (up 7%) and draw down of inventory helped deliver record volumes from the Central Pilbara hub (South Flank and Mining Area C) with South Flank exceeding annualised nameplate capacity.
At port, Car Dumper (CD) performance improved following the completion of the CD3 rebuild in Q1 FY26 (4.3 Mt impact, 100% basis), which alongside the planned reduction in tie- in activity on the multi-year Rail Technology Program (RTP1), generated increased efficiency across the rail network and higher inflow.
We have concluded iron ore sales contract negotiations with the China Mineral Resources Group (CMRG). Production guidance for FY26 remains unchanged at between 251 and 262 Mt (284 and 296 Mt, 100% basis).
Samarco 5.9 Mt é37% | 11.8 Mt (100% basis)
Production increased as a result of stronger performance at the second concentrator following ramp up, and higher feed grades and recoveries.
Production guidance for FY26 remains unchanged at between 7 and 7.5 Mt and is now expected to be at the top end of the range, as a result of strong operating performance.

YTD Mar FY25 US$200.12/t |
BMA 13.0 Mt é1% | 25.9 Mt (100% basis)
Production increased with strong operational performance at the open cut operations, supported by the highest YTD stripping volumes in five years. This was partially offset by lower yield driven by mine sequencing in response to significant wet weather (the highest rainfall recorded in 15 years), ongoing geotechnical challenges at Broadmeadow, and Saraji South being placed into care and maintenance.
The planned longwall move at Broadmeadow commenced in February and was completed in early April.
Production guidance for FY26 remains unchanged at between 18 and 20 Mt (36 and 40 Mt, 100% basis), with production expected to be in the lower half of the range. Unit cost guidance for FY26 remains unchanged at between US$116 and US$128/t and is now expected to be at the top end of the range (previously upper half of the range).
We expect to continue building raw coal inventory into CY27, to further improve operating stability. | |
