Operational review for the year ended 30 June 2024

Strong operational performance with record iron ore production and highest copper production in over 15 years.

"We finished the year with a strong fourth quarter, achieving several production records and we are meeting current production and unit cost guidance for all commodities.

WAIO continued its strong performance, delivering a second consecutive year of record production on the back of ongoing incremental improvements along its supply chain as we progress toward our medium-term goal of increasing production to greater than 305 Mtpa.

We achieved a strong performance across our copper business globally, underpinned by the highest production in four years at Escondida and another year of record production from Spence in Chile. Successful integration at Copper South Australia has delivered additional production tonnes, and exceeded the annualised synergies planned at the time of the OZL acquisition.

We successfully completed the sale of the Blackwater and Daunia metallurgical coal operations on 2 April 2024. After a challenging year at BMA, we have plans in place to increase production to between 43 and 45 Mtpa (100%) in the next five years.

We continued to execute against our strategy, progressing growth options in the commodities the world needs to meet the demands of the energy transition and population growth. This includes our Jansen potash mine in Canada, where construction of Stage 1 is now more than 50% complete and Stage 2 is underway. We will see first production in 2026 and will be a major global producer of potash by the end of the decade.

On 11 July we announced the temporary suspension of our Western Australia Nickel operations from October 2024 as a result of an oversupply in the global nickel market and protracted low nickel prices."

Summary

Operational excellence				Financial performance
Record production at WAIO and Spence				Strong prices in key commodities
FY24 production guidance achieved for all commodities, with metallurgical coal achieving the upper end of its revised guidance. Record production at WAIO, Spence and Carrapateena and the highest production in four years at Escondida. Total copper production increased 9% and is expected to increase a further 4% in FY25.1				Average realised prices for copper and iron ore were higher in FY24, while metallurgical coal prices remained relatively stable, and nickel and energy coal prices were lower. Unit cost guidance for FY24 is expected to be met at Escondida, WAIO and Spence, and revised unit cost guidance is expected to be met at BMA.
Portfolio				Decarbonisation
Executing our strategy				Progress on Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions
We completed the divestment of Blackwater and Daunia, and commenced construction of Jansen Stage 2, with Jansen Stage 1 now >50% complete. We also completed the scheduled ramp up of both South Flank to full production capacity of 80 Mtpa (100% basis) and the Carrapateena Crusher 2 project.				We held an investor roundtable to provide an update on our decarbonisation progress, including our collaborationscollaboration with Rio Tinto, Caterpillar and Komatsu collaboration with Rio Tinto, Caterpillar and Komatsuto trial battery electric haul trucks in the Pilbara and investigate a pilot electric smelting furnace (ESF).

Segment and asset performance | FY24 YTD v FY23 YTD

Copper

Production 1,865 kt Up 9% FY23 1,717 kt FY25e 1,845 - 2,045 kt Average realised price US$3.98/lb Up 9% FY23 US$3.65/lb

Total copper production increased 9% to 1,865 kt. Copper production for FY25 is expected to be between 1,845 and 2,045 kt. Escondida 1,125 kt Up 7% (100% basis) Increased production was primarily due to a higher concentrator feed grade of 0.88% (including grade of 0.99% achieved in Q4 FY24), up from 0.82% in FY23, as mining progressed into areas of higher-grade ore as planned following the implementation of measures to manage geotechnical events in FY23. This was partially offset by planned lower cathode production, as a result of prioritising concentrator throughput in prior years. Production for FY25 is expected to be between 1,180 and 1,300 kt, driven by higher grades and throughput, and is expected to be weighted to the second half. Concentrator feed grade for FY25 is expected to be greater than 0.90%. Pampa Norte 266 kt Down 8% Spence production increased 6% to a record 255 kt, driven by improved concentrator throughput and increases in both concentrator feed grade and recoveries. Record concentrate production was partially offset by lower cathode production, in line with an expected decline in stacked feed grade. The concentrator plant modifications which commenced in August 2022 were completed in June 2024. Spence successfully completed negotiations for a new collective agreement with the Union N°1 of Operators and Maintainers, effective for 36 months from 1 June 2024.   Production at Spence for FY25 is expected to be between 240 and 270 kt. Cerro Colorado entered temporary care and maintenance in December 2023, after producing 11 kt for the period. Copper South Australia 322 kt Up 39% Successful integration following the acquisition of OZL in FY23 and strong underlying operational performance across the asset delivered increased production, as well as record material mined and concentrate smelted at Olympic Dam.  We have exceeded our planned annualised synergies, such as the processing of Prominent Hill and Carrapateena concentrate at Olympic Dam into higher-margin cathode and refined gold, resulting in annual records for cathode and gold production at Olympic Dam. The successful commissioning and ramp up of Crusher 2 led to record material mined and concentrate produced at Carrapateena. Production for FY25 is expected to be between 310 and 340 kt, weighted to the second half. We continued exploration drilling at OD Deeps and Oak Dam to enhance our resource knowledge in support of our growth studies and we expect to provide an Inferred Mineral Resource at Oak Dam later this calendar year. Other copper At Antamina, copper production increased 4% to 144 kt, as a result of record concentrator throughput offsetting planned lower feed grades. Zinc production was 17% lower at 103 kt, as a result of planned lower feed grades. Copper production for FY25 is expected to be between 115 and 135 kt, due to mine sequencing which will result in lower throughput, and zinc production is expected to be between 90 and 110 kt. Carajás produced 8.4 kt of copper and 5.8 troy koz of gold.

