Forward-looking statements

This presentation contains forward-looking statements, including statements which may include: 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; productivity gains; cost reductions; 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'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.

Non-IFRS and other financial information

BHP results are reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This presentation may also include certain non-IFRS (also referred to as alternate performance measures) and other measures including Underlying attributable profit, Underlying EBITDA (all references to EBITDA refer to Underlying EBITDA), Underlying EBIT, Adjusted effective tax rate, Controllable cash costs, Free cash flow, Gearing ratio, Net debt, Net operating assets, Operating assets free cash flow, Principal factors that affect Underlying EBITDA, Underlying basic earnings/(loss) per share, Underlying EBITDA margin and Underlying return on capital employed (ROCE) (all references to return on capital employed refer to Underlying return on capital employed), Underlying return on invested capital (ROIC). These measures are used internally by management to assess the performance of our business and segments, make decisions on the allocation of our resources and assess operational management. Non-IFRS and other measures have not been subject to audit or review and should not be considered as an indication of or alternative to an IFRS measure of profitability, financial performance or liquidity.

Presentation of data

Unless specified otherwise: value represents BHP share of risked discounted cash flows at consensus prices; copper equivalent production based on 2018 financial year average realised prices (as published in BHP's Results for the year ended 30 June 2018 on 21 August 2018); data from subsidiaries are shown on a 100 per cent basis and data from equity accounted investments and other operations are presented reflecting BHP's share; medium term refers to our five year plan. Queensland Coal comprises the BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) asset, jointly operated with Mitsubishi, and the BHP Billiton Mitsui Coal (BMC) asset, operated by BHP. Numbers presented may not add up precisely to the totals provided due to rounding. References to disciplined supply refer to lower levels of investment across the industry. All footnote content contained on slide 34.

Accelerated social and political push to achieve

Heightened focus on water stewardship and food

zero emissions from stationary power to contain

security amidst climate change impacts and intense

Well positioned to mitigate impacts and create value

Understanding the signposts allows us to identify common no-regret actions and future decision points

Value

Electrification of transport

  • Policy support (e.g.pro-EV & anti-ICE)
  • Cost competitiveness of EVs
  • Infrastructure charging speed and availability

Decarbonisation of stationary power

  • Early retirement ofnon-renewable resources
  • Standalone renewable cost competitiveness
  • Grid flexibility solutions become economic

Biosphere

Globally coordinated regulatory intervention to resolve land and water competition

  • Food security threatened12
  • Steep disincentive pricing13

Licence to operate

  • Decline in trust between governments, citizens and corporations
  • Fluid policy environment at the global, national, regional and sectoral levels

Circular economy

  • Policy changes (i.e. imported waste bans)
  • Emergence of cost competitive substitutes forsingle-use plastics
  • Breakthrough in household recycling
  • Consumers reject unsustainable options

Time

Note: Represents possible impact on our portfolio if no action is taken to mitigate against risks or seize opportunities. Themes are not mutually exclusive or exhaustive, outcomes from one theme could impact our view on severity, timeframes, or strategic considerations for other themes.

Implications for strategy: Electrification of transport

Portfolio advantaged through exposures in copper and nickel with further options available to take advantage of the trend

Commodities

Assets

Capabilities

  • Nickel:major driver for Class I demand; scarce sulphide resource, inducing higher-capex,lower-grade laterites
  • Copper:significantly more demand required for EVs to induce high-cost supply
  • Oil:headwinds, but supply expected to decline faster than demand, maintaining inducement economics
  • Lithium:support, but abundance of resource allows supply to keep pace at relatively low cost
  • Cobalt:support, but to lose share in battery chemistry to nickel
  • Strong environment for development and expansion of copper assets (e.g. Olympic Dam, Resolution)
  • Copper assets innon-OECD countries likely to be required to meet demand
  • Increased attractiveness of nickel options as nickel sulphides likely to be scarce
  • Conventional oil assets to remain attractive for several decades
  • Opportunities to lower our carbon footprint and operating cost as heavy duty EVs become more competitive
  • Block caving skills in copper to become a required skill set
  • Technology breakthroughs to unlock low grade copper resource in mature assets
  • Exploration and development capabilities in nickel sulphides a strategic enabler
  • Exploration and development capabilities in conventional oil to remain a required skill set
  • Resource access in new jurisdictions vital, enabled by social value and strategic partnerships

Note: Not an exhaustive list for all commodities, assets and capabilities. This represents our initial view to only material impacts on our portfolio.

