BHP Operational Review for the quarter ended 30 September 2023 (386 KB Excel)
BHP Chief Executive Officer, Mike Henry:
"We remain on track to deliver full year production and unit cost guidance at all assets.
"First quarter operational performance was highlighted by a 11% uplift in copper production from the previous year. After completing a typically busy quarter of planned maintenance particularly at our Australian assets, we are on track to achieve full year production and unit cost guidance. BMA in particular was impacted by planned maintenance, an extended longwall move and low opening inventory following drawdowns in the prior year.
"Jansen Stage 1 in Canada is approximately one-third complete after a productive summer. In South Australia, we saw strong operational performance in the first full quarter of production for the new province, as we bring our copper assets together and progress further exploration drilling."
