Our flagship copper, iron ore and steelmaking coal assets delivered particularly strong production in the period. Copper volumes rose 10%, with Escondida achieving a 10-year production record, more than offsetting the impact of a weather-related power outage at Copper SA. WAIO shipped record half-year tonnes through the port, enabled by supply chain improvements following the completion of major debottlenecking at the port. Steelmaking coal tonnes from the BMA operations were up 14%. We made further progress on our growth pathways in future facing commodities. In January, we completed the formation of Vicuña Corp. with Lundin Mining to advance the Filo del Sol and Josemaria projects in Argentina, which we consider to be one of the most significant global copper discoveries in decades. In Canada, our Jansen Stage 1 potash project is now 63% complete, with first production scheduled for late 2026, and we continue to execute Stage 2 in parallel. In Brazil, Samarco, BHP Brasil and Vale signed a comprehensive settlement agreement with the Brazilian government and public authorities for the Samarco Fundão dam failure, reflecting BHP Brasils commitment to support the people, communities and environment affected by the tragedy. Our WA Nickel operations were safely transitioned into a period of temporary suspension, with many employees moving into roles to support this phase or within other parts of BHP. We are well positioned to continue strong momentum into the second half with a number of assets now expected to deliver production in the upper half of their respective ranges, while maintaining tight cost control. BHP is in good shape and we have a clear pathway for growth. Mike Henry BHP Chief Executive Officer Summary Operational excellence Guidance Strong performance, Escondida up 22% Executing to plan Group copper production increased 10%, driven by a 22% increase at Escondida. We are on track to deliver production in the upper half of theFY25 guidance range at WAIO, BMA and NSWEC, as is Samarco. FY25 production guidance at all assets remains unchanged, with the exception of Copper SA, which has been lowered due to the impacts from the weather-related power outage. Strong underlying performance at all other assets, including at WAIO, where recent completion of the Port Debottlenecking Project (PDP1) has unlocked greater throughput, and at BMA where production increased 14% (excluding production from the now divested Blackwater and Daunia mines). We maintain sector leading cost discipline and remain on track to deliver FY25 unit cost guidance across all assets. Growth Social value Clear pathways for copper growth Decarbonising our assets and value chain In January 2025, we completed the formation of Vicuña Corp. , a 50/50 joint venture with Lundin Mining to develop the Filo del Sol and Josemaria copper projects. BHPs total cash completion payment was US$2.0 bn. At our 2024 AGM, we received a 92% vote in favour of our second Climate Transition Action Plan (CTAP) . We are taking action to decarbonise our operated assets and to support decarbonisation in our value chain, including the opening of the Port Hedland solar and battery project to provide renewable power to WAIOs port facility and announcing the site preferred for development of Australias largest ironmaking electric smelting furnace (ESF) pilot plant. In November 2024, we outlined our attractive organic copper growth pipeline at our Chilean copper site