Strategy briefing

Implications for strategy: Licence to operate

Assets already permitted with low geopolitical risk likely to increase in value while new resource harder to develop

Commodities

Assets

Capabilities

  • Iron ore, copper, nickel and metallurgical coal:potentially positive as new projects find approvals difficult to secure
  • Potash:positive contributor to more sustainable land use and food security
  • Uranium:green energy profile but long-term societal attitudes unclear
  • Energy coal:projects difficult to motivate
  • Potential for value erosion across value chains for all carbon intensive industries (scope 3 emissions costs)
  • All assets with permits already in place are advantaged as new developments take longer and are more expensive
  • Strong environment for Jansen option and provides differentiated growth potential
  • Energy coal assets are challenged
  • Economics of Olympic Dam expansion more (less) attractive based on societal acceptability of nuclear
  • Social value becomes a major competitive advantage
  • Water stewardship a key enabler
  • Identifying the right partners in the right locations will be necessary
  • Labour productivity remains vital as costs are subject to upwards pressure
  • Tax transparency, high standards of governance, workforce engagement, diversity and inclusion are key enablers

Note: Not an exhaustive list for all commodities, assets and capabilities. This represents our initial view to only material impacts on our portfolio.

Strategy briefing

22 May 2019

14

Implications for strategy: Power decarbonisation

Risks associated with carbon-exposed commodities offset by upside to copper and nickel

Commodities

AssetsCapabilities

  • Copper:intensive use in renewable power capacity, but low cost power raises aluminium substitution
  • Nickel:incremental demand from storage; cheap transmitted electricity to stimulate other uses (e.g. EVs)
  • Gas:could be leapfrogged by renewables in the power sector in developing countries
  • Uranium:green energy profile but societal attitudes unclear
  • Energy coal:phased out, potentially sooner than expected
  • Strong environment for development and expansion of copper assets (e.g. Olympic Dam, Resolution), uranium neutral
  • Copper assets innon-OECD countries likely to be required to meet demand
  • No appetite for growth in energy coal regardless of asset attractiveness
  • Gas discoveries attractive if near LNG ullage, but large capital investments and longpay-backs carry more risk
  • Block caving skills in copper to become a required skill set
  • New resource access in new jurisdictions vital, enabled by social value
  • Technology breakthroughs to unlock low grade copper resource
  • Exploration and development capabilities in (scarce) nickel sulphides a strategic enabler
  • Decarbonisation of our value chain through carbon capture use and storage (CCUS)

Note: Not an exhaustive list for all commodities, assets and capabilities. This represents our initial view to only material impacts on our portfolio.

Strategy briefing

22 May 2019

15

Implications for strategy: Biosphere

A positive world for potash and one that favours assets with existing cost effective water stewardship strategies

Commodities

AssetsCapabilities

  • Potash:high demand case as food insecurity drives an increased need for potassium
  • Hydrocarbons:causal factors in unsustainable land and water use fall out of favour
  • Cost curves for many commodities will rise and steepen as the cost of water treatment and water security increases
  • Strong environment for Jansen option
  • Challenging for energy coal assets
  • Conventional oil assets likely to remain attractive but cost will be key
  • Escondida and Pampa Norte insulated due to existing water stewardship strategies and could be advantaged if the copper cost curve steepens
  • Asset location is an increasingly key strategic consideration for growth options
  • Heightened importance on judicious capital allocation, with particular attention to investment time horizons in challenged commodities
  • Water stewardship and sustainable operating practices are vital to driving competitive advantage
  • Social value creation through investments tackling loss of biodiversity, and othermacro-environmental challenges, takes on increased importance

Note: Not an exhaustive list for all commodities, assets and capabilities. This represents our initial view to only material impacts on our portfolio.

Strategy briefing

22 May 2019

16

Implications for strategy: Circular economy

A very challenging environment, with potential growth provided by potash

Commodities

Assets

Capabilities

  • Copper:likely to remain supported by new demand sources, even as recycling increases
  • Potash:higher crop residue recycling and declining food waste, but demand growth still highly likely
  • Material risk to most commodities, with a combination of redesign, reduction, reuse and recycling all pointing towards lower reliance on primary demand
  • Expect some commodities to have less downside risk than others: iron ore vs metallurgical coal; gas vs oil
  • Still room for growth in copper, but a transition to lower cost resources will be required
  • Jansen an attractive option for differentiated growth
  • Gas assets with installed infrastructure (e.g. NWS) likely to be well placed
  • A more holistic view of supply may be required, including participating in different parts of the value chain (e.g. primary nickel supply, combined with recycling batteries, to produce precursor)
  • Transformation agenda will be key to cost control and efficiency
  • Social value critical to secure strategic partnerships withend-users (e.g. auto makers) to manage and participate in lifecycle product chains
  • Sustainable supply chain will be important with the support of advanced technological capabilities

Note: Not an exhaustive list for all commodities, assets and capabilities. This represents our initial view to only material impacts on our portfolio.