Iron ore

Production 260 Mt Up 1% FY23 257 Mt FY25e 255 - 265.5 Mt Average realised price US$101.04/wmt Up 9% FY23 US$92.54/wmt

Iron ore production increased 1% to a record 260 Mt. Production for FY25 is expected to be between 255 and 265.5 Mt. WAIO 255 Mt Up 1% | 287 Mt (100% basis) WAIO achieved another full year production record of 255 Mt (287 Mt on a 100% basis), reflecting strong supply chain performance with increased capacity unlocked by the Port Debottlenecking Project 1 (PDP1) and record production at South Flank. These more than offset the impacts of the continued tie-in activity for the Rail Technology Programme 1 (RTP1). South Flank completed ramp up to full production capacity of 80 Mtpa (100% basis) in FY24 as planned, which contributed to WAIO achieving record lump sales for the year. Following commissioning in December 2023, PDP1 has enabled higher production volumes and contributed to record sales for the year. Ramp up remains on track to be completed in CY24. Production for FY25 is expected to be between 250 and 260 Mt (282 and 294 Mt on a 100% basis) as we ramp up the planned tie-in activities for RTP1. Samarco 4.7 Mt Up 5% | 9.5 Mt (100% basis) Production increased as a result of higher concentrator throughput. FY25 production is expected to be between 5 and 5.5 Mt. The second concentrator at Samarco is expected to come online during Q3 FY25, increasing production capacity to approximately 16 Mtpa (100% basis) of pellets once fully ramped up.

Coal

Metallurgical coal

Production 22.3 Mt Down 23% FY23 29.0 Mt FY25e 16.5 - 19 Mt Average realised price US$266.06/t È2% FY23 US$271.05/t

BMA 22.3 Mt Down 23% | 44.6 Mt (100% basis) Production decreased as a result of increased stripping to improve supply chain stability and restore depleted inventory positions which arose from extended weather impacts and labour constraints over recent years, and the divestment of Blackwater and Daunia on 2 April 2024. Production was also impacted by an extended longwall move and geotechnical faulting at Broadmeadow during H1 FY24, and the temporary suspension of operations following the fatality of a team member at Saraji. Blackwater and Daunia produced 5 Mt (10 Mt on a 100% basis) in FY24 prior to their divestment. Production for FY25 is expected to be between 16.5 and 19 Mt (33 and 38 Mt on a 100% basis) reflecting the divestment of Blackwater and Daunia and impact of elevated strip ratios as we continue to improve supply chain stability and re-establish raw coal inventory positions.   In the next five years, we expect to increase production to between 21.5 and 22.5 Mtpa (43 and 45 Mtpa on a 100% basis) once BMA is operating with sustainable inventory levels and strip ratios normalise.

Energy coal

Production 15.4 Mt Up 8% FY23 14.2 Mt FY25e 13 - 15 Mt Average realised price US$121.52/t Down 49% FY23 US$236.51/t

NSWEC 15.4 Mt Up 8% Production increased due to strong operating performance across the year as improved weather and labour availability enabled an uplift in truck productivity. This included 1.3 Mt to support regional coal-fired power stations in line with the NSW Government Market Price Emergency (Directions for Coal Mines) Notice (Directions). The Directions ceased on 1 July 2024, with the change in royalty rates for open cut mines increasing 2.6% points, from 8.2% to 10.8%. Production for FY25 is expected to be between 13 and 15 Mt. We continue to progress our plans to cease mining at the asset in FY30, including delivering on our progressive rehabilitation commitments during FY24.

Group & Unallocated

Nickel

Production 81.6 kt Up 2% FY23 80.0 kt Average realised price US$18,197/t Down 24% FY23 US$24,021/t

Western Australia Nickel 81.6 kt Up 2% Nickel West production was in line with the prior year. We produced a higher proportion of the lower-value matte products as a result of increased maintenance at Kwinana Refinery and severe weather events in March 2024. On 11 July 2024, we announced the temporary suspension of operations at Western Australia Nickel with a transition period to commence from July 2024.  Operations will be suspended by October 2024 and handover activities for temporary suspension will be completed by December 2024. During the temporary suspension, we will invest ~US$300 m per annum in the facilities to enable a potential restart. We are expecting to report an underlying EBITDA loss of ~US$300 m at Western Australia Nickel for FY24 and to recognise a further non-cash impairment charge of US$0.3 bn (pre-tax) as an exceptional item in the Group's FY24 Financial Statements.

Quarterly performance | Q4 FY24 v Q3 FY24

Copper		Iron ore
505 kt Up 8% Q3 FY24 466 kt	Higher concentrator grade and throughput at Escondida, and higher volumes at Copper SA with record production at Carrapateena following the commissioning of Crusher 2 in Q3 FY24.	69 Mt Up 13% Q3 FY24 61 Mt	Record monthly and quarterly production achieved at WAIO as a result of strong underlying performance at the mines and the benefits of PDP1, as well as the prior quarter impacts of wet weather and a bushfire near Yandi.
