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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Based on provisional, unaudited estimates. Prices exclude sales
from equity accounted investments, third party product and internal
sales, and represent the weighted average of various sales terms
(for example: FOB, CIF and CFR), unless otherwise noted. Includes
the impact of provisional pricing and finalisation adjustments.
ii At 30 June
2024, the Group had 430 kt of outstanding
copper sales that were revalued at a weighted average price of
US$4.33/lb. The final price of these sales
will be determined in FY25. In addition, 342 kt of copper sales from FY23 were subject to a
finalisation adjustment in the current period. The displayed prices
include the impact of these provisional pricing and finalisation
adjustments.
iii The large majority
of copper cathodes sales were linked to index price for quotation
periods one month after month of shipment, and three to four months
after month of shipment for copper concentrates sales with price
differentials applied for location and treatment costs.
iv Sales from
Carrapateena and Prominent Hill acquired through the purchase of
OZL are included for Q4 FY24.
v The large
majority of iron ore shipments were linked to index pricing for the
month of shipment, with price differentials predominantly a
reflection of market fundamentals and product quality. Iron ore
sales for FY24 and Q4 FY24 were based on
an average moisture rate of 6.7% and 6.9%
respectively.
vi The large majority
of metallurgical coal and energy coal exports were linked to index
pricing for the month of scheduled shipment or priced on the spot
market at fixed or index-linked prices, with price differentials
reflecting product quality.
vii Hard coking coal (HCC)
refers generally to those metallurgical coals with a Coke Strength
after Reaction (CSR) of 35 and above, which includes coals across
the spectrum from Premium Coking to Semi Hard Coking coals, while
weak coking coal (WCC) refers generally to those metallurgical
coals with a CSR below 35.
viii Export sales only. Includes
thermal coal sales from metallurgical coal mines.
ix Relates to
refined nickel metal only, excludes intermediate products and
nickel sulphate.