Statement of Petroleum Resources

Petroleum Resources

The estimates of Petroleum Reserves and Contingent Resources contained in this presentation are based on, and fairly represent, information and supporting documentation prepared under the supervision of Mr. A. G. Gadgil, who is employed by BHP. Mr. Gadgil is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and has the required qualifications and experience to act as a qualified Petroleum Reserves and Resources evaluator under the ASX Listing Rules. This presentation is issued with the prior written consent of Mr. Gadgil who agrees with the form and context in which the Petroleum Reserves and Contingent Resources are presented.

Reserves and Contingent Resources are net of royalties owned by others and have been estimated using deterministic methodology. Aggregates of Reserves and Contingent Resources estimates contained in this presentation have been calculated by arithmetic summation by category. The barrel of oil equivalent conversion is based on 6000 scf of natural gas equals 1 boe. The Reserves contained in this presentation are inclusive of fuel required for operations. The respective amounts of fuel for each category are provided by footnote for the resource graphics. The custody transfer point(s)/point(s) of sale applicable for each field or project are the reference point for Reserves and Contingent Resources. Reserves and Contingent Resources estimates have not been adjusted for risk. Unless noted otherwise, Reserves and Contingent Resources are as of 30 June of the indicated financial year. Where used in this presentation, the term Resources represents the sum of 2P reserves and 2C Contingent Resources.

BHP estimates Proved Reserve volumes according to SEC disclosure regulations and files these in our annual 20-F report with the SEC. All Unproved volumes are estimated using SPE-PRMS 2007 guidelines, which among other things, allow escalations to prices and costs, and as such, would be on a different basis than that prescribed by the SEC, and are therefore excluded from our SEC filings. All Resources and other Unproved volumes may differ from and may not be comparable to the same or similarly-named measures used by other companies. Non-proved estimates are inherently more uncertain than proved.

The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only Proved, Probable and Possible Reserves, and only when such Reserves have been determined in accordance with SEC guidelines. We use certain terms in this presentation such as "Resources," "Contingent Resources," "2C Contingent Resources" and similar terms as well as Probable Reserves not determined in accordance with the SEC's guidelines, all of which measures we are strictly prohibited from including in filings with the SEC. These measures include Reserves and Resources with substantially less certainty than Proved Reserves. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, File No. 001-09526 and in our other filings with the SEC, available from us at http://www.bhp.com/. These forms can also be obtained from the SEC as described above.

Mineral Resources and Competent Persons statement

Competent Person Statement

The information in this presentation that relates to the FY2018 and FY2013 Mineral Resources (inclusive of Ore Reserves) were first reported by the Company in compliance with the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, 2012' ('The JORC Code 2012 Edition') in the 2018 BHP Annual Report and the 2013 BHP Billiton Annual Report respectively. Both reports are available to view on www.bhp.com.

The detailed breakdown of Mineral Resources for all assets are shown in the Annual Reports on 100% basis, with corresponding BHP interest. Compilation of Mineral Resources information from 2013 is included in this presentation to provide a portfolio comparison between these two dates. Divested assets are no longer owned or operated by BHP and the majority of these were demerged into South32 in May 2015. Other divestments are noted in the corresponding BHP Annual Reports.

In relation to the 2018 Mineral Resources, the company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the Mineral Resources information included in the original 2018 market announcement and, in the case of estimates of Mineral Resources, that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. The company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Persons' findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement.

The information in this presentation that relates to Mineral or Coal Resources is based on information compiled by: L Moharana (MAusIMM) for Western Australia Iron Ore (WAIO) and Divested assets (Alumar including MRN, Worsley, GEMCO, Hotazel); R Macpherson (MAIG) for Minerals Australia Energy Coal, Metallurgical Coal - Operations and Projects including Queensland CQCA-JV, Gregory JV (divested on 27 March 2019; available on www.bhp.com) and BHP Mitsui Coal and Projects and Divested assets (Illawarra Coal and BECSA); M Menicheli (MAusIMM) for Nickel West Operations and Nickel Colombia (Cerro Matoso); D Clarke (MAusIMM) for Olympic Dam; M Williams (MAusIMM) for Escondida District, Pampa Norte, Antamina, Pinto Valley, Cerrejón, New Mexico Coal, Samarco; J McElroy (MAusIMM) for Minerals Americas Jansen Project and M Furness (MAusIMM) for Cannington.

All of the people listed above are full-time employees of BHP and have sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which they are undertaking to qualify as Competent Persons as defined in the 2012 Edition of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves' and consent to the inclusion in the presentation of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.

Resources and metal equivalent calculations

Please refer to detailed tables in the Appendix, slides 30 to 33, for Mineral Resource classifications (100% basis) for each asset / deposit included in the average copper equivalent resource size per minerals asset calculations on slide 9 of this presentation.

