 BHP BILLITON ISSUES ALUMINIUM CUSTOMER SECTOR GROUP SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION



BHP Billiton today posted amended supplementary information relating to its full
year results for the year ended 30 June 2002 to its website at BHPBilliton.com.

The amended information relates to the Aluminium Customer Sector Group ('CSG')
and is recorded on page 2 of the supplementary information. A copy is attached
to this press release for reference. The amendments cover the breakdown of
turnover, EBITDA and EBIT in the 2002 year between the components of the
Aluminium CSG together with an amendment to the split between sustaining and
growth capital expenditure. The Aluminium CSG totals for turnover, EBITDA, EBIT
and capital expenditure, and all other figures previously reported for
depreciation & amortisation, net operating assets and exploration are unchanged.

As a result of these amendments, the table titled 'Trading activities included
above: Turnover' in note 3 to the Preliminary Profits Announcement of 7 August
titled, 'Segmental analysis by business', will also change. A copy is attached
to this press release for reference. The amendment relates to the turnover of
the Aluminium CSG in this table that in turn will affect the total figure for
this table.

The change between growth and sustaining capital expenditure for the Aluminium
CSG will result in a change to the group total numbers from US$ 1,962 million
growth and US$ 859 million sustaining to US$ 1930 million growth and US$ 891
million sustaining. Total capital expenditure for the group of US$ 2,821 million
remains unchanged.
