- BHP Group Limited is a world-leading resources company that produces and markets a portfolio of essential commodities, including iron ore, copper, metallurgical coal and, increasingly, potash. The company operates through three primary segments: Copper, encompassing open-cut mines such as Escondida and Pampa Norte in Chile that produce copper concentrate and copper cathodes along with by-products including silver, lead, zinc, molybdenum, uranium and gold; Iron Ore, featuring high-quality production from Western Australia; and Coal, focused on metallurgical coal from Queensland, Australia; it also holds interests in nickel and pursues potash development via the wholly owned Jansen project in Canada. BHP maintains operated assets and non-operated joint ventures across more than 90 locations worldwide, with key operations in Australia, Chile, Canada, Peru, the United States and Brazil, serving global markets in steelmaking, renewable energy infrastructure, sustainable agriculture and economic development. Founded in 1885 as the Broken Hill Proprietary Company and headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, BHP simplified its structure in January 2022 by unifying its dual-listed Australian and UK entities into a single Australian-listed company. In recent developments, BHP formed a 50/50 joint venture with Lundin Mining in early 2025 to develop the Filo del Sol and Josemaria copper projects in Argentina's Vicuna district, contributing US$690 million in cash consideration for the Josemaria asset while acquiring a stake in Filo; the company advanced its copper growth pipeline, including expansions at Escondida, and continued progress on the Jansen potash project toward first production; additionally, BHP abandoned its proposed acquisition of Anglo American in 2024 amid regulatory hurdles, redirecting focus to organic growth initiatives in copper and potash while enhancing capital discipline across its portfolio.