Resource base (equity share basis) is converted to copper equivalent tonnes using FY2018 average realised prices as reported in the BHP results for the year ended 30 June 2018 for Metallurgical Coal, Energy Coal, Iron Ore, Copper and Nickel. The conversion of U3O8, Au, Ag and Zn use prices as reported in the BHP 2018 US Securities and Exchange Commission Form 20-F. Potash price used is US$233/t, Molybdenum US$7.11/lb, Lead US$0.87/lb, Aluminium US$2,132.98/t and Manganese Ore US$198.32/t.

The reporting of Mineral Resources for polymetallic deposits in terms of metal equivalents (a single equivalent grade of one major metal) is based on FY2018 average realised prices as reported in the BHP results for the year ended 30 June 2018 for Cu and for other metals the BHP 2013 and 2018 Form 20-F submissions (unless otherwise stated). The metallurgical recoveries applied are those footnoted for the respective operations as footnoted in the corresponding Annual Reports from 2013 and 2018. It is the company's opinion that all elements included in the metal equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold. No mining or metallurgical modifying factors were applied to the results. The following copper equivalent grade calculations are listed below.

2013 calculations

Olympic Dam: CuEq = Cu % + (U3O8 kg/t x 1.064) + (Au g/t x 0.459) + (Ag g/t x 0.0089); Spence: CuEq = Cu % + (Mo % x 3.039); Antamina Sulphide Cu-only: CuEq = Cu % + (Mo % x 2.048) + (Ag g/t x 0.0097); Antamina Sulphide Cu-Zn: CuEq =

Cu % + (Zn % x 0.45) + (Ag g/t x 0.0096); Cannington: PbEq = Pb % + (Ag g/t x 0.043) + (Zn % x 0.95), Molybdenum price used is US$11.18/lb.

2018 calculations

Olympic Dam: CuEq = Cu % + (U3O8 kg/t x 0.709) + (Au g/t x 0.407) + (Ag g/t x 0.0059); Escondida: CuEq = Cu % + (Au g/t x 0.575); Spence: CuEq = Cu % + (Mo % x 2.294); Antamina Sulphide Cu-only: CuEq = Cu % + (Mo % x 1.546) + (Ag g/t x

0.0065); Antamina Sulphide Cu-Zn: CuEq = Cu % + (Zn % x 0.33) + (Ag g/t x 0.0064).

  18. Slide 25: Jansen: Based on CRU and Integer (Argus Media) price assumptions(2025-2035 average mid-case: CRU US$325/t and Integer (Argus Media) US$342/t, rebased). Jansen Stage 1 IRR of 14-15% reflects capex range and excludes remaining funded investment of ~US$0.3 billion for completion of the shafts and installation of essential service infrastructure and utilities. Jansen Stages 2-4 capex is presented in real terms (July 2019) - those options would be brownfield and predominately require surface infrastructure, with shorter construction schedules and less risk than Stage 1. The execution of future stages would be subject to our review of supply and demand fundamentals and successful competition for capital under our Capital Allocation Framework. However, we expect that each subsequent expansion would be approved for development after the previous expansion had reached 3 to 4 years of full production. The existing shafts are capable of supporting production for Stages 2-4.
  19. Slide 26: WGOM OBN 2018 Seismic Permit is OCS PermitT18-010.
  20. Slide 26: Petroleum exploration and appraisal NPV: Unrisked values at BHPlong-term price forecasts.
  21. Slide 27: Below are tax consideration for Jansen Stage 1 project. Withholding tax on dividend payments under the current corporate structure is 5%.
    • Royalties: 6% of mine gate revenue (revenue less port and rail costs)
    • Federal and Provincial Corporate Income taxes: Combined top rate 27% (Carried forward losses frompre-production years can be utilised to decrease future taxable profits)
    • Potash Production Tax (PPT), two components.
      • Both components are calculated based on K2O tonnes. Thus potassium chloride (KCL) needs to be converted to potassium oxide (K2O), with a conversion rate of 0.6.
      • A base payment levied at a rate of 35% on the producer's annual resource profits, subject to minimum payment of CAD$11.00 and a maximum of CAD$12.33 per K2O tonne sold. New producers may qualify for a base payment holiday for the first 10 years of production.
      • A profit tax imposed on the producer's gross annual profit tax that is determined by rates, which increase with profits per tonne sold, as follows: 15% of the profit per tonne below CAD $66.95 and 35% of the profit per tonne above CAD $66.95 (tax brackets are indexed for inflation). Profit tax is assessed on a maximum of 35% of total tonnes sold, but producers may claim a base payment credit with respect to amount of tonnes that are subject to both the base payment and the profit tax. There are no tax holidays available for the profit tax.
